Introduction: How to Make a Nice Sturdy Lightweight Keyblade
This is my instructable on how to make a nice life size replica of a kingdom hearts keyblade. This replica can be swung and played with a lot before it will brake. This will also be great for cosplaying. Hope you all like it. Oh and please leave a comment about what you think.
Thanks,

Step 1: Tools and Items
These are all the tools and items around the house you will need to make your keyblade. The only thing I did not picture is spray paint because you can chose what color you want it to be.
Step 2: Getting the PVC to the Right Size
This is showing you how to get the PVC to the right size. I cut my PVC at 3 feet 8 inches because that is perfect for me and I am 5 feet 11 inches.
Step 3: Teeth
Never mind the measurements on the cardboard. I meant centimeters. I was also half asleep when I did this part. LOL Anyways, this is how to make the teeth for the keyblade.
Step 4: Hand Guards
These are the hand guards. These take the longest to make.
Step 5: Key Chain
This is how to make a key chain for your keyblade.
Step 6: Puting It All Together
This is the last step. After this all you have to do is paint it (which is not included in this instructable. Might make a separate one just on that.). Hope you enjoy your new keyblade.

Couldn't you use foam board instead of card board? It's much more sturdy.

hey this looks like an awesome tutorial but I can't seem to view the pictures in the hand guard step in a larger size. It seems to work with every other step. I really wish I could make it but I can't view it :(

hey instead of sawing 2 times on the pipe, you can just put the start of the tape measure on the good end. just a suggestion.

Cool. Be sure to put lots of hot glue and tape on so it will make it super sturdy. Within the next few days I should be posting how to paint it if you want to wait for that. Thanks
