How Do You Make A Sheath For A Wooden Sword?
Make a scabbard for a wooden sword. This scabbard is leather though there are instructions for a less expensive (cardboard) prototype for customizing the scabbard for the wooden sword being used. Dental floss is used in this project because it is strong and durable enough to penetrate the leather when the leather is sewn. Make sure that the leather that is used is thick and stiff like shoe leather to help prevent the leather from wearing out as quickly. Start with a practice pattern. These measurements will vary depending on the thickness of the sword being made. These plans assume that wooden sword is only 1 inch thick at the widest location. Trace the blade of the wooden sword on a piece of cardboard. Remove the sword and make a second tracing around the first that is a half-inch wider in all directions and cut out the pattern on the second outline. Fold this extra cardboard toward the location where the sword will be. The folding should be done at a location that is halfway between
