How to Make a Skeleton Knight Costume Sword & Shield

My kids have figured out that if they need something for a costume, a project needing done, they know who had the supplies....me.  So when my son wanted to be a knight, but not just a knight a skeleton knight, we needed to make a sword and shield.  I can do that!

First was the sword, I used cardboard as the base to put the whole thing together.

Here is a video on how I made the sword.

I love how the bling works on the hilt, really make the whole thing pop!

Next came the shield, still using cardboard as a base.

Here is a video on how I made the shield.

I used a star in the middle to be the focal point for the shield and kept all the colors consistent.

Now here is my son being goofy and having fun during the photo shoot.
