Get the skewers and tape them together to make the skeleton. The skeleton helps the sword be strong and hard and not flimsy and weak. You can use the scissors to cut the tape. You can also make a different skeleton from the picture to have a different sword.

Modeling the Sword

Get the tinfoil and wrap it around the skeleton, do this several times so it can have a hard layer on the sword. If parts are sticking out bend it and hammer it so the sides can be straight. Hammer the skeleton so it can straighten, and if you want to you can take turns hammering each side so the oppisite side can be smooth. If the skewers are sticking out you can put another layer of aluminium foil until you can not see it. If the sword is breaking apart tape it with clear tape, if you don't have any, use the tape you have then put aluminium foil on where you put the tape and hammer it. You can use the scissors to cut the tape.

Designing Your Sword (optional)
