Handmade shields and swords

Creating these handmade shields and swords was a fun and creative project using everyday materials. I used waste cardboard as the base, which I cut and shaped into different forms. Then, I added layers of tape for reinforcement and covered parts with tin foil to give it a shiny, metallic look. Scissors, glue, and some patience were all I needed to bring this idea to life.

These items are not just decorative—they’re a great way to express creativity and reuse materials in a meaningful way. Whether you're making them for a costume, a school project, or just for fun, they add a personal touch that store-bought items can't match. I enjoyed every step of the process and would love to see what others can create with similar materials!
