Ideas Anyone??

Me and my boyfriend have decided to dress up as Sweeney Todd and Mrs Lovett for Halloween.
We have the costumes sorted but the Sweeney Todd razor is so expensive to buy.
Any Ideas on how I could make one, because who is sweeney todd without his razors.

You could always sculpt something similar from polymer clay, maybe look for plastic lookalikes in the Halloween shops?

cardboard and silver paint or tap is probably the cheapest way to go about it

I also found this for under $6

Yeah i was just gonna say cardboard. You can even put a brass-paper-fastner (their round & have 2 prong legs, ya know?), in the middle ...then u can flip the blade in & out!

You can also make a meat-pie for ms.lovett out of felt! Heres a project on here: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/sweeney-todd-meat-pie-handbag-d-with-fingers-keyring
