Star Wars Han Solo Belt Gun Holster

Here is a cheap and easy way to make an awesome Han Solo Gun Holster. My fiance and I are going to be Leia and Han for Halloween and his costume would not be complete without the signature Han Solo Gun Holster. I am a big Star Wars fan but this belt is not exactly to spec, I made some "creative" changes.

Materials:

2 Sheets of Craft Foam
Low/Variable Heat Glue Gun
Silver and Black Acrylic Paint
Metal Snaps
Two Metal Coat Hangers
Overall Buckles (2)
Brown Thread and Needle
Scissors
Paper and Pen
Someone to make it for (you'll want correct measurements)

Step 1 Buckles

First you need to determine how large the front and rear buckles need to be. I made this holster for an adult male so the buckles were:
Front: 2.75" tall 4.25" wide (at points)
Rear: 2.5" tall and a little more than 3" wide for the rear
I first created a paper template to judge size and for easy cut out on the craft foam.
Both buckles were made out of the brown foam.

Wow, nice job on this! I am definitely doing this one of these days. I was searching around for a good gun belt for my costume, and this is just perfect! I just have to sew the holster on the left side, because I'm left handed. Not to mention I LOVE Star Wars. :D

Oh man you have no idea how much of a life saver you are. I have a sci-fi-themed costume party I'm going to tomorrow, but I lost track of time and just now remembered I need a costume, and this was JUST the pat I'm missing! Thank you!

The Han Belt!!! So you can shoot first too!!!!

Maybe because of R2-D2, and C3-PO. They may not be his but he always has them nearby.

Nah it's a droid caller, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Droid_caller , although yeah I'm not sure why Han has one. Luke and the Jawas have them in this film too.

I like the project. Your droid caller may actually be tuned to felines-glad you kept that shot in the build.

Great job. It looks really nice.

It's not a droid caller it's a comlink. Nice instructable by the way.

Where's Han's blaster? Great instructable! I was thinking of making a Han costume, and now I got the best part down!
