Body armor from craft foam

Step 6 Complete the costume.

Use anything else you want on the armor to make it suitable for the occasion to which you are going. I made a face mask and glued it to a hood, but use whatever looks good to you.

Would you be able to paint it???

Get the Krylon paint for bonding with plastic.

Or You can coat it with Plasti Dip for a leather look. And even Plasti dip can be painted with the same krylon paint.

Also If you plan on making stuff out of the 2 mm stuff you may want to add some fabric on the inside to give it strength. Use a spray adhesive.

I think so.

I applaud you for your creativity with low budget materials (i love to go the cheap route first also :) If I may make a suggestion, why not buy a cheap plastic garbage can from your local wal-mart or target and cut out a main base for the front and back piece and then glue the foam onto it. It would give it a more sturdier look, plus you could use some scraps and make it look a little layered. Just a thought, i just think the black parts on top would stand out a little more with a red under layer or something.....great job though :) two thumbs up!
