How to Make a Jango Fett Costume
- 1). Cut off the bottom flaps of a medium-sized box. The box should be roughly two feet by two feet in width and height, but can vary based on individual body proportions. The sturdier the cardboard the better the costume will hold up. Paint the box silver, with blue on the sides of the face plates. Cut holes for eyes. With marker or paint, draw the "T" shaped markings across the eye area and down the middle of the face.
- 2). Cut the side panels from a larger box and a hole in the top and sides so the head and arms can fit through. This box should also be of a thick and sturdy cardboard. The height and width should be proportionately larger than the first, roughly 3.5 feet by 3.5 feet. Do not cut the arm circles away completely, cut a semi-circle and leave the strip of cardboard at the top so the strips stay connected to the rest of the box. At the bottom, leave a pointed strip, like an upside down triangle, of the front and back panels. Paint the box silver to resemble armor.
- 3). Create shoulder plates with the semi-circle flaps at the top of the larger box. Crunch the strips with your hands so they bend around the shoulders.
- 4). Cut and glue strips of poster board to create tubing. Secure the tubes around each thigh, calf, bicep and forearm for additional armor. Tape into tubes. Attach the tubes to the clothing underneath with Velcro. A plastic, but futuristic-looking gun should either be holstered to a brown utility belt, or like the character, always at the ready gripped in your hand.
