Get your templates cut out first.

Cut out x2 of Template B and x1 of template A from Mounting board.(Left picture)From the second picture,you can see the difference in templates A and B.

From a piece of wooden plank,saw out these wooden pieces.(Measurements are shown above)

Sand them down using sandpaper so that they are smooth on all sides.

Hot glue the wooden sticks this way.(Refer to picture) 
Repeat this step on both sides of template A.

Prepare templates B and D and hot glue it down on both sides of template A.Paste it with silver tape once this step is done.Use a flexible plastic ruler to help you with the pasting. 

Cut out the eva foam piece and paint around 2 layers of white glue over it.leave it to dry.Spray paint it maroon and hot glue it down to the blade of the naginata.

The white glue prevents spray paint seeping into the foam. 

With the 20mmx15mm PVC socket, (I have sprayed everything before that) and hot glue the rubber ring at the conjunction where the two points meet in the socket.

Take template E,hot glue the 3 pieces of it together.It should fit nice and tight at the 15mm PVC socket.

Cover the hilt’s sides with jumping clay.Leave it to dry.
Cover the hole of the 15mm PVC socket with jumping clay till it reaches the brim.

Paint a few layers of white acrylic paint to the hilt.and spray paint it maroon.

Once the previous step is done,push the blade into the pipe.Leave the clay to dry. Hot glue the 3 pieces of items together.They should be stable.

This is how the naginata should look like for now when you connect the parts together.

Take the 17cm long PVC pipe,with the strawberry shaped jumping clay,(Shape the clay out)push it onto the pipe,and let it dry.Once its dry,paste it over with brown paper and spray paint it maroon.
Brown paper hardens and strengthens the soft clay.

(I sawed all the PVC pipes down to the length I am satisfied with.)

Prepare the 110cm PVC pipe and decorative items

(Top part sprayed with maroon & bottom,black)

Shape a ring around the point where the black and maroon colour are separated.Leave it to dry and paint it maroon.

You can get maroon coloured paint by mixing red,light blue,black and gold.

Remove the back part of the buttons using a screwdriver by applying force and pressure onto it.(Refer to picture)Next,hot glue the buttons onto the blade.

And you’re done!
