How to Make a Toy Soldier Costume
- 1). Color match your spray paint to your face paint. This is the most crucial part of your costume. Perfectly matched paint will give you the uniform look on a toy army man. Spray a variety of paints on a piece of cardboard, then allow to dry. Compare the colors to the color of your face paint, and choose the paint that is the best match.
- 2). Attach the boots to the skateboard deck using a drill. Drill through the sole of the boot into the wood of the deck. The length of screw needed will depend on the height of your boots. Make sure the boots are attached wide enough apart to be comfortable. You have now created the plank for your toy soldier costume (as seen in the picture). Moving around like this will be challenging, but not impossible. It's like maneuvering uphill on a snowboard.
- 3). Coat all aspects of your costume with spray paint. This includes your boot-plank combo, clothing, helmet and toy gun. You need to do two coats for the best effect. Allow everything to dry.
- 4). Get dressed before applying the green face paint, so as to prevent you getting makeup all over your costume or other people. Starting with your face, apply an even layer of green face paint to your face, neck, hands, arms and any other exposed areas.
