DIY Count Dooku Lightsaber (Star Wars) - Cheap and Easy Cardboard

Count Dooku had one of the more unique lightsabers due to the curved hilt. You only see a few of these in the Star Wars universe, and I think it was the only curved hilt to appear in any of the movies. I'll show you how to construct this one cheaply out of mostly cardboard. Had requests for this from Herobrine GamingTM Darth Clash, MineMAK95, and Noelle.
The distressed studs I used were just some I had left over from my Starlord jacket (   • How to Make a Star Lord Costume Jacke...  ), but paper fasteners would work equally well there. And for the black lines, I used electrical tape, so they'd be precise. But you can just paint on the black lines if you prefer.
