This is the second part of my Darth Vader costume tutorial, showing how to make the belt and codpiece.

When you’re wearing it, you’ll tie on the codpiece first, and then fasten the belt over that. The belt I used has texture on it, because that was the only thing I could find in the local second hand shop, but if you can find a smooth belt, will look more like the one Darth Vader actually wore in Star Wars.

The little silver circles I found in JoAnn Fabrics, and they’re self-adhesive, so very convenient even though the tops are domed instead of flat like the ones on the real Darth Vader costume.

The black spray paint I used was actually called black lacquer, and it gives an extra shot of black gloss more like on the real Darth Vader costume than standard black spray paint. I found it in Lowes.
