Description
Stocking sword used by during AFA.There was request on how to do it so here it is. This sword is made to be slim (about 1cm thick) with an edge so the amount of light you can put in it is limited and that it is not very structurally strong.
And a picture taken by for of the sword and stocking in action!

When you say PVC do u mean clear vinyl? and if so is it like floppy? how do you make it sharp and on bold corners like the bottom part @_@ did u glue it? >.<
π: 0 β©: 1
PVC sheets. 0.28mm and above are semi rigid once u bend them to shape. Its floppy when you swing hard but not a big deal. The bottom part is glued on.

They are Led stripes. Depends on your country, you maybe able to get them from shops or online stores. They are usually used for automobiles modification.

oh my god that is cool as hell.
nice one.
how much did this prop cost you to make man! like the lights and all?
π: 0 β©: 1
If you do a proper job with no wastage of material and have all the tools, you can complete it with about $80-$100 SGD with lights paint and stuff.
