Home Made Star Wars Costumes

Gloves

GLOVES
Materials needed: Jersey gloves, black vinyl, black cloth tape.

Use with these costumes: X-wing pilot, Nein Numb, Rebel dress uniform (General Madine), Imperial trooper, Imperial gunner, Imperial pilot

Try to copy the pattern the best that you can. It measures 15" (39 cm) at its widest point, and from front to back it measures 10" (25 cm). After you have the pattern cut from black vinyl, simply fold it over and tape the edges together with the black duct tape. You will probably need make a small cut on the back of the thumb hole to help you get your thumb through the hole.

Now slip the vinyl piece over your hand.
Next, put on the Jersey glove so that it covers the thumb hole and overlaps the vinyl piece. Repeat for the other side.

You're done! Easy!

Boots

BOOTS
Materials needed: Black vinyl, black cloth tape, black shoes or boots.

Use with these costumes: X-wing pilot, Nein Numb, Rebel trooper, Rebel dress uniform (General Madine), Rebel General uniform (Lando Calrissian), Imperial Officer, Imperial trooper, Imperial gunner, Imperial pilot, Greedo, Bith cantina musician (Figrin D'an).

Try to copy the pattern the best that you can. It measures 19.75" (50 cm) wide and 11" (28 cm) tall. You might need to make it larger depending on the size of your legs, so cut it out of posterboard and try it on before you do any cutting on your vinyl.

Make the boot wide enough to simply slip it over your foot. Attach the two sides of the boot permanently with pop rivets and black cloth tape.

The vinyl pieces are meant to be worn over the top of boots, (not cowboy boots, Hooter) or maybe even black shoes.
That's all for the boots!
