Materials:
Aluminum Tin Metal
Heavy Duty Clippers
Tape Measure
Jeans
Glue Gun with Fabric Glue
Cereal Bowl
Time:
1-2 Hours
Difficulty:
Medium/Hard
Shin: 5 1/2" tall x 4" wide
Knee: About the size of the bottom of a cereal bowl or 4" x 4" with metal flaps on side
Thigh: 4" tall x 5 1/2" tall
Step 3: Now you will want to lay all of your armor pieces out and contour your shin and thigh pieces to match your knee piece by cutting out half circles on the bottom of the thigh piece and the top of the shin piece. Pictured below
Step 4: Now that our armor is all done, you need to put on your pants to mark the exact positioning for your armor. The most crucial piece will be the knee piece which must go on the bottom half of your knee so you can bend freely. Mark the position with a fabric marker or sharpie and then place the shin and thigh piece above and below accordingly allowing enough room in between so they do not overlap or clash when your legs move.
VOILA! YOU'RE DONE!
im in love iwth this.i wana try this in fact.. can the glue gun be able to hold up with the jeans?
ReplyDeleteor i should use a fabric glue also?
You just need to buy the kind of glue for your glue gun that works on fabric!
ReplyDeleteIs it anti rust? Just wondering about washing them! Otherwise this looks awesome (:
ReplyDeleteThey definitely aren't washable (at least not machine washable). If you want to wash them I would recommend using velcro to attach the metal pieces so you can remove the armor plates easily.
ReplyDeleteUmm yeah, so I love this... just a few days ago I blogged about how much I was in love with the Acne army jean... and here I am browsing and there they are, but only homemade... which is much better... I would love to add your creation to my blog. Don't worry no one visits me anyway and if they do they see your awesome-ness... ok, ok... Im off to home depot to get my supplies.
