Quick Soldier Costume

This was a last minute costume I whipped up in about two hours for a costume party. The breastplate was the main part. It's one piece of foam cut with a hot knife/woodburning tool. Elevated some parts, sunk some parts in, and held it together with hot glue. The rope/tassels are actually my high school honor student graduation tassels. Bout the best use I'm gonna find for them. Throw in some blankets, a plastic sword, flip-flops, and a facepaint job and we're done.
