Cardboard Armor

So for the Renaissance Festival this year I again made myself a suit of cardboard armor. The bunnycorn is the crest - a bunny crossed with a unicorn - and is one of the most fearsome creatures to ever not exist. The total cost was around $12 and that included a case of Mountain Dew to fuel my cardboard slicing spirit and a couple of buttons for Kelly's costume.

Here is detail of the breastplate:

My sword was really long and was pretty beat up at the end of the day:

The back of my armor was kind of interesting:

All in all it took about four hours total for construction, including time waiting for the paint to dry and all the sharpie detailing after that.

Here I am in action, getting attacked by the Grendel:

I also whipped up some bunnycorn sharpie tattoos for my fellow followers of the bunnycorn:

I love the way the bunnycorn skull with fire and snake came out.
