It looks fantastic lit up in the dark! The red LED from the littleBits power bit make the sword look like it's powered by redstone which was an added bonus. My son was way too excited to play with the sword. With more time and effort you could make another sword template and attach to the back to conceal the littleBits Power bit. We secured the battery and Power littleBit at the back of the cardboard sword using some clear tape. It naturally curls up, so we didn't need to secure the wire in any way. Using the littleBits Power and Light Wire*, we wrapped the Light Wire around the whole sword. Our sword was ready, to add the glow-in-the-dark fun.
#MINECRAFT SWORD HOW TO#
How to make a Minecraft Diamond Sword with LittleBits Even with the two layers of card the sword was still too floppy, so we duct taped a sturdy plastic rod at the back. Spreading the cardboard with white PVA glue, my son, copied a picture of the Minecraft sword, colouring it in. We used what we had in the craft cupboard, so a mixture of felt (the black) and foam (blue).

We then used the same 1 x 1 block template to cut out the colour squares, making the pixel design of the sword.

I cut the shape out of packaging card (I used two layers). It was fairly simple making a 1 x 1 square and clicking together to make the shape. We used an image of the Minecraft Diamond Sword to make a template out of paper.
