Making Your Own: Sword, Cutlass or Knife

Alrighty, here comes the really fun homework: making your character a homemade sword, cutlass or knife. Which you make will depend on your character. What do you use in the stage fights? What has the script called for? What would you carry for work and survival each day?

- Lost Boys and Pirates: need a sword for the sword fight on the pirate ship. Peter and Hook do not need to provide a sword for this fight.

- Lost Boys: many of you need a knife to carry at your belt.

- Pirates: the iconic pirate weapon is the curved cutlass.

- Peter: carries a knife at all times.

- Indians: some need weapons.

Step 1: research costume cutlasses, swords and knives online and in productions of Peter Pan.
Step 2: determine what your character needs.
Step 3: create your own design or use the following link to get started. This link shows a sword that looks more Medieval than Peter Pan, but you could curve yours to create a cutlass, make it smaller to create a knife, leave off the tin foil, and personalize yours with craft paint or spray paint.
