Today I will show you how to make a PVC light saber.
Things you will need:
at least 3 and a half feet of 1/2in pvc
1ft of "1in" pvc

Red and silver paint
and electrical tape.

I cut the "1/2"in pvc at 39in, feel free to cut it at any length. (Just remember that the light saber starts a foot up)
Paint

Grab a foot of 1in pvc and cut a angle on one of the ends, then paint it grey.
Tape

Decorate your handle however you like.
Then wrap tape around one of the sides of the saber until the handle slides onto it and fits tightly.
Finished!

I made two. After a while of fighting the paint will chip off and you will have to repaint.
