I will start with two different sizes of PVC pipe I glue the bigger one on top of the smaller. I also cover the holes with EVA foam.

I now cut off about an inch from the top of the tube. I now glue that on the smaller tube about an inch bellow. After that, I cut out a strip of foam and glue it to the very bottom of the smaller tube.

Now it is time to build the key part and the guard. I first start by printing the parts out and tracing them onto the foam. I cut out two pieces of the key part and glue them together. I then do the same thing twice for the guard.

Once all pieces were ready, I glued them on.

Now it´s ready for paint. I first start with plastidip, only spraying it on the foam. Now, once that´s dry I hit it with some silver spray paint . While that´s drying I cut out a Mickey Mouse head and then hook that to a chain. I then sprayed it with silver spray paint.

Once the silver spray paint on the keyblade is dry, I tape off the top of the guard and spray that with yellow spray paint.

Once that´s dry, I use blue paint between the guard and the bigger PVC pipe. I also do the same for the handle, just with black paint.

The last step is screwing the chain to the bottom of the handle!
