Where did you design the template for sting? Which program? How you trace the image and cut the shape piece by piece before printed?

I spent some time looking at images trying to figure out how the pieces should fit together. Then made the basic idea with paper and pen.
Once I thought I had a good rough design, I again used some images that I opened in pixelmator (basic image editor on a mac.. functionally somewhere between mspaint and photoshop) to come up with the outlines that matched my paper design.
I didn’t do any tracing though.. It was strictly designed digitally.
I also made 2 swords. The first one was a test run to see how all the pieces fit together. I then made some minor tweaks to my pattern, and the video shows the second attempt.
