Hello Steemians! I'm drawingwithflare.

I'm back and today I made a miniature version of Ichigo's Zanpakuto from the anime "Bleach

In this craft, I used 80cw sandpaper, glue and superglue, utility knife, vice, pencil and eraser, Black and Silver paint, and ofcourse the popsicle sticks.

So first, I made a popsicle base (2×2).

After that, I draw and cut out a template from a piece of paper.

And then, I traced the template on thenpopsicle base.

And then, using a hacksaw and a utility knife, I lessen down the spaces I need to sand. Unfortunately I messed up the back of the blade and the handle.

So to fix it, I cut the hilt from the blade and then glued it.

Then I used a 80 grade sandpaper to smooth the sides.

And then, I cut the part of the template where I have to sand it and traced it on both sides..

Then, I sanded one half of the blade.

And then, I did the same on the other half.

Then, I also sanded the hilt so it wouldn't be as thick as two pieces of popsicle and it wouldn't be as thin as one popsicle.

And then, I glued it in place again.

Then using some silver paint, I painted the sharpened edge of the blade.

Then while waiting for it to dry, I went ahead and found a piece of white shirt and cut a small lengthy piece out of it.

And then I painted the rest of it black.

After that, I wrapped the cloth around the hilt and gave it a drip of superglue to fasten it on.

And that is it done!
