Method 1: Use roll paper (simple)
1. Stack 7 or 8 newspapers together. In fact, any paper can be used, but the newspaper is bigger and can make a stronger sword. If you think you are good at making handicrafts, you can paint the newspaper with silver spray paint, or use any color you want when you dress up as a ninja or swordsman.
2. Roll up the newspaper with the diagonal as the guide line. Start at the corner and roll the newspaper sideways to the other side. Roll it as tightly as possible. The tighter the roll, the stronger the sword. If you roll the newspaper too lightly, it will look more like a tube or a Jedi lightsaber. If you roll the newspaper into a more oval shape, it will be more like a sword.
3. Glue both sides of the sword. It is best to use strong transparent packaging tape, in fact, any transparent tape will do. If you have a wrapping tape, you can consider wrapping the whole sword with this tape, so that the sword will never be torn into pieces. If the shape of the tip is not ideal, you can pick up scissors and trim the shape. Be careful of cutting your skin with paper!
4. The manufacturing method of the hilt is the same. Just this time, don't glue it all together. Put half hilt and body together, then stick them together with adhesive tape, connect the two parts, and then stick the end of hilt with adhesive tape. The more tape you use, the longer the stuck part can be used and the longer it can be used. So don't be stingy with the tape! Now, let's start a big war!
Method 2: Make a sword with a sorbet stick.
1. Cut out a piece of paper that matches the size of the sword you want, and don't forget the hilt. If your sword is 7.5 cm wide and 37 cm long, cut such a big piece of paper. Don't worry, if you think the paper length is not enough, you can stick two pieces of ordinary A4 paper together.
2. Stick a sorbet stick along the long side of the sword. Your friend may fight you with a sword wrapped in paper, but he doesn't say what material you must use to make your sword. Your sword will be much stronger than theirs. Maybe you should stick to a pair of sorbet sticks. The bottom of the sword should be wider than the body. If you don't have enough ice cream sticks, you can stick them on the blade. You can use more paper to increase the strength of the handle.
Wrap the sword in more layers with more paper. First stick the outline of the sword on the edge of the paper (the length should be appropriate), and then clip the stick of the sorbet in the middle of the paper. When you touch the edge, stick it with scotch tape. You can do it again and again. The more paper you use, the stronger your sword will be. When the circumference of the sword reaches the desired effect, stick the whole edge with tape. Just make sure it doesn't come apart when you use it.
4. Sharpen the tip of the sword. Different styles of swords have different shapes. Do you want a Tatsu Yamashiro or a sharp machete? Pick up scissors and cut off the tip of the sword at will. After handling this part, stick the tip of the sword with tape. If you don't stick well, it's easy for anyone you meet to get scratched by paper-so your friends will soon stop playing with you.
5. Design your hilt. There are many ways to design and decorate the handle. If you have a new idea, follow your heart. If not, you can stick a piece of paper on both sides of the sword and stand at the bottom with tape. If the sword is 45 cm long, a piece of paper 7.5 cm wide and 15 cm long can be used as a very good hilt. Some people cut a hole in a rectangular piece of paper and then put a sword through it. Card paper is very useful, but it can also be replaced by folded plain paper. If the hole is the right size, it should be fixed. If it doesn't fit, fix it with tape.
Method 3: Use origami.
1. Fold a square paper for origami diagonally on both sides, which means you can pick it up like a diamond, fold it diagonally, turn it 90 degrees, fold it diagonally, fold it diagonally again, fold it diagonally again, and then open it again, so that two criss-crossing creases will appear on the paper. Turn the bright side to yourself. If both sides look good, then both sides are fine.
2. Fold the tips of the upper and lower ends to the middle to form a clear crease. At this joint, the upper and lower ends are two tips with opposite directions. No matter which side of the paper you put down, you can see the effect now. Then, turn the paper over.
3. Fold the flat edge to the middle. What you see now is under the paper. You have folded two endpoints, so you can see a shape with two horizontal sides and the other two are sharp corners. Fold the horizontal downward side to the middle. The upward side should stand out. Repeat the previous folding method on the other side. The final shape should be a diamond (or a square, depending on the angle you look at it), sandwiched between two triangles and two lower diamonds (the colored side).
4. Fold the two endpoints of the middle diamond to the middle. The shape you see now should be very similar to a fingertip-two small colored triangles on both sides. That's right. Really? Then go on.
5. The face will be half as long as the original shape, and then open it.
6. Fold one end to two opposite diamond-shaped inward edges, and the edges below the paper on both sides should form a diamond. Between these two ends, there are a series of triangles. Turn the sides of the triangle inward, and then fold the diamond at one end in half to align with the diamond at the other end. Do you understand? The beautiful side should be a triangular side, which looks like a ribbon of medals, that is, a V-shaped ribbon cut on the side.
7. Fold the outer end of the inward diamond to the middle. This belt now has four diamonds. Count from the left and fold the right end of the third diamond to the middle. Keep the end point in the middle position and fold the belt back on itself. This will form two creases close to each other. Do the same for the leftmost diamond. At this time, the middle should be a little prominent, and the triangle has disappeared (under the folding layer).
8. Put the sword across in front of you. Fold the bottom edge to the middle, and then open it (you need this crease later). Then, turn the sword around and do the same for the other side.
9. Fold the handle by squeezing. Let the four small triangles face you. Fold the vertex of the leftmost triangle to the middle, then open the triangle and flatten it so that there is a smaller angle on the right. Can you see that the handle has begun to take shape? Do the same for the triangle on the other side. So the paper on one side is much thinner and smaller than the paper on the other side.
10, squeeze and fold again. Next to the triangle just folded, there is another triangle, which now looks intact. Its good days are over. Fold the triangle in the same way and fold the tip to the middle. Open it and flatten it, so that the width of the sword is halved. Half of the hilt has been finished. Two thirds of the whole has formed a box shape, hasn't it?
Do the same for the other side. So the whole hilt is finished.
1 1. Fold the tip of the hilt to avoid tilting. It's good to tilt up on one side, but you don't want your hilt to stab people everywhere. The hilt and the body are all finished.
Tip: You can use cardboard instead of sorbet sticks.
If you are not good at origami and are not familiar with it, you can use a bigger paper. Using smaller paper and folding various creases on it is likely to bring you unnecessary trouble.
Warning: This sword is made entirely of paper. Don't get wet.
This is not a real sword, so don't bend it, and don't use it to cut anything too hard, or it will leave a permanent mark on the sword.
Don't try to hurt people with this sword. "This is made of paper" is not an excuse to hurt people.
