![]() The gloves were super easy too! I bought 2 squares of white felt and sewed it into a tube, then flipped it inside out so the stitches didn’t show. I hot glued 1 inch wide elastic to make straps so I could wear them and the elastic provides a little give in case someone walks into your wings (which happened a lot lol) I did have to make sure that I had room to walk and turn around though – or I ended up taking them off and on as needed. Ta da!!! I’m so proud of these wings! They look pretty darn good for being cardboard and they weren’t too difficult to wear at work. Then start painting! I did 2-3 coats of each color to get the coverage I wanted. The design isn’t very difficult and I traced very lightly. ![]() Once the pieces are dry – shouldn’t take more than an hour – I drew Buzz’s jetpack design onto the wings. I did two light coats on both sides and made sure to cover up the CB2 logo and I made sure to spray the edges too. Set up your spray station – I propped each piece on top of the caps of the spray paint bottles I had. ![]() Now the fun part! Spray painting! □ I sprayed both sides with Kilz No Odor Primer in white. I ended up cutting the center piece two more times to make it smaller because it was kinda looking like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle shell. Then I binder clipped the pieces together to see how they looked. I cut out one wing, then flipped it over and traced it onto another piece of cardboard so both sides would match. I sketched out the rough shape and cut them out with an Exacto knife. For the wings, I got this giant CB2 box from my friend –Īnd then I stared at many reference images of Buzz’s jetpack on Google images. It was so much fun to dress up for work and all my coworkers loved it too! I only made the gloves and wings for the costume, everything else was bought.
