Make a He-Man Shield with Cardboard

What's up everybody this is ultimate 616 welcome back. This is another DIY project using cardboard, so let's get to it All right, so you're gonna need just a very little bit of hot glue some red some silver spray paint just a little bit of masking tape a marker a Ruler and these velcro straps here. I actually got these at The hardware section at Walmart, and you can get them at Meijer to you if you live here in Michigan And you're also gonna need just a little Actually a lot a bit of white glue, so you're gonna need one of these big round pizza servers An old ish or older or it don't matter Cooking tray for your pizza Little bottle cap and a bowl. I promise we're gonna be making something. We're not actually gonna be doing dishes, so Yeah, try not to get hungry while you do this project either you are gonna need some cardboard this right here As you can see is a old TV box my wife, and I went Black Friday shopping We just got a brand new TV, and so what I'm gonna be using here is double corrugated cardboard it's thicker and it's a little bit stronger than your regular cardboard and Yeah, this shield should last a little bit longer than Average cardboard prop it's the first thing you want to do is take your masking tape and round off the edges of all your dishes here the the pizza server the the pizza cooker and Your bowl to see that that way because you're getting ready to use your marker and all you're gonna do for this big one Try to situate it so you can use the most area You take your marker And you do that You just trace out You should have a nice dark ring and all you want to do is you can connect the circle with your pizza tray Just like that And you're gonna do that three times. I've got my three circles Now pick one it doesn't have to be any one specific what you're gonna Do is with that third one whichever one you pick One that's easiest for me to see right now is this one is I want to try to get it spaced right in the center Which that actually looks pretty good You want to take your marker? And you want to just take your your smaller pizza your cooking tray And what you're gonna. Do is you're just gonna trace just the inside once. It's nice and centered Same exact thing and you're gonna do the same thing for your bowl as well So once you get that marked out center your bowl as best you can X looks pretty good And we'll go from there, so it's a little hard to see from that angle But from here what I did was I took a ruler. This is a two-inch gap And I just connected the inside circle to the second circle here And I did that all the way around it at once Twice you can't see this one. Maybe It was just very small. That's the third time and the fourth time right here Basically just made a cross shape in the middle and the only thing you're gonna. Do is you're gonna cut out The big outside circle and then just right here the little wedge pieces between the little cross shapes So I'm gonna cut all these out, and I'm gonna show you what we're gonna do next all right So once you're done cutting it out. You should have two big circle pieces like this just two regular pieces And like I said a little cross shape with circle in the middle. That's what you're looking for and So we're gonna do now. I'm gonna show you how to put the two back pieces together and We are going to add The Velcro straps for the handles so the easiest thing for you to do to figure out where your hand needs to go Just put your arm about halfway Center And about three inches or so inside the far side where your knuckles are gonna go And measure out right where the center of your hand is The bottom you want to come up about midway through your forearm a couple marks there And what you're gonna. Do is you're gonna slice a hole here and here Here and here, and you're gonna feed the strap Through so that way you could just glue it to the back side And you'll be able to open and close it anytime you want But what you're left with is after you've cut these holes out you just feed the straps through and this front one you might have To trim just a little bit see how I did it As I measured out where my hand was And what I did was I cut off what an extra I needed and that's where the hot glue comes in What you're gonna. Do is you're gonna take your gun And what you're gonna. Do is hot glue just this side and right here And just hold it down that way it stays in place, and you don't ever have to worry about it again All right, so for the next phase of our master plan now that our handles are in there We're gonna glue both halves of the full circles together Make sure if you are using like a TV box or something with something with lamination that you glue the laminated sides together We're gonna take our white glue here, and we're just gonna soak that stuff And the trick if you want to add some strength and a little bit of a grip to it So that way when you bump into somebody or if using this for like a fan film or something you nudge it It won't actually bend we want a little bit of strength to it you see I'm gonna try to get close you see how the Corrugation is going horizontal What we want to do is