![]() ![]() So stick the marker into the first finger you will work on, the pointer. You can use anything that is the right size for you. I used an old paint marker to stick in my glove and simulate a finger while I worked. Maybe you’ll be able to find a pair of gray gloves. Mine were originally black so I had to spray-paint them gray. Now get out your hot glue gun and gloves. On the D3s just give them a soft bend so they wrap onto your finger. Using the ruler give your D4s a nice clean bend, making them into sharp claws. Once everything is dry, do a little shaping to your D3s and D4s. At this point it is very important that you keep all your D1’s together and not lose track of them as the paint is about to cover up any marks you made to distinguish them!Ĭongratulations, you’ve done all the tedious stuff!!! Now that that is done, when your finger and hand pieces are dry, flip them all over and paint them along with the top of your arm guard. For myself, I just eyeballed it and free-handed the design with a pencil, then drug my blade across, with no pressure to score the foam. Maybe a better idea would be to run your pencil down the lines of the pattern, therefore creating an indent in the foam that you can then carefully score using the knife? You’ll have to see what works for you. Just be careful you don’t cut through the foam. You can then make them deeper if you want to. To get the design on the foam wrist guards, I would recommend placing the pattern back on top of your foam piece and gently running your knife down the lines so that it makes them in the foam. Then take your X-acto knife and cut it out. Take your 2mm foam and trace the pattern for the arm guard onto it with a pencil. ![]() The patterns for these things is below! (these are made for someone of my size, so you may have to print it out bigger) I designed my own arm guards, fixed up one of the finger pieces (it wasn’t straight), and added another piece to the hand plates. Prototype a bunch and you should find a sweet spot!Īs great as this pattern was, I had to make a few changes. Just remember, a lot of these pieces get smaller when you do all the bending to them. You’ll just have to print out a few different sizes, cut them out and try it. I’m a 5’3” tall woman, just to give you a reference. To fit me, I had to print out the pattern at 65% for the hand pieces and (for whatever reason) 70% for the finger pieces. If you know, or it belongs to you, let me know so I can credit the rightful owner!) it does not belong to me. The first thing you need to do is print out the pattern and cut out all the pieces!īelow is a downloadable pattern! I found this pattern somewhere online, (I can't remember where, sorry. ![]()
