hey, least you have the main steps down.
1) always remember to draw at least a little out before or during your work, so it makes it easier for the next time/mistakes.
2) the trick to most props is layers layers and yes.. more layers. I cant tell you how many cardboard "quickies" ive made with cardboard and hotglue and a lil paint and a whole lot of TLC that turned out great, even Helmets.
Bravo on your work, it looks exceptional.

one word: eBay.com lol
j/k
I remeber someone using one of the thick-ish crayola kiddie markers for the handle, spraying it and then maing the top part of the kunai outta something felxible/hard and painting it so it looked shiny/metal etc and then taping it together then wrapping some gauze around the handle or w/e tp make the "bandage look thing". It's good if you wanna make it cheap and fast XD
Good luck!

I was using your tutorial to make a shuriken last night and all went according to plan except that I found that when I tried to cut away the overflow of hot glue (after smoothing with a straight edge) the glue would get a ragged edge. is there a particular method you use for that?

the best way to cut hotglue isan't to saw at it but to start at the base of the blade and pull down and move forword in one motion it'll give you a clean stiaght cut also try using the hot tip of the glue gun to smooth out any lumpyness
finely if thiers just alittle bit a fine sandpaper can work on glue

Also can use a heat gun to get rid of some of that extra stuff  I was making a papermache helmet and had to remove a part i hot-glued on, just turned up the heat gun and pulled that section off. |

Thanks for this awesome tutorial, I just made a kunai of my own and it looks great so far - I still have to sand the edges and paint it. However I used the pattern up top and I found that the red pieces were too thin and didn't quite reach the middle of the blade. Instead it left about a .5cm gap in the middle that got thinner towards the top and bottom that I had to fill with hot glue (side note: hot glue is evil). I drew up a quick pic to illustrate what I'm talking about : http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...ophine/gap.jpg
Did I put the pieces together wrong or is the pattern too thin?
