Shield
If you would like to make your own shield, follow this step-by-step guide:
First, get a piece of wood and draw out a triangle on it (the top should be about twice as long as the bottom of the triangle). Once you’re finished drawing it out, cut through the wood using a saw. You could also ask someone at your local hardware store to cut it for you.
Next, find three pieces of cardboard and glue them onto the triangle (one on top, one in the middle and one at the bottom). Once they are dry, you will be able to paint the shield any color you want.
When painting, you could use regular paint or small stones to give it an authentic look. You can also purchase metallic silver spray paint and spray it onto the shield if you want.
Once all of this is done, take black duct tape and cut long strips out of it. Then place these strips onto your shield, one at a time.
