Caution: Large File!

So here it is! My Captain America Original Shield tutorial.
I had a bunch of requests for it, and after much procrastination, I finally got around to it. Sorry! DX

I really hope it helps. Please send me a photo of you and/or your shield if you use it, or if you make another prop or shield with the same technique! I would really love to see all of your epic pieces!

Thanks again everyone!

Could you go a little more in depth with the hooking and the straps on the back?

the hooks are literally just little squares of plastic with a slit cut in them, then there's a bent piece of metal pushed through that holds the ring in place. As for the straps, I just made long enough so they could be a backpack, and sewed buckles on, then tied knots at the length I wanted D:

I'm sorry but what kind of metal and plastic did you use. I don't really have alot of time to research this or money to waste on it.

It was literally just scrap plastic from the bottom of a bag and small cut aluminum. So.. it cost nothing. You could probably find stuff around your house. As for the metal keyrings, you can find those pretty much anywhere.

You are generating ideas for a round shield built based on the same idea.... just what I needed, another project.

Hahhaa. Yes! Actually melting the round shield would be very very easy! I just definitely wanted mine out of spun aluminum.

Please show me your round one if you do make it! I want to see!!
