How to Make a Jedi Belt

[@rjanLvaas]

If you use PLA for 3d printing you can use acetone to smooth out the texture

[@Starzz03]

This was so helpful! I'll definitely be using this for my Mara Jade cosplay :D

[@GraceWillow]

Yay I love Mara That's awesome! Glad this helped you.

[@Jedimanda]

Such a great tutorial! Well done babe!

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you!!!

[@locallemon9323]

Such an awesome video, really helpful. Your content is really coming in handy as I'm currently accumulating ideas for my Sith or Jedi cosplay. Keep up the good work :)

[@XMerribelles]

I need to make a belt buckle for my mandalorian and this was helpful. Thank you!

[@GraceWillow]

You're so welcome! Glad it helped!

[@ComiccollectorGamer]

This Belt is amazing I’ll have to try it sometime

[@aarontrimble7609]

You should make the Han solo belt and holster if you ever decide to do a Han Solo cosplay, since it's so iconic for the look. Also should have started with this but Great work on this belt it looks awesome! and goes so well with cosplay

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you!

[@Jakki_G]

I'm curious to find out what people like more, Jedi or mandalorians

[@GraceWillow]

That's a good question!!

[@aidanviarengo8536]

I was wondering, if I was to heat a piece of foam could I use a scrap piece of leather to put in the texture ?

[@NerdAffiliated]

That tin foil trick! How do you come up with this stuff? That was amazing!

[@GraceWillow]

I saw a few of my cosplay buddies trying it out so I decided to try it too! It's such a neat trick.

[@anthonycronon523]

Great tutorial I'm thinking of doing this for a mondo build instead of a girth belt. Any plans for a tutorial on the Jedi Rodes?

[@GraceWillow]

I'll be posting how I made the robes soon!

[@N8hunna]

can you do a video on how to store cosplays? seems like a good video idea

[@GraceWillow]

I want to do this! I have a few new costumes that need to get stored.

[@TrendyTrenty]

I know this is a bit of an older video, but do you still have the file for the belt buckle? And if so would you be alright with other people using it? 😁

[@aniallator1123]

can you give me the link to the buckle

[@SammiJarrad]

💜 the foil technique!

[@ChrisLeeW00]

Now that's a great belt!

[@rockinHurley777]

How did you make the fabric waist band on the costume?

[@aidanviarengo8536]

What glue did you use to stick the two pieces of foam together?

[@captdan7876]

Ooooooh how cool! How have I not seen this yet!? lol also, is that Jedi Buckle file avail? ;-) asking for a... a me ;-)

[@chriseastty2874]

Hi, I know it's not likely after 7 years, but is there a link to the stl please

[@orionx42]

great video and awesome belt!

[@stevelacroix2917]

Hey, is that 3d file for the buckle available?? If so, where??

[@PyroTurtleGaming]

what type of foam was it made of

[@alsmith1025]

Awesome video. Such an great idea for that charity. Great job!

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you very much!

[@galaticcat7991]

Great tutorial! I will definitely use this for my cosplay. How thick was the foam you used for the main belt? It looks so real!

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you! I use 5-7mm foam!

[@galaticcat7991]

Awesome!! Thank you!! Love your work

[@PinkPortraitDesu]

That texturing with the foam is so cooooool! How did you heat up the foam?

[@GraceWillow]

I used a heat gun to heat up the foam. You can use an eye on your stove too.

[@ragonnichols8450]

I'll be wearing my Rey cosplay!

[@dougalzeb]

Looks awesome! :D

[@chloekipling7274]

What thickness was the foam you used for the belt?

[@GraceWillow]

6mm!

[@chloekipling7274]

@@GraceWillow thanks!

[@ragonnichols8450]

are you wearing it to the rogue one premiere?

[@GraceWillow]

Yess!! That's what I'm making this for!

[@Comiccollector239]

ZonZonZonbi I am going to see the last Jedi Dressed as a Jedi

[@Unicorns]

Awesome! I can tell that you really do enjoy what you do. :)

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you!

[@K3ArtTime]

beautiful!!

[@sammyskhir9817]

Thanks for the video!! Quick question - where did you get foam that long in length? :O

[@GraceWillow]

I actually contact cemented some pieces together if they weren't long enough! I usually get foam from Lowes or Joanns.

[@GraceWillow]

Thank you!!!

[@sammyskhir9817]

ZonZonZonbi ohhhh interesting!! wouldn't have thought of that! though I actually just tried using contact cement for the first time and lost the battle 😂

[@maexeleplexnix4790]

so nice

[@markcarico546]

Just started mine today. I wish I had a 3d printer.

[@mroffice8166]

But I don't have a 3D-printer... 😥

[@Rhyciz]

I don't either, I just cut out a buckle shape using cardboard.

[@MrCdawson17]

Yes, because we all own a 3D printer 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ So annoying when people make DIY videos, then they have everything that costs a fortune to make them.

[@haliebaugher9168]

What about marine life, homeless shelter, orphans.... I dunno...

[@dandadamo4299]

First!

[@dandadamo4299]

I usually don't do that but I've never been first before. I have Jedi Robes and the belt is really bad so this tutorial is great!

[@Jedimanda]

Such a great tutorial! Well done babe!
