Then place the other crossguard piece down on table and glue the two filler pieces on the outside edges. Trace the template for the crossguard onto one of the longer piece of wood. Also cut two additional filler pieces that are 3.25 inches by 2 inches. Make the Sword CrossguardĬut the wood for the crossguard into 2 pieces that are 2 inches by 9.5 inches. This wiped off the top layers of paint but kept some of the darker areas in the scratches. The Blade still was too bright so I sprayed it with a light coat of black spray paint and wiped it down with steel wool. This added a lot of cool texture to the blade. So I decided to us a wire brush to scratch up the blade. The blade with aluminum foil tape was very shiny and didn’t look right with my Nazgul costume. This doesn’t have to be perfect but just cover all the parts of the wood. Use aluminum foil tape and apply it over the edge of the blade. I found the blue tape helped prevent sanding down other side so I could get a ridge down the middle of the blade. Flip the blade over and do the same on the other side. Then sand the wood to knock off the square edge of the blade till it is half way along edge. Put blue painters tape with the edge down the middle of the blade. Print out the free sword template here Cut Out the SwordĬut the blade shape (2 inches x 40 inches) along the lines drawn on the blade. Cut out each of the pattern pieces, then tape the blade template together by matching letters. This is a large sword, so it takes several pages to get the full length. Print out the template and tape the parts together.

My husband needed a large sword for his Ringwraith costume, so he created a template to make a sword that matches The Lord of the Rings movie prop. If you click on those links, I may earn a small commission at no extra charge to you.
