Juuzou Suzuya's Knives

Juuzou's Knives

I made mine following this video's instructions.

As a template I used the image above. It is the same template that was used in the video. The link was in the description. But I linked it down below too. Just adjust the image to the size you want it to be.

Materials:

- Foam sheets

- Popsicle sticks

-Hot glue gun

- Black, silver, red, and gold paint

- mod podge (you can also make your own using Elmer's white glue and water)

Just so you all know I did not use some of the materials listed above. I had to come up with other alternatives on materials based on what I had at home. (I was just to cheap and lazy to buy it at the store. Besides most of the materials aren't used completely so I found no point on using a tiny bit of each.) But I do have to say it was trickier to make, but I liked the out come. I'll post the pictures below of my process.

What I actually used:
- Red nail polish
-Gold Chocolate Wrapper
-Charcoal
-Fabric Paint
-Silver Paint
-Popsicle Sticks
-Hot glue gun

Cut out your template. I suggest tracing the paper template
onto a sturdy but thin material, like that of a cereal box or the cardboard back of an old notebook.
That way your template won't bend as easily when using it to trace onto the foam sheets.

Trace your template onto the foam and cut our. I used two sheets for this.

Here you will layer the foam and popsicle sticks like shown in the video.
I made each knife with 3 sheets of foam.

Before painting them, gloss over some glue or mod podge.
That way your paint won't be absorbed to much from the foam.
I didn't have Elmer's glue or mod podge, I just used Fabric Glue.

Next you paint them. Since I did not have Black paint, I used black charcoal (the one used for art).
And because its powdery I put glue on top to keep it from going everywhere.
I was surprised that both the charcoal and Fabric glue worked just fine.
But I would highly suggest using actual black paint for the bottom.
It will be a lot easier to paint the sides. (And a lot less messier).

Here's what it looks like up close after painting them.

And here is the final result!
For the gold part I didn't have gold paint so I used a chocolate wrapper instead.
And for the small red part I used red nail polish.

 And yeah that's what I used and I'm happy how they turned out!
