I ended up making a new buster sword for my Cloud cosplay, so why not a REAL tutorial to go with it this time!?

For the Materia, if you follow how I did the core, use one of the sizes in this pack of Ornaments, or try looking for ones that fit correctly. I can't seem to find any for just one size anymore:

For the cross guard details, I used DIY metal buttons, but they were a pain to paint. Do something else. Maybe use foam balls and cut them down? I don't know.
