It's that time of the year again! Halloween is fast approaching. Have you prepared a costume to use for trick or treating? If not, here's a cool guide on how to make a Knight in Shining Armor Costume!
Turn your child into a gallant knight with this easy to follow tutorial.
Materials:

Instructions:

2. Cut along the sides to make “short sleeves.”
3. Attach the Velcro to the front and back of the “armor” to close on either side of the waist.
4. Cut Aluminum Dryer Vent Duct long enough to cover each arm and leg. Depending on the size duct you buy and the child’s leg it may only cover to just above the knee.
5. Sew the Vent Duct to each of the sweatshirts shoulders with the sleeves inside the duct.
6. Sew the Vent Duct to the sweatpants with the leg of the pants inside the duct.
7. Use the 2nd Sun Shade, (2) fasteners and watch this video to make a helmet. I had no idea how I was going to make the helmet.

9. Add a feather to the helmet.
10. Add a sword and shield to complete the costume.
