How to Make a Paper Lightsaber

Make a Paper Lightsaber

• 1

  Fold the paper in half side to side. Crease and unfold.

• 2

  Fold one side edge in to the center fold and crease the fold. Unfold the fold.

• 3

  Cut carefully along the entire fold line created in Step 2.

• 4

  Fold the new smaller rectangle into equal thirds lengthwise. Crease well.

• 5

  Open out the folds and place the rectangle with the right side of the paper facing up. Fold up from the bottom approximately 3 inches. This fold is creating the handle of the lightsaber so make it as long as you wish it to be. Keep folded.

• 6

  Fold the rectangle again into thirds with the bottom fold in place. Open out the folds and fold in the bottom right corner at a diagonal angle. Refold the folds again and tuck the left corner into the right folded corner. Make all folds sharp.

• 7

  Crease the other end of the lightsaber by folding the corners in to form a point.

• 8

  Fold along the edges of the handle side of the lightsaber to make the handle slightly narrower.

• 9

  Fold along both outer edges of the blade of the lightsaber to make it slightly narrower. Make the very tip of the lightsaber a point by folding it to a point.

• 10

  Make all folds and creases very sharp with your fingernail.

• 11

  Hold the lightsaber gently and very lightly pinch the lightsaber to make it three-dimensional to finish the lightsaber.
