Your little antagonist will be super comfy in our Primary essentials. The neighbors will Marvel at your crafting skills!

For the chest plates:

  • Cut two chest plates from paper plates and paint them silver. Set aside to dry.

For the vest:

  • Lay a sheet of 9x12 inch black felt over the top and cut out shoulder and waist straps from the mustard yellow felt. Lay in place.
  • Cut a black belt from felt and two smaller rectangles for the “belt loops”. Cut two black felt straps for the waist straps and two straps for the shoulders.
  • Glue three strips of green ribbon to each shoulder strap.
  • Glue all the straps, belt loops, and belt to the main rectangle of felt.
  • Glue the chest plates to the top of the vest piece.
  • Flip the vest and tee over to the back and glue the straps on the back to another 9x12 sheet of black felt.
  • Cut the back piece up the center for an opening and glue a felt strip along one edge for extra room to secure the vest around the torso. Use fabric tape or safety pins to secure.

For the thigh pouch:

  • Cut two matching long black felt rectangles. Hot glue 3 edges together and glue a smaller flap at the top. Cut two matching lengths of black elastic and hot glue to the black rectangle to fit over the thigh.
