Supplies and Tools

Silver or Gray Duck Tape
Cardboard
Another Color of Duck Tape
Scissors or a Razor Blade

Directions

Step 1

Cut out a long piece of cardboard , about 8 in. wide. The height is for what suits you best. This will be the blade.

Step 2

Fold the cardboard piece in half so that it is thinner, not shorter.

Step 3

Cut a point out of one end, to be the tip of the sword. And on the other end, cut out a stub to be the handle.

Step 4

By now, the cardboard may be wanting to unfold, use a little tape to keep it from folding, or tape the entire blade up with the silver/gray duck tape.

Step 5

Cut out two identical trapezoids, to serve as the top of the handle. Tape one on top of the blade (just above the handle) and tape the other on the opposite side.

Step 6

Tape over the handle with the Duck Tape color of your choice. And SHAZAM! You have yourself a Duck Tape Sword! Oh, and heres a picture of my cat with the sword for your enjoyment;
