No-sew
Products you’ll need (2)
Materials
- One white kids top
- One white kids bottom
- Black iron-on vinyl or black electrical tape
- Iron
- Black gloves (or Stormtrooper accessory gloves)
- White rain boots
- Optional: Stormtrooper helmet (if you don't want to DIY the Stormtrooper's mask)
For the mask
- Cardboard
- White paint
- Black paint
- Elastic band
Instructions
For the outfit detail
- If you have a Cricut cutting machine, you can purchase the cut file on Etsy for a few dollars to cut out the black vinyl. Then, iron on the vinyl to the chest, elbows and knees.
- If you don't have a Cricut, this can easily be done by cutting the vinyl by hand and then ironing to the shirt and pants. Another quick option could also be to use black electrical tape.
For the mask
- Make the Stormtrooper's mask from a sheet of cardboard and wear it flat over the face. Cut the cardboard rounded on top, and tapered out on the sides like the helmet.
- Paint it white and use black paint to paint the eyes, horizontal line across the forehead, and upside down "V" shape at the nose.
- Glue an elastic band to the sides to fit comfortably around the head.
- Alternately, you can purchase a Stormtrooper helmet.
For the assembly
- Dress your kiddo in our Primary essentials, gloves, rainboots, helmet, and your fierce little Stormtrooper is ready to go!
