The diamond weapons and tools in Minecraft are incredibly cool. I’ve made a diamond sword, pickaxe, and a few others…so today I decided to make the diamond axe! All it takes is a printer and a few pieces of cardboard.
Enjoy!

Steps:
- Print out the template.
- Glue together a stack of 2, 3, or 4 layers of corrugated cardboard (I like the thickness of 3 layers).
- Trace or glue Page 1 onto the corrugated cardboard stack.
- Use a utility blade to carefully cut out the shape of the diamond axe.
- Cover all the edges with masking tape.
- Cut the corners of the masking tape and bend each little flap down. See video for a demonstration.
- Paint edges with black craft paint. Allow the paint to dry.
- Cut out the colored pages of the template.
- Glue onto the cardboard axe. Allow the glue to dry completely.
- Flip over and repeat step 8. Allow the glue to dry.
- Enjoy!
