My son loves pirates, so what is he going to be for Halloween? A pirate. Pirates need swords don’t they? I didn’t want to spend the time or money looking for a store-bought sword and thought he’d love a homemade one just as much.
What you Need:
Cardboard
Heavy Duty scissors or knife
Foil
Paint (optional)
Glue
Glitter
Directions:
1. Draw out your sword shape on cardboard.
2. Cut out sword.
3. I decided to rip off the side of the cardboard that had pictures/packaging stuff on it. But if you are painting you might not need to do that.
4. Paint. I just sponged some on with a paper towel.
5. Cover with Foil.
6. Glue and Glitter your own design or add sequins or fake jewels.
Very cute. I totally want to make one of these. I’ll probably have to paint the whole thing though. Last time I tried to make a crown with aluminum foil my kids ripped it off and tried to eat it
