You want them extended or retracted? You can always build them out of foamies which ever

I was gonna have them extended and id just carry it around with me. Btw what are foamies (im such a noob)

foamies come in either a role or sheets, they are a soft foam and are REALLY easy to work with.. I ended up making a shurikan for fun out of foamies.. (wanted a decoration for my wall)
I have to say its reaaaalllly easy to make.

But basically how I made it was, I drew the shurikan first out on paper, then traced it on to a foam sheet, I made 3 layers of the rounded part. and made several blades. (Like 5 or 6)

then I hot glued 2 Layers togeather, then took another layer and hot glued the base of the blades in place, and then hot glued the last layer over the blades and stuck it all togeather
it sounds more complicated as it actually is =P

The three layers...
(you can see the blades hot glued between two layers)

the whole piece
