How to make a Darth Vader costume out of cardboard boxes

Step 3 The Details / Body Part 1

The cape and body:

The next step was making a silver lining for the cape.

I wanted Box Vader to look as though he was wearing a cape so I took my silver material and cut strips to make an outline.

Measure along your front outline to determine how long you need the strips to be, decide how thick you want them then cut and hot glue to front of the box.

The belt:

Then taking a scrap piece of cardboard  draw a circle large enough for a belt buckle & paint black.

While the belt buckle is drying cut yourself an extra piece of silver material like you did for the cape outline & hot glue that piece to the center of the belt buckle once dry.

Hot glue belt buckle to the center of the bottom piece of your pattern like shown in picture.
