I’ve had this fabric sword tutorial by Simply Homemade pinned on my Kiddos Pinterest board for forever. A few weeks ago we were just having one of those days…you know, a day when everyone just needed a little pick-me-up. I remembered this little tutorial and the kids and I set to work.
You can see the full tutorial HERE.
I loved this tutorial and it was super simple to follow. I did stray just a bit, but it was purely to save myself time.
After I cut out the 6 sword shapes (2 pieces per sword) from the heavy weight interfacing…
I then ironed each piece directly onto the fabric of each wee Kelleys choice. I just didn’t want to trace and cut again and then iron on, so I just ironed the interfacing directly to the fabric…I need to save time any way possible 🙂
Then I cut the swords out.
Once all 6 sword pieces were ironed and cut out…
I added their initials to one side and then sewed the 2 pieces together.
Needless to say, this was the perfect pick-me-up for our day. There has been an endless supply of sword fighting ever since.
Check out the full tutorial HERE…I just included the information for the short cut I took in making them. Time is of the essence around the Kelley house 🙂
Now go make some swords. Happy Tuesday!
PS: Giveaway tomorrow! Yippeee!

So cute! What a great idea! Now, I just need a sewing machine and a little more “craftiness” in my genes! You’re a great momma!
I was so excited when I saw these on your FB page a little while back! My boys LOVE swords (well weapons of any kind really) but they can get a little rough. I think I’m going to make a bunch of these for my almost 3 year olds birthday party. He’s having a Jake (and the neverland pirates) party and I think the moms would be much happier if the guests go home with these instead of the hard plastic ones : )
