I've always been fascinated by medieval knights and their beautiful armor, so tried making myself armor out of paper (since its not expensive). Share a tutorial on how to make a very simple but fun toy - a Mid-World helmet, which every real knight needs. Are you guys a little wary of this cool helmet? Prepare the cardboard and follow the illustrated steps below to give it a try! ~
Material Tools
Glue/double-sided tape
Pencil
Cutter
2 (large) double foot nails
Printer
Ordinary printing paper
Silver metallic matte cardboard – minimum size: 42 x 30 cm
Gold metallic matte cardboard – minimum size: 42 x 30 cm
1. Print the template on plain paper, the complete helmet only includes 4 parts. Download address: [Download helmet production drawings]
2. Use the 100% printed template and cut along the solid lines to get: sides, top, and mask.
3. These are the three cut parts.
4. Pick up the side panel and it looks like a helmet after gluing! It’s great!
5. Then pick up the top plate and glue it to the top of the helmet.
6. Use double foot nails to install the mask, and use gold cardboard to make flower patterns.
7. The fleur-de-lis, which was very popular in the medieval period, was affixed to the top of the helmet.
8. Paste handsome "little wings" on the lower part.
9. Completed, that’s it! So simple! Become a great knight...
10. The legendary medieval helmet, doesn’t it look majestic when worn?
