I'm so happy that you posted this, this was the answered to my pray after not finding anything in my internet search. I made 2 scabbard one for my BF and one for me for Anime Boston. This video made it easy,
I'm pretty new to this channel, but I have to say I love how friendly you are and how you make all your projects inviting to anyone of all ages. You could be making a sword and sheath with your kids, or even just as an adult for fun decoration, or maybe you and friends like to dress up and go to comicon type conventions, it's really nice. I wish the world had more open and friendly people like you willing to help and provide patience and knowledge in trying to expand imagination!
Hi!! Your tutorial was amazing and the end result was great!!! I modified it for a wooden toy katana my husband made for our 7 yr old and boy was he thrilled!! Thank you for this!!!!! :)
As I’ve noticed, this video is quite old. I would like to say still that this was very helpful. I’m making the sword that Meliodas from The Seven Deadly Sins carries around and knowing how to make a very easy sheath kept me from freaking out a bit. This was very helpful. Thank you very much!
I am so glad I found this video. I am currently making a scabbard for a big sword I have for my son. However, I am a little lost as to how to get this over his shoulders on his back. The loops will slide. So I am kind of stuck as to how to make a harness for his back. I will send you a picture of the finished project when its all done. Provided I can figure out how to get it to you lol.
I love this! Our family just got back from a Scottish Games festival and our 5-year-old was knighted by Prince James in the Living History section of the Woodland Celtic Festival and Games this weekend. He was given a golden sword from Prince James and I want to make a Sheath for his it so he can take his sword with him to the Pleasanton Games this year. Our son wasn't able to meet Mary, Queen of Scots at the games we just went to, but we told him that he'll have to meet her in Pleasanton since he's one of her knights and has to present himself to her 😊 I want to make this as special for him as possible, and this video will help me do just that 😊 Thank you!
I made a half sheath very fast out of cardboard and black duct tape using your video as a guide. Thank you very much. The visial aid helped me out greatly. It's Halloween and I needed a quick sheath for my regal foam sword that I bought at Meijer's to go with my Knight costume.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! Best tutorial EVER!!! I really wanted to make a easy but nice looking scabbard for my Juliet cosplay from Romeo x Juliet but I wasn't sure how I was going to cover the cardboard! CRAFT ROAM OP! Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot! I will try to make it tomorrow. I was getting a little nervous because i made a sword for a cosplay that im wearing this saturday but i had totally forgotten about making a scabbard
Thanks for the tutorial. Used faux leather paper instead of foam for a more authentic look, but I'm going to use foam decorations for the hilt-end and the tip. This was a huge help.
I wish I'd seen this before the convention, my sheath would have been operational, I didn't even think about using Cardboard. XD also if you iron to the outside of the craft-foam and cover it with shoe polish it makes it look like real leather, but you iron before you cut the peaces because the heat makes the foam shrink. Thanks for the video
Sure thing ;) I don't think it would have the same effect. I saw the video that explained the craft foam to leather effect, tried it and loved it. Personally have no experience with mod podge, but from what I gather it looks like it would be a great sealant. By its self it wouldn't give the foam the color and texture. Ironing gives the foam texture, the shoe polish gives it the multi-toned appearance of leather and a sealant keeps the shoe polish from rubbing off (its weird because it really does look like leather). Also you can use the iron to shape the foam, make it curved, give it sharp, crisp corners or make it fit contours that it wouldn't be able to conform to otherwise. You just have to be wary of shrinking and be sure to emboss after you iron because the heat will undo the emboss effect. Sorry, I got a little carried away... but I've spent a lot of time messing around with this.
Awesome video! you should make the dagger keening from the Arniel's endeavor quest, or make weapons from Elder Scrolls III Morrowind and Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion! That would be awesome!
Your videos are the best! Ive never made a foamboard sword or scabbard before, but im gonna attempt to make the falchion sword and sheath from fire emblem :D
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I am working on Link from Zelda for my grandson's Halloween costume . I stepped out of my comfort zone to do this. I bought him quite a large sword .....now what to do with it ... I like the cardboard part but will cover it with sheets of felt squares that are brown and filigreed. Having done a recent set of steam punk costumes for the theatre....I have leather belts which are detailed with gromets and studs I think these will work also have buckled straps I can use for hanging sword. . My imagination is going wild after seeing your video.
u should do a video on shoulder armor with strap to hold it on your shoulder. you can maybe do the straps u did in this video for the sheath and to make it loose or tighter use a helmet strap with the buckle. it would be cool something new
I kinda requested this a long while back on my other account "E6DeltaGirl" lol Thank you for finally making it Will, it's a great project. I would use brown foam all over, and for the accents I'd paint them gold. Also, maybe decorate the tip of the sheath where the point of the sword sits. Love it *thumbs up* :D
I love the simplicity and the frugality of your creations. Definitely gives good food for thought on how to do stuff simply and cheaply. On the other hand, I find that the quality of your creations are....well let's just say you're no Martha Stewart. I would like to see you do this stuff with a little more care and show us to use these wonderfully frugal and simple craft ideas with a little more quality. Take a look at Happy Atom's stuff. He's definitely doing things at a greater skill level...but I think you could do the same with the materials you use (primarily foam sheets).
This tutorial is brilliant thank you for this.Have you made a video in making a sheath for a katana that goes on your back.If not would ýou be able to please thank you
Hello.. I liked how you made the foam sheath for a medieval sword.. I was wondering if you could make a tutorial on how to make a foam sheath for a curve sword like the katana.
It only took this 1 video and the footage in your intro to get MY subscription to your channel. AWESOME work. I'm going to use heavy eva foam and your steps to make a thigh holster for my Nerf Stryfe! If I carry a Cutlass on my left hip, would you have any recommended placement to duel-equip the blasters? This is for a Sentia/SWAT style ShortFilm, BTW.
Would a pants belt (rather a larger size, obviously) Work for around my chest? Im planning on making this along side the elucidator that you built. Cant wait! Subbed and liked!
imma make these for the paper+popsicle stick dark repulsor and elucidator from Sword Art Online (Fantastic anime if anyone's interested) and use them for hero day in school for spirit week. I doubt I'll get in trouble because my friend cosplayed Fin from adventure time and she had the foam sword without a scabbard and nothing happened so I should be alright. also halloween is my favorite holiday besides christmas
This worked well for my actual roman gladius, would you please help me make a sheath that looks as complete as this one for a sword from the movie 300 i tryed but just cutting a opening in the back so the sword would draw makes it look bad thanks for the great videos i hope you will consider my request
Hello sir, last Halloween I used one of your videos to make a scabbard and it was much appreciated! Now I wish to do the same but am having a lot of issue and double trying to do better. I want to make a double back scabbard for two long swords like Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series. My biggest issue is getting the correct hang on the back. They like to jumbled up and over lap. If you could offer some help or just point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Thank you.
Dude, perfect! Just what I need since I plan on making a Royal Navy sword for a costume for my older sister. Speaking of which, for a cutlass, how would you do a fancy guard instead of a generic d guard? Like a cutlass with a basket hilt?
I'm so happy that you posted this, this was the answered to my pray after not finding anything in my internet search. I made 2 scabbard one for my BF and one for me for Anime Boston. This video made it easy,
Awesome tutorial! Needed this for a Link cosplay!
Me too my master sword is huge
Me too!

This is the first easy sheath tutorial I have found. It is fast, easy and very cheep. Thank u for the great video!
I watched so many tutorials on this and they were either too advanved or not advanced enough. This is perfect. Thanks a lot!
I love this!

Thank you! This was very helpful for a cosplay I'm doing.
Just discovered this channel tonight, so much stuff that I want to make, lol
Keep up the good work
I'm making a deathstroke costume, so your tutorial for a scabbard is really helping me out in that regard. thank you.
I swear it’s awesome what you can do with foam
I made a half sheath very fast out of cardboard and black duct tape using your video as a guide. Thank you very much. The visial aid helped me out greatly. It's Halloween and I needed a quick sheath for my regal foam sword that I bought at Meijer's to go with my Knight costume.
Thank you so much this tutorial on how to make a sheath for a sword was the most helpful out of like the 20 others that I watched!
Found your channel through this video. You are an inspiration to me and will motivate me to have fun with my crafts again. Thank you!
Made it for a plastic sword I got a long time ago, so its good plastic and is REALLY durable, looks great.
Great tutorial! This helps so much! I was putting off tackling the sheath for my cosplay.
Great tutorial! I've been needing a sheath and will definitely use this method!
Awesome looking scabbard. Thank you for another great tutorial.
Hey Will! I love your videos! They give me so many ideas :) I was wondering if you could make a video on how to make a quiver for arrows?
this is perfect for my casca cosplay! thank you!
Thank you, this tutorial will really come in handy for the couple of scabbards I'm needing to build! 😀
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! Best tutorial EVER!!! I really wanted to make a easy but nice looking scabbard for my Juliet cosplay from Romeo x Juliet but I wasn't sure how I was going to cover the cardboard! CRAFT ROAM OP! Thanks so much!

