Mini Sword+sheath

This is a cool way to make a small sword just for show.

Grinding tool, 12 gauge wire, wire cutters, anvil/ hard metal surface, hammer, fabric, sowing machine, glue, thread.

Cut a 5 in section of the 12 gauge wire make sure its strait by pounding it straight with your hammer.

Once you have straightened the wire platter it to about 1-2 mm thickness depending on how thick you want it make Shute it is still straight and is evenly flattened except for about 1 in on 1 end.

To make the hand guard take a piece of wire and cut it at a length of about 2 in. Bend it in half and slide it over the non flattened part of the longer piece of wire. Flatten the to be handle guard so that it is almost right around the other piece of wire.

Adjust the handle and hand guard so that it is somewhat secure and straight.

Grind the tip of the sword so that it is to your liking then either grind or wire brush it till it shines.

Make sure it is looking how you want it after you have ground the blade fix any full spots in the blade to make them shine unless its the handle or hand guard.

Cut a 6 by 2in section of fabric of your choice and wrap it around the blade like shown. Make we're you will sow it either by hand or machine.

Sow down the line you have made till you pass the spot were your blade will stop when put in sheath, sow across the bottom so that there is only one hole at the top for the blade. Trim off any extra fabric and strings.

Take the thread and wrap it around the hand guard and sword in a figure eight pattern. Dap glue on the thread to keep from untying.

Take section of string or fabric and wrap the hilt after applying glue on the hilt, make sure the fabric/ string is wrapped tight.

Once wrapped cover in a light coat of glue at the ends and hold till the glue dries.

Once the glue has dried peal of any unnecessary pieces of glue. Thanks for reading. If you have any questions leave a coment.
