We’ve already established that I’m a fanatic for anything in miniature. Incidentally, I also have a closet fascination with interesting pish pins. Combine the two and give the project a dose of “Kill Bill” movie inspiration and you’re left with these samurai sword push pins by Jeromina at Paper, Plate, and Plane. (Wouldn’t they make a great companion project to go with today’s voodoo doll tutorial??) She used faux metal contact paper to make her blades, which is a little pricey but has a zillion awesome uses so it’s worth the splurge. For slightly cheaper, you can also use the foil tape made for use on heating ducts. [how to make samurai sword push pins]
Project estimate:
- Paperclips, on hand
- Paper, on hand
- Foil tape, about $8
- Electrical tape, on hand or $1
- Glue, on hand
Total: $8 and up

My six year old would love these! I’m thinking they’d be a fun addition to our corkboard showing off school work {a little contrast between the ABC fabric and bloody swords ;) }. Thanks for sharing!
