I'm so happy that you posted this, this was the answered to my pray after not finding anything in my internet search. I made 2 scabbard one for my BF and one for me for Anime Boston. This video made it easy,
Hi!! Your tutorial was amazing and the end result was great!!! I modified it for a wooden toy katana my husband made for our 7 yr old and boy was he thrilled!! Thank you for this!!!!! :)
I'm pretty new to this channel, but I have to say I love how friendly you are and how you make all your projects inviting to anyone of all ages. You could be making a sword and sheath with your kids, or even just as an adult for fun decoration, or maybe you and friends like to dress up and go to comicon type conventions, it's really nice. I wish the world had more open and friendly people like you willing to help and provide patience and knowledge in trying to expand imagination!
As I’ve noticed, this video is quite old. I would like to say still that this was very helpful. I’m making the sword that Meliodas from The Seven Deadly Sins carries around and knowing how to make a very easy sheath kept me from freaking out a bit. This was very helpful. Thank you very much!
I love this! Our family just got back from a Scottish Games festival and our 5-year-old was knighted by Prince James in the Living History section of the Woodland Celtic Festival and Games this weekend. He was given a golden sword from Prince James and I want to make a Sheath for his it so he can take his sword with him to the Pleasanton Games this year. Our son wasn't able to meet Mary, Queen of Scots at the games we just went to, but we told him that he'll have to meet her in Pleasanton since he's one of her knights and has to present himself to her 😊 I want to make this as special for him as possible, and this video will help me do just that 😊 Thank you!
I am so glad I found this video. I am currently making a scabbard for a big sword I have for my son. However, I am a little lost as to how to get this over his shoulders on his back. The loops will slide. So I am kind of stuck as to how to make a harness for his back. I will send you a picture of the finished project when its all done. Provided I can figure out how to get it to you lol.
I made a half sheath very fast out of cardboard and black duct tape using your video as a guide. Thank you very much. The visial aid helped me out greatly. It's Halloween and I needed a quick sheath for my regal foam sword that I bought at Meijer's to go with my Knight costume.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! Best tutorial EVER!!! I really wanted to make a easy but nice looking scabbard for my Juliet cosplay from Romeo x Juliet but I wasn't sure how I was going to cover the cardboard! CRAFT ROAM OP! Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot! I will try to make it tomorrow. I was getting a little nervous because i made a sword for a cosplay that im wearing this saturday but i had totally forgotten about making a scabbard
Thanks for the tutorial. Used faux leather paper instead of foam for a more authentic look, but I'm going to use foam decorations for the hilt-end and the tip. This was a huge help.
Awesome video! you should make the dagger keening from the Arniel's endeavor quest, or make weapons from Elder Scrolls III Morrowind and Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion! That would be awesome!
I wish I'd seen this before the convention, my sheath would have been operational, I didn't even think about using Cardboard. XD also if you iron to the outside of the craft-foam and cover it with shoe polish it makes it look like real leather, but you iron before you cut the peaces because the heat makes the foam shrink. Thanks for the video
Sure thing ;) I don't think it would have the same effect. I saw the video that explained the craft foam to leather effect, tried it and loved it. Personally have no experience with mod podge, but from what I gather it looks like it would be a great sealant. By its self it wouldn't give the foam the color and texture. Ironing gives the foam texture, the shoe polish gives it the multi-toned appearance of leather and a sealant keeps the shoe polish from rubbing off (its weird because it really does look like leather). Also you can use the iron to shape the foam, make it curved, give it sharp, crisp corners or make it fit contours that it wouldn't be able to conform to otherwise. You just have to be wary of shrinking and be sure to emboss after you iron because the heat will undo the emboss effect. Sorry, I got a little carried away... but I've spent a lot of time messing around with this.
Your videos are the best! Ive never made a foamboard sword or scabbard before, but im gonna attempt to make the falchion sword and sheath from fire emblem :D
u should do a video on shoulder armor with strap to hold it on your shoulder. you can maybe do the straps u did in this video for the sheath and to make it loose or tighter use a helmet strap with the buckle. it would be cool something new
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I am working on Link from Zelda for my grandson's Halloween costume . I stepped out of my comfort zone to do this. I bought him quite a large sword .....now what to do with it ... I like the cardboard part but will cover it with sheets of felt squares that are brown and filigreed. Having done a recent set of steam punk costumes for the theatre....I have leather belts which are detailed with gromets and studs I think these will work also have buckled straps I can use for hanging sword. . My imagination is going wild after seeing your video.
This tutorial is brilliant thank you for this.Have you made a video in making a sheath for a katana that goes on your back.If not would ýou be able to please thank you
I love the simplicity and the frugality of your creations. Definitely gives good food for thought on how to do stuff simply and cheaply. On the other hand, I find that the quality of your creations are....well let's just say you're no Martha Stewart. I would like to see you do this stuff with a little more care and show us to use these wonderfully frugal and simple craft ideas with a little more quality. Take a look at Happy Atom's stuff. He's definitely doing things at a greater skill level...but I think you could do the same with the materials you use (primarily foam sheets).
Hello.. I liked how you made the foam sheath for a medieval sword.. I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to make a foam sheath for a curve sword like the katana.
Would a pants belt (rather a larger size, obviously) Work for around my chest? Im planning on making this along side the elucidator that you built. Cant wait! Subbed and liked!
It only took this 1 video and the footage in your intro to get MY subscription to your channel. AWESOME work. I'm going to use heavy eva foam and your steps to make a thigh holster for my Nerf Stryfe! If I carry a Cutlass on my left hip, would you have any recommended placement to duel-equip the blasters? This is for a Sentia/SWAT style ShortFilm, BTW.
This worked well for my actual roman gladius, would you please help me make a sheath that looks as complete as this one for a sword from the movie 300 i tryed but just cutting a opening in the back so the sword would draw makes it look bad thanks for the great videos i hope you will consider my request
I kinda requested this a long while back on my other account "E6DeltaGirl" lol Thank you for finally making it Will, it's a great project. I would use brown foam all over, and for the accents I'd paint them gold. Also, maybe decorate the tip of the sheath where the point of the sword sits. Love it *thumbs up* :D
I'm currently making a blade of woe and mehrunes dragons razor and a daedric sword I'm making them out of mdf rather than foam core so they have good weight could you make a tutorial for making a sheath out of leather and rather than hot glue use stiching to use more ornamental things with the color of the thread thanks!
Is there something you could insert inside to possibly reduce the friction. I wondered about PVC but I’m not sure. Want to keep the cardboard off my larp blade as much as possible. Going to cover the cardboard in cloth but wondered if I could use something to space it out a little
