How to make Cardboard Armour

Make a unique and cool cardboard armour costume by up-cycling an old sweater. This cardboard armour costume is comfortable to wear for the kids and they love it. My kids had me make them this armour for their Mandalorian and Boba Fett costumes for Halloween. They had so much fun painting the cardboard armour and helmet to look like their favourite Mandalorians.

Check out the website to read more about the armour and purchase a template. Which includes the template, written and illustrated instructions. As well a walk through video of the build.