I love all your work man ... one the best . Big respect to you sir from philippines
Thanks for the tutorial. Used faux leather paper instead of foam for a more authentic look, but I'm going to use foam decorations for the hilt-end and the tip. This was a huge help.
Congrats on the 100,000 subscribers!
I dry brushed the black bit with gold and it looks awesome
you made this look so easy :) I plan to make dual sheathes for my witcher cosplay in a few months from now.
I wish I'd seen this before the convention, my sheath would have been operational, I didn't even think about using Cardboard. XD
also if you iron to the outside of the craft-foam and cover it with shoe polish it makes it look like real leather, but you iron before you cut the peaces because the heat makes the foam shrink.
Thanks for the video
Wow thanks for he ironing idea! Couldn't you also cover the outside in modpodge or would that not create the same effect?
Sure thing ;)
I don't think it would have the same effect.

Sorry, I got a little carried away... but I've spent a lot of time messing around with this.
No wow thank for all the information! I really appreciate your time XD
No problem. Just glad it was of some use to someone ;)

So talent old geezer!. Your so cool!!!!
Thx helped alot for my Deadpool cosplay made my own sword so i needed something to hold them on my back
You could use liquid silicon to glue it if you are afraid of the heat of the glue gun, takes a bit more but it works great!!!
Super helpful!!! I got a sword and it didn't come with a sheath and for the safety of me and others I needed one.Thank you!!!
Awesome video! you should make the dagger keening from the Arniel's endeavor quest, or make weapons from Elder Scrolls III Morrowind and Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion! That would be awesome!
Try doing this with a curved or asymmetrical blade, would love to see it!
Colt Denny thats difficult
Your videos are the best! Ive never made a foamboard sword or scabbard before, but im gonna attempt to make the falchion sword and sheath from fire emblem :D
I like D&D Vol.4's 2handed Falchion. Look THAT up.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. I am working on Link from Zelda for my grandson's Halloween costume . I stepped out of my comfort zone to do this. I bought him quite a large sword .....now what to do with it ... I like the cardboard part but will cover it with sheets of felt squares that are brown and filigreed.

I like the sword and sheath
u should do a video on shoulder armor with strap to hold it on your shoulder. you can maybe do the straps u did in this video for the sheath and to make it loose or tighter use a helmet strap with the buckle. it would be cool something new
I kinda requested this a long while back on my other account "E6DeltaGirl" lol Thank you for finally making it Will, it's a great project. I would use brown foam all over, and for the accents I'd paint them gold. Also, maybe decorate the tip of the sheath where the point of the sword sits. Love it *thumbs up* :D
ahh sure, E6DeltaGirl! Thanks for the suggestion, and I think brown and gold would be great! thanks
Oh nice. I think i could use it at my Skyrim cosplay. :)
This is so great since I'll be making a teutonic knight cosplay
I'll definitely send pics ¡
These videos are very helpful thanks!
Wow great little project it is really cool!!!!!
I was also wondering when you were announcing the winner of the glass dagger??!??

U inspire me to build swords and sheaths i to am a builder.
Very very good!!!!!!!!.
Fun fact! The sheath for the Iron Sword in the game (Skyrim) is but a small leather loop.
This helped a lot with my real katana
Great video!

This is for a Sentia/SWAT style ShortFilm, BTW.
Could you make a dwarven sword from skyrim pleeaassee? ! Great video btw
Doesn't it just look like a gold iron sword? You could just paint it...
Enkavma Kataigida The dwarven sword has groves on the blade. Its similar but still different.
Would a pants belt (rather a larger size, obviously) Work for around my chest? Im planning on making this along side the elucidator that you built. Cant wait! Subbed and liked!
Please do the forging of a kunai like those of the ninja :D I'd love to see it

i see how this would work if you hung it off your waist (just use a belt) but how would you go about doing it for over the back?
This worked well for my actual roman gladius, would you please help me make a sheath that looks as complete as this one for a sword from the movie 300 i tryed but just cutting a opening in the back so the sword would draw makes it look bad thanks for the great videos i hope you will consider my request