the core you want the corrugation on the other one Going vertical so make the lines on your cardboard Perpendicular to one another and all that's gonna Do is it's going to give it a little bit more strength Make sure that when you put the white glue on there you actually set something kind of heavy on there You're gonna let it sit for about a half hour You know whenever you feel comfortable as long as the stuff is sticking You want to make sure that the circles the outside edges lined up perfectly otherwise. It's just gonna look funny so what we're gonna do with this little cross shape one is We're actually going to glue on little rivets if you look at a He-Man shield, there's gonna be little rivets that go all the way around and what we're gonna do is Our little pop cap you can actually even use a quarter or nickel whatever you feel like as long as it's round You want to do 12 circles 12 of these little circles? So grab your your spare cardboard something you haven't used yet And what you want to do is just lay it down Outline it make sure you got 12 of them cut them out, and we'll go from there alright So I did forget one thing there is a big circle that goes right in the middle Now what you want to do is you want to take your roll of tape? Grab you know scrap piece of cardboard what you want to do is take it take your pen. Just mark the inside all you're gonna. Do is you're gonna cut that out as well as all your little bottle cap circles and I'm gonna get them all glued on there I'll show you what it looks like and I'll explain how I did it all right so the best way to do this is get Your hot glue gun right here Take one the one side of your circle Very little bit just put some hot glue on it and hold it down in the corners the best way to do this line it Up great. Let's do the corners first so here here Here and here what I mean by the corners is just right here where that line comes down and meets the circle So you do the corners first, and then you just kind of take the leftovers and eyeball the middle Just kind of you know take your best guess at where the middles at Glue that in the center so that way get a nice Symmetrical look all the way around and the best way to do the center as you can see I think my centerpiece here I laid it down. I laid it down flat I just kind of eyeballed right where the center was where I thought best fit it I just took a pen and all I did was I marked around that circle Right here, so that way all I have to do is just put some hot glue on one side and just fill it in put it Right there in that circle and after that cools down You're ready to go outside and paint this thing now everything is glued together. This is where you should be in You see how that went nice together. You know pretty smooth all the way around you want to take this part And you want to take your little cross part and now you want to spray paint them But you want to do it separately this is why you're gonna save yourself a lot of time a lot of tape Taping off this all you got to do Take your silver You're gonna spray this whole thing right here your little cross part silver And you want to take this and your red spray the whole part Not the whole part, but there's a full circle one You want to paint that red completely red? Edges not so much, but just make sure you get the center most of the way If you don't feel comfortable doing that just just spray the whole thing red And then we'll come back inside and we'll finish up the project. This is where you should be right now all red All silver and what we're gonna. Do is you want to try to get it There is a certain way it has to go on so you want to kind of put it on and figure out How it's gonna be held and the cross is gonna go up and down perfectly up and down to get an idea where that's gonna be at and Here comes the white glue again, so you take your white glue and what you want to do Just get white glue all around the edges Kind of bundled up in the middle and right here on the little cross shapes Set it on there get it straightened out wait a half hour and Pretty much done 20 minutes to a half hour later after you put the white glue on the silver part and attached to the red This is the end result. I mean it actually is pretty impressive for just cardboard and white glue Some silver and some red paint. This is a project that you can actually get done in about two hours And the longest part is just waiting for the white glue to dry Yeah, I mean other than that it's pretty simple like I said it was just a Cardboard that my wife and I got from a TV that we just bought on Black Friday So you can use any kind of cardboard? It's gonna cost you maybe six seven bucks in total depending on if you have the spray paint already The glue cost a dollar fifty Cardboard is free so yeah, I mean definitely it's worth a shot Thank you guys so much for watching If you have any questions on the actual dimensions of the circle or anything like that Just let me know in comment section below, and I will get those to you Yeah, other than that. I hope you guys enjoyed have a good time. Go make a shield and Let me know how it goes. I'll see you all in the next video
