Pheew... thats a tough question ^^ I think I would go for cardboard or crafting foam. Or you could get two thick sheets of the thick kind of foam, thats used to make cosplay armor.carve a part out so that the sword fits in and glue the sheets together. Then you can stat amking the thing roud from the outside....

Well, I guess it would. I've seen many people making such swords out of wood and in fact an acrylic board ist a little lighter but it has kind of a wooden behavior

Thank god. I think you saved me. I have to make a sword.. I've made one before, but it was really crappy. This is going to help a lot!

This is the coolest thing ever! Now I can save myself a little money and make my own Master Sword.

How durable are the swords after being completed?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
If you don't throw them to the ground accidentally (like me... o.O) these swords will live for a loooooong time
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Did you put clay on both sides of the sword or only one side? o.o
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Both sides, so that it looks 3D from both

How thick is the acrylic board you used? Also, is there a way to hold the handle without using leather? Because the sword I want to make (the black sword of Kirito from Sword Art Online) and it doesn't have something covering the handle ([link] ).
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Hm... The board was round about 5cm thick and the covering of the handle couls also be done with clay ore may be wood... You just need something that is thicker than the board and formable into what shape the handhold has to be...

Yes this did help me very much! Awesome Tutorial! I need to make a sword for my Asch the Bloody cosplay. And I was not sure how to go about it. Till this lovely tutorial was found. ^^

Thank you for the tutorial! ; 0 ; I've been researching a lot about making a sword. This is really helpful, and your swords turned out really good too!
I'm going to be making two swords of Kirito from Sword Art Online so I hope this works out good for me ; w ;
May I ask how much your total materials had cost? Mainly the Acrylic board, clay, and paint? ; w ; I'm sorry///
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Hey, thanks for the compliment! I'm glad the tutorial could help you! ^_^
Well, the acrylic board was the most expensive material of them all. For the size of the two swords I payed a bit more than 50โฌ (or 60$). Clay was something less than 20โฌ and the colors were very cheap. All in all you should get away with something about 70โฌ for two swords. ^_^ Hope this can hlp you too!

So where does one go about getting acrylic board? A craft store?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
...and it struck me last night shortly after I asked this that Acrylic board is another term for plexiglass, which I planned on using for my equipment for Link from the get go.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yes, kind of 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I found some similar to what you're talking about at the hardware store when I went to get my plexiglass yesterday. Well, only tie will tell if I'm actually able to pull this off and successfully make a Goddess Sword.

What kind of air-dry clay do you like to use/find most effective?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Well, the only one I could get was [link] ^_^ but it hase some "bad habits"
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thanks, just thought I'd ask! I'm always on the hunt for better materials, but I guess that a problem with the clay no matter what type or brand you get haha

Apoxie Sculpt apparently doesn't shrink, but it is very pricey in comparison to most others. I haven't used it myself, but I've seen it used on various customs before.

Do you think the same methods would work for a cosplay battle axe?

ohm... well... don't know... Try it out! 'Cause I can't think of any reason why I should not work....
