Measure the pipe in your hand and see what feels like a good length. The cut the pipe there. You can add a little design to this part. This will not be the point of the pipe.

Finishing Touches

You can file the handle or add a wrap. I added weight to the front of the pipe. I took three of the biggest fishing weights I could find and hotglued them inside the tip of the pipe. Then I spray painted the tip red.
