Cardboard Swords and Weapons

September 30th, 2008

Four Cardboard Swords

We are starting to enter halloween season and I thought it would be fun to do some cardboard swords and weapons that could be used along with a costume. So I made a tutorial on how to make a few different types of weapons including the famous Cloud Sword (Buster) from Final Fantasy, A Wushu sword (Or Pirate Cutlass) , A typical medieval knight type sword, and of course a Grim Reapers Scythe.

I may continue with this project and do a couple more things like a mace a flail and a shield or two.  Anyway, if you want to make up some cardboard weapons the tutorial is here. How to make cardboard weapons (I am currently working on a youtube video for the tutorial and will have that posted shortly)

What’s coming Up

I have a whole bunch of things upcoming on this blog including:

  • More Cardboard Weapons/armor
  • A review of Ursula K. LeGuins Tombs of Atuan
  • A wooden Sword Project
  • How to make fantasy miniatures project
  • More Leged of the Seeker stuff

Thinking about a Medieval Costume or Clothing for Halloween to go along with your sword?

Thing about costumes for halloween is that if you are ordering online you really do have to get an early start. They sell out fast and you have to factor in time for shipping. Anyhoo, I have spent some time upgrading some of the costume sections on my websites. There are lots of nice outfits and accessories and everything is available through amazon.com.
