How to Make Darth Vader Costume at home?

Necessary List of Supplies

• Plain black T-shirt (if possible long sleeves T-shirt)
• Black Pants or leggings or skirt
• Black Boots or Shoes
• Belt – Black or Grey
• Old black cape or plain black cloth for cape (optional)
• Curtain road or stick (for lightsaber)
• Silver or Grey, Red, and Blue duct tape or Fabric colors 
• Scissors
• Markers – Black, Red, and Blue
• Reference picture or toy of Darth Vader to make costume

Process

• Take plain black T-Shirt.
• We used my daughter’s Darth Vader toy as a reference for making costume.

• As shown in the picture, use the silver / grey duct tape and start decorating the costume.
• Follow the pictures below and stick the duct tapes to the T-Shirt to make Darth Vader costume.

• If you do not have colored duct tape, you can use permanent markers on the duct tape that you have and convert it into the silver, red, and blue duct tape.
• If you do not have duct tapes, you can use fabric colors and paint on the T-shirt.
• Using duct tape is easier and faster way of making this costume.

• To make lightsaber (light saber), use any stick or curtain road or foam stick you have at home.
• You can either paint, color, or stick duct tapes to decorate the stick to make it look like a lightsaber.

• Take big strip of red duct tape and cover about 75% of the stick with red duct tape or red color.
• Cover the rest of 25% of the stick with silver duct tape or color.
• Now use black marker to make stripe design on the silver part of the light saber.
• Now for the Cape, you can use your old black cape of any other costume. Or you can take plain black cloth and attach it to the backside of the T-shirt with stitches or safety pin. Cape is completely optional.
• Wear the decorated T-shirt with cape along with plain black pants or leggings or skirt. Wear plain black or silver belt on your pants.
• Wear black boots or shoes along with the costume to make it look more authentic.

• Creative and fun Darth Vader Costume is ready!

Tips

• If we use duct tape on T-shirt, it will be easier and quicker.
• You can reuse the T-shirt by removing duct tape after the costume is used.
