Material used:
-plastic salad bowl x 2
-red spray paint
-silver spray paint
-polyurethane protective coating
-hot glue
-1" webbing strap
-velcro
-polyester elastic

Directions:
1- A center line was found on the bowls and lines traced to go from the center at the edge of the opening to the edge of the flat part of the bottom.  Three "wedges" were cut using scissors.

2- Two pieces were painted red and one was painted silver.  When the paint was dry, a few layers of polyurethane were applied.
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 three sections were hot-glued together.  An elastic was added to secure it to the arm and a length of strap added to loop around the suspender pad and armor, attaching to itself using velcro.
