Material used:
-paper for template
-vinyl banner thing (see shin guard section for SIDETRACK MOMENT)
-silver spray paint
-black spray paint
-polyurethane protective coating spray
-button cover cap x 8
-chip bag clip x 2
-white glue
-hot glue
-tool belt

Directions:
1- The template was drawn on paper and measurements made.  I have no clue how accurate the proportions are compared with the movie version.  The size looked good and it was all kind of eyeballed.

2- The different pieces were measured and traced on the vinyl banner thing.  After they were cut using a utility knife, the pieces were painted the appropriate color.
DAISNAID:  Make sure you get the right kind of paint for your purposes.  The silver paint I got didn't adhere well to any of the surfaces I applied it to.  It chipped off easily, creating the need for an unnecessary and frustrating touch-up phase.

3- The pieces were glued together with white glue, including the button caps.  When the glue was set, a few coatings of polyurethane were applied for protection and to seal everything together.

4- To finish, the clips were hot glued to the back.  These will clamp on the front of the tool belt when the costume is worn.
