Spartan costume

My senior asked for my help in making his spartan costume for his induction to Urology.

I don't have the luxury of having the appropriate materials for this project since I'm in the hospital.

Here are the materials I used for this project:

Calendar cardboard (or cereAl box card)

Patterns of helmet from http://www.stormthecastle.com/how-to-make-a/spartan-helmet.htm

Patterns of arm varmguard http://www.stormthecastle.com/how-to-make-a/how-to-make-300-spartan-vambraces-armguards.htm

Cutter

Glue gun

Copper gold spray paint

Construction helmet

Maroon cotton (for the cape)

Safety pins

Antique gold jump rings, lobster lock and chain extensions

Garter

I first traced the patterns to the cardboard.

Then i spray painted the cut outs w/ copper gold for both sides.

I also punched 4 holes to the varmguard cut out

VARMGUARD:

I attached the jumprings to each hole with the lobster lock and chain extensions

HELMET

I spray painted an old construction helmet wirh copper gold

Then I glued the cut out around the helmet.

CAPE

I copied the pattern of the cape from http://taeliac.deviantart.com/art/Mini-Tutorial-Quick-300-Cloak-65382461

For the brooch, There's a platic sort of belt in the construction hat, I detached it and spray painted it with copper gold also. Then with use of glue gun, garter, and safety pins, i attached it to the cloak.

Here's the finished product:

Have fun in your induction night! =D
