My friend is having an American themed 21st party
on the 4th of July and so I have decided to go as a female version
of Captain America.
I wanted a costume that I could make for very little money
as I’m struggling for money at the minute. I have bought a royal blue dress,
red gloves and American coloured socks all for £6.00 off eBay. I am making the
shield out of cardboard and paints that I found around our house.
First off I had to find four different circular objects in
which I could draw around for the different sized circles on the shield. I used
various plant pots and plates.
Once I had cut out four different sized circles, I had to
paint them red, blue and white. I used some children’s paint that I found which
wasn’t very good and so I had to add lots and lots of coats onto it.
I tried drawing and cutting out a star shape for the center
of the shield but failed dramatically. I had to then wait for my mum to get
home to help me draw a star! Hahaha. Here’s my rubbish attempt:
Once my mum helped me draw a star, I glued all the pieces
together and placed a heavy book ontop of it for a while to ensure it stayed
together well. After this I cut out a small strip of cardboard for the handle.
I glued and taped the handle onto the back of the shield.
This was my final result. I was pleased with it in the end
because it cost me nothing and it worked relatively well! Let’s just hope it doesn’t
fall apart before the party!!
