Make your own Boba Fett Gauntlets out of CARDBOARD!

[@Lunamatrixx]

It’s been two years now, and my opinion on your craftsmanship and creativity still hasn’t changed. The fact that you’re able to take some ordinary everyday cardboard and turn it into literally anything you put your mind to is “board”er line incredible and it also goes to show you how talented you are! You may not recognize me, because I’ve had a branding change, but I’m that “SOLAR FLARE PRODUCTIONS” guy from those couple of years ago that appeared in your “BB-8” video in the form of a shout-out!

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Of course I remember you! That's so nice of you, thank you for supporting my channel all this time! It means a lot. 🙂🙏

[@Green4Kareen]

You should totally make Boba Fett’s knee armor and jet pack, just to complete the costume. I really enjoy watching your videos, they are so creative and really help me when I’m making my own costume. Stay cool.

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Thanks for the suggestions Karen! The Jetpack is on my to do list already, just a matter of time :)

[@mr.wolf-apex8379]

@@EpicCardboardProps quick question, do you use thick cardboard or did you by any chance use two layers of cardboard? What I mean is when you cut out some certain templates do you cut out another identical one and glue it on top of it?

[@EpicCardboardProps]

@@mr.wolf-apex8379 I use the thickness that is mentioned on the templates, usually it goes from 0,1 mm to 0,5 mm. But of course if you don't have a 0,5 mm thick cardboard for instance, you can double the pieces using 0,2 mm cardboard, it should work just fine :)

Boba Fett Jetpack is on my to do list already, but I don't know I'll be able to make it! That being said Mando's Jetpack I made is very similar... If you put the exhaust pipes on the sides instead of at the bottom and if you can manage to add the rocket on the top, you'll have pretty much a Boba Fett one :)

[@braydenmanning5753]

Decided to make one of these for my kid for christmas, didnt want to splash money on foam or thousands on a true helmet. Bought a crappy helmet online and its horrible, so this video has literally saved my kids christmas. Thanks for this tutorial. Just wondering, you got any videos or photos of these cool props after being painted? Bought some acrylics and wondering if you've got some tips?

[@EpicCardboardProps]

That's so cool Brayden! Glad I could help! Well cardboard is not a good material when it comes to that part unfortunately... so you have to be aware that painting it is gonna make all the imperfections much more visible, (That's the reason why I don't paint them), that being said I'm quite demanding with my props, maybe too much lol. But if you want to paint it I recommend you to use acrylic paint as it is a thick and opaque type of paint as opposed to water based paint that will soak the cardboard leading to very poor result 😉

You should make a little cardboard chain mail shirt for your baby yoda.

[@SupernautCosplay]

Very good tutorial! :) Tell me, can I do this using EVA foam? 5mm thick?

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Thank you! If you know what you're doing when it comes to work with foam I think you can, but you definitely have to adapt a few steps along the way using tools and techniques that suit foam better 🙂

[@NocturnalAnimations101]

btw is it necessary to use the double corrugated cardboard? Can we use the singular one?

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Well it has to be the same thickness anyway, but if you see in the tutorial that I don't use the separation wall in the middle for some of the part (for instance when I remove the first wall on some areas to make some designs...) then yes you can use a single wall cardboard. But as I said it as to be the same thickness as the double wall one, the thickness of the cardboard always plays a very important role in my builds!

[@carnage9184]

Dude they are awesome!, ever considered spray painting the props

[@EpicCardboardProps]

Thanks Carnage ! If I don't paint them it's because cardboard is not a good material when it comes to that part unfortunately, like at all... Painting them would make all the imperfections much more visible, and they would end up looking like crafts made by a young child lol to a certain extent... besides If I wanted to paint them to make perfect replicas, I would simply use different materials like EVA foam, resin, plastic or even wood, the result would be a way better and the work easier too. but of course it wouldn't be aligned with the topic of this channel which is making props using cardboard only! :)

[@EpicCardboardProps]

The trick to cut very small pieces is to use a VERY sharp tool, a precision knife with a brand new blade should do the job fine. You can also use a circle cutter, if you want circle that are even better, but it won't work for the tiny ones like 0,5 mm or something thought.
