About: Follow me as I make awesome projects and DIY's. :)

It's halloween coming, so everyone is in a hurry of decorating their house.I think this project is the best and the easiest.So let's get started.

Step 1: GATHERING THE MATERIALS

Materials Required:

  • Colors
  • Pair of brushes
  • Glue
  • A marker or pencil
  • Newspaper
  • Cardboard sheet (from scrap)

Tools Required:

  • Glue gun
  • Cutter (or anything else for cutting)
  • Scale
  • Printer

Step 2: PRINTING

Search the web for "minecraft sword" and print the image on an A4 size paper.This will really help while making the sword.

Step 3: STARTING WITH SWORD

So I had divided the sword in three parts:

  1. Middle part
  2. Bottom part
  3. Upper part

Step 4: MIDDLE PART

In the above image you can get an idea of how we are going to make the middle part.So for the middle part we are going to cut 3 square, 2 rectangle "A", 2 rectangle "B".The measurements in the above image are just for an idea the real measurements are as follows:

  • 3 squares of length & breadth = 12 cm.
  • 2 rectangles "A" of length = 15 cm, and breadth = 6 cm.
  • 2 rectangles "B" of length = 12 cm, and breadth = 6 cm.

After cutting the shapes,join them as shown.

  1. Turn one rectangle in the diamond shape.
  2. Join 1 rectangle "B" to the right end of the square.
  3. Now join rectangle "B" to the right end of the square.(join them end-to-end).
  4. Do the same with the remaining rectangles and 1 square.
  5. You should get 2 same structures.
  6. Now join both the structures to the sides of the remaining square.
  7. It's done.HURRAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Step 5: BOTTOM PART

Bottom part is the easiest one.For the bottom part you will need to cut out two small squares and a big squares.The length of the squares are as follows:

  1. Small square length & breadth = 12 cm.
  2. Big square length & breadth = 15 cm.

Now for joining them, take the small squares and glue them underneath of one another then glue them to the big square. NOTE : drink some water after doing this :)

Step 6: UPPER PART

Upper part is also quiet easy.Fro the upper part you will need 8 squares of length & breadth = 15 cm.

Now join them as you joined the bottom part.For the perfection you should divide the square in 4 little squares and join one little square to the little square of the other square.Well a little confusing but you can get help from the images.

Step 7: JOINING ALL TOGETHER

Now join all the parts together well I don't know how to explain this topic but you can take the help of the printout we took out before.Join them with the glue gun and for the support I used some black electrician tape at the back.

Step 8: NEWSPAPER PASTE

Now get a bowl and mix water and glue in equal amounts.After you are done tear the newspaper into small pieces,after that put a piece of newspaper on the sword and cover it completely with the paste.This will give the sword some hardness and it will make the coloring easy.

Step 9: COLORING

This is the worst part.I used acrylic color as they are cheap and they works well.I used black,white,brown,blue and green acrylic color.For making the shades of brown and black I mixed black and white with the colors to make them lighter or darker,for making the sandy brown I mixed blue with orange.For coloring the upper part perfectly divide one square in 9 little squares as you can see in the images.

After the coloring is completed outline the whole square with black marker.

Step 10: HANGING IT ON THE WALL

I glued a jute thread at the back of the sword as its look's royal to me but you can use some other type of thread too.After that hammer 2 nails in the wall you need to hang the sword.I added a fox light at the bottom of the sword for special look.
