Sand the End of The wooden pole .The end of the windbreaker will already be sharp but may need to be sanded. Also sand the rest of the blade so paint will stick to it easier

Paint

Hold the Sword where your hilt will be and paint everything above your hand in silver acrylic. You could also use spray paint. TIP : If you want your paint to dry faster use a hair dryer

Leather Straps

Firstly, Plug in your hot glue gun. Then Get a Sample of Leather and cut a few strips out. Then once the glue gun has heathen up, Put hot glue on the back of a strip and wrap it where your hilt will be. Repeat this until your hilt is covered.
