Sauron Costume Tutorial part 3: Body Armor, gloves, chain mail

An old knitted blanket, some craft foam, and duct tape will get you chain mail, armor, and movable gloves to finish your Sauron costume.

Sauron Costume Part 3

This tutorial is the 3rd and final part of the Sauron costume how-to. If you missed the previous parts you can watch the mace tutorial here and the helmet tutorial here.

The chain mail in this costume didnโ€™t work out quite as well as Iโ€™d hoped. The fabric sucked up the spray paint making it appear grey instead of silver, but since itโ€™s mostly covered by foam armor, it doesnโ€™t show that much. If you wanted the chain mail to look more metallic, try spraying the knitted blanket with some spray enamel before painting it silver.
