Make your own Stormtrooper helmet
Make your own Stormtrooper helmet:
One white bin, electrical tape, black paper, double sided sticky tape, sheer determination.
I made this helmet for a school event. I had a student that said that he could lend me his costume but at the last minute realised that he no longer had it. In a mad panic I had to create my own. I stumbled upon a little white rubbish bin near my office and it looked kinda head size. The rest was pure inspiration. I think I like this more than if someone had given me one. It now sits in pride of place in my lounge room.
Hope you like it.

Wow, what a great design… is it all Sharpie? I wonder how you see out of it, but really, it looks so cool you could just stand still and bask in the adulation

I thought the design worked so well that I couldn’t bring myself to cut holes in it. Posing for photos was most difficult as I couldn’t tell when the picture had been taken. I regret nothing :)

Fantastic! And if you can’t see you’re more likely to bang your head on a sliding door like that Storm Trooper did…

[...] I procrastinate. I embrace it, deal with it, and almost always get by with it. I’ve spent a few late nights and early mornings before conventions finishing props or even whole costumes. So if you haven’t figured our your Halloween costume yet, it’s okay. You still have two whole days, or at least all of Saturday if you have a party that night. The Halloween stores and sections of any store are going to be buzzing and messy though. You might have to go shopping for some basics at the craft store, but at this point, your best bet is to make something at home. Besides all the usual suspects (witches, ghosts, gypsies), you can put together some easy not-so-common costumes with what you have around. Stormtrooper – You can be a stormtrooper without buying or order a custom made helmet. How about recycling milk jugs? Here’s a detailed tutorial on how to make a helmet from empty jugs. If you’re lactose intolerant, here’s basics on making one from a small white trash can. [...]
