So I finally started trying to make them look more "swordy" and that's where the trouble began. I read online about covering the blade with foil. I was going to cover the handle with batting and wrap it with electrical tape and that would probably be pretty cool. But then I started thinking..."hmm...the oldest child is 4 and they will probably end up ripping the foil so I'll try duct tape". Let me tell you...that wasn't pretty. First I tried to wrap the tape from the bottom all the way to the top. Didn't work. Then I tried a straight piece all the way up and then where the blade curves I used smaller pieces. Again, didn't work. So I decided to try foil and that was super lumpy and bumpy.
So now I don't know what to do. I thought that maybe I could just paint them, but I don't feel like doing that. So now I'm thinking I'll either keep them black or just buy swords. About a month ago I was at Target and they had foam swords for $1. Guess who said "No, I'm gonna make mine and they'll look way cooler"? Yep, it was me. So today I go to Target and surprise, surprise, no foam swords!!!! ***SIGH*** What should I do? I have to say I'm a little discouraged. Now I don't even want to bother with trying to make the hooks. So that's where I am right now and that's why I haven't posted anything this week. Any ideas?

I think the kids won't care what they look like, they would look like swords so they will think they are super cool. :) Wrapping them in foil and maybe covering it with clear box tape to keep the foil on will do and the batting idea and ele. tape will be fine for the handles. The kids will have lots of fun with them. -M.S.
