DIY Raven Costume Belt - Teen Titans DC Raven - How Make a Cheap and Easy Raven Belt

Описание: If you need a bright, shiny belt for a DIY Raven costume, give this one a try. It's quick and easy to make, and anytime I wear it out somewhere, everyone thinks it's real metal until I flip it over and show them it's just cardboard. For the birds on this belt, I cut them out of craft foam because it's flexible which makes it easier to cut out the small details. However, you can also use 2 thicknesses of cardboard if you prefer; it's just a bit more difficult to cut out.
This belt cost me about $2 to make, as the foil and craft foam were the only items I purchased, and the small pieces I used on this belt came out to around $2 in cost.
The cardboard I used was free, the beads were given to me by a relative, the gold paint came from a relative, the yarn was an end of skein scrap, and the plastic gems were from a bulk assortment I'd purchased years ago and have used for many costumes.

This tutorial is part of the full Raven costume tutorial from my new book: COSPLAYING WHEN YOU'RE BROKE, which shows how to make awesome costumes without breaking the bank. Cosplaying When You're Broke is available on:
