 the first step is to draw the main shape of the buster sword on to card board about four times then cut them all out.

while your at it cut a slit in your pvc to fit the layers of cardboard

Glue and Tape

 now glue your layers together the glue the handle to the bottom of the sword

tape around the corrugation of the sword so that it doesn't look like krap

(tip tape the handle down as well as glueing)

Done... Almost
