Before everything, just check this little diagram:
We will be doing the "bainha" (scabbard) part.
Materials you will need:
° A sword, to be put into this scabbard. (It will serve as your mold)
° Paperboard
° A fabric to cover it (I've used velvet)
° E.V.A
° White Glue
° Scissors
How to:
First you should draw over the paperboard using the sword you have. This shape should have more 3cm on each border, making it easy to put and draw your sword.
On the paperboard:
You should cut 2 copies of this one. They will be the front and back parts of your sword.
For the borders, cut stripes of the EVA and glue it over the paperboard.
I've used stripes with 1cm.

Now I've cut the velvet using the paperboard as a mold and glued it using the white glue.
I've put the edges inward, like this:
And now you may have two parts, the back and the front of the scabbard:
>Now just glue them together.
And for the best part... Decorate!
You may have this detail on the sides:
And here it is:
I hope it can be of use for someone.
Doubts? Just ask!
