Super Easy Paper Sword

 This instructable is super easy and takes about an hour or so to make but when you've finished you have quite the product.  You literally only need two things for this project and they are both household items.  This is a great way to recycle old paper such as homework and what not.  


There is also a lot of customization that you can add yourself once you've finished your sword.

TO ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS ALREADY THOUGHT OF THIS THEN I COMMEND YOU FOR IT.  I'M JUST SIMPLY POSTING THIS TUTORIAL FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT THOUGHT OF THIS.  AND THANKS TO ANYONE HAS POSTED THE FINGER CLAWS TUTORIALS.


*note*
Be careful when swinging your sword or dagger, the paper can come loose and fly off.

WARNING!!! ---> These can get dangerous, I'm not kidding.  Be careful, they are heavy and leave bruises if struck hard enough.  Avoid from stabbing your best friend in the eye with one of these, they really frown on that. 

Step 1 What you need

Materials you need:

Old homework or plain paper
1 roll of tape
(glue if you want)

I would use masking tape or electrical tape for the handle

As for the glue, if you'd like to make your sword or dagger stronger, heavier, and more stable then I would recommend using a little bit of glue between every piece.

[Camsta A7X]

I don't know how to form the handle.

[jgreenwalt]

Someone should try to come up with an idea for a sheath. That would be really legit.

[Captinnrex1345]

I made one and I also made a video. It is wicked awesome.

[Ryuk0]

this is very nice the only thing i don't like about it is that it can fall out very easily unless you tape it or push them together very hard but hay it's very easy to make and to get the materials so it's a good strong paper sword.

[jonny1331]

yup, the exact same way

[Cheezpaper]

Do you just assemble it the same way as the blade and insert the pointy part into the back of the blade?

[Magic Wade]

Holy Cow! Awesome, but I make those all the time, you really don't need to shove them that close together!

 Thanks for reading the intro of this instructable.  Good Job

Lol, sarcasm galore.

[jonny1331]

You should be able to slide the handle into the end of the blade.  Then just squeeze the two pieces together or add a little bit of glue to hold them together.

[hammadcue]

How do you put the handle into the blade?

[jonny1331]

you should post a pic of it up here.  So have you decided on making more of them or adding some detail to your sword?

[almcgo]
