What is the main thing in the image of Thor? His famous hammer. Let's start with him.
Making a hammer
The main problem with most hammer materials is their weight. The child will surely get tired of carrying a massive thing, for example, made of wood. With our hammer, there will be no such problems, because it is practically weightless.
To make the main attribute of Thor's costume, we need:
- Floral sponge.
- Cut of plastic pipe.
- Newspapers.
- Glue.
- Tape for wrapping the handle.
- Silver spray paint.
- Masking tape.
Step by step instructions:
- Cut the floral sponge from the sides, giving it the shape of a hammer.
- Since the sponge itself is very soft, easily wrinkled and crumbled, the structure must be strengthened. In engineeringpapier-mâché glue the sponge with pieces of newspapers in several layers and leave to dry completely.
- Make a hole, insert a piece of pipe into it. Secure with masking tape.
- Cut out a circle from thick cardboard and glue it on the side opposite from the handle.
- Paint the hammer with silver paint.
- Wrap the handle with tape. At the end, for convenience, we make a loop.
- Our super light but formidable hammer is complete.
We are preparing a Thor costume for children, but the hammer will look quite adult.
