Create A Roman Soldier Costume

I was planning a determinate naked truth that called upon 4 stout roman soldiers to manage a glamour star on all sides of on a throne. Spruce up the helmet by adding your own plume. the first-hand centurions would acquire had lion mane for a helmet accent however you can predispose along worthy with coloured conduit cleaners or faux feathers. Blameless blazing glue them on to the store-bought helmet. You will probably also need to beef up the helmets strapping system.



To receive maximum conclusion while putting minimal extent of chicamin into the costume your going To possess to situate in some sweat fairness. Pride a acceptable costume shop locally or online and acquire the cheap plastic helmet and chest armour. as I commemoration I was able to outfit Everyone soldier with his armour for less than 15 bucks.


2. These days comes the artistic creation. My budget didn't remit for the rental of 4 subject roman soldier costumes. So this is how I did it.

Instructions

1. Mine came with those decapitatingly-thin strings. use faux leather to make a proper strap.


3. Your undergarment will be an oversized T-shirt. make sure it hangs mid thigh.


The store bought chest plate needs some help. Make a short cape out of the cheapest red material (try to match your helmet plume)you can find. The shoulder decorations serve to hide the t-shirt look of the t-shirt. secure both to the chest plate itself so that your soldier puts it on as one piece.


4. Your leather skirt, arm-bands and shin-guards will be made of faux leather. It is easy to find in any half rate fabric store and is cheap. The stuff I got had a cottonish fuzz on the back.


Cut your skirt to fit the wearer and slice places for a cheap leather belt to thread thru it. close the skirt up by sewing or velcroing. Velcro is best for the wrist bands and shin-guards as well. you want it to be easy to get on and off. The flip flops or cheap sandals are hidden somewhat by the shin-guards.
