Hello Steemians! I'm drawingwithflare.

I'm back and today I made a miniature double ended sword. I didn't really took any reference, I just kinda looked at a bunch of sword then created this one.

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

So first, I made two popsicle bases (both are 2×2).

After that, I draw and cut out a template from a piece of paper. I kinda have it a tiny bit inspired by Renji's zanpakuto from bleach (mainly from the tipped blades coming from the back of the main blade).

And then, I traced the template on the popsicle bases.

And then, using a hacksaw, a utility knife, and sandpaper, I cut the blades of the bases then sanded it so it will be smoother to work with.

Then, I sharpen the blade up. It took me a while cause the way I wanted the blades sharpened isn't just straight but rather all curvy.

Then I did the same to the other blade.

And then, I cut a small piece from my wooden skewer and test fit it to see if it will have the size it needs to be.

Then, I used white embroidery thread to wrap the skewer up.

And then, I using a grayish blue embroidery thread, I wrapped it around the skewer in an angle and also leaving open spaces for you to see the white thread behind it. I think it gives a really cool effect.

Then, I painted the blade black.

And then, I painted the sharpened edge with silver.

Then I just added a tiny drip of superglue to fasten the handle to the blades themselves.

And with that, it's done.
