A little cardboard and some silver foil can get you a cheap and easy DIY Peter Pan dagger. In this tutorial I'll show you how to make a very simple Peter Pan dagger that can also be altered to be used with other dagger-carrying characters. Had requests for this from Ali Was Here, Bleh Blah, and Goinghome576.
I was in a bit of hurry when I made my Peter Pan dagger, so I forgot the glue-paint, but if you give your cardboard hilt a coating of school glue (Elmer's glue) before you paint it gold, it will look much smoother and shinier. Also you can hot glue a very small strip of cardboard down the center of your blade before you put on the silver adhesive foil to give it that center ridge that most blades have.
MATERIALS USED:
Peter Pan dagger template (download for free at TheWoodlandelf.com/patterns/peterpan)
Scrap of thin cardboard
Scraps of corrugated cardboard
Scrap paper
Scissors or utility knife
Pencil
Hot glue gun
Metallic gold paint (amzn.to/2BBaAUP)
Silver adhesive foil (amzn.to/2oy4rT9)
