One of the most popular characters among kids is Ben 10, and his Omnitrix, a device that allows him to transform into different aliens. If your child is a fan of Ben 10 and wants to dress up as him for Halloween or any other occasion, then you’re in luck. In this post, we’ll show you how to make a Ben 10 Omnitrix costume using EVA foam floor mat.
Materials Needed:
- EVA foam floor mat
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun
- Paint (green, black, and silver)
- Paintbrushes
- Velcro straps
Now that you have all the materials, let’s get started.
Step 1: Printable Template
To begin, you’ll need a printable Ben 10 Omnitrix template. You can find several online, such as the ones we’ve included in this post. Choose the one you like and print it out.
Step 2: Trace and Cut
Place the template on the EVA foam floor mat and trace around it with a pencil. Once you have the outline, carefully cut along the traced lines using scissors. Be sure to cut out any holes or details indicated on the template.
Step 3: Assemble
Next, it’s time to assemble your Omnitrix. Take the pieces you cut out earlier and arrange them according to the template. Use a hot glue gun to attach the pieces together, following the shape and design of the Omnitrix. Once everything is secured, let it cool and dry.
Step 4: Painting
Now it’s time to bring your Omnitrix to life with some paint. Start by painting the base color of the Omnitrix using green paint. Once the base coat is dry, add black and silver details to create the intricate design on the Omnitrix. Let the paint dry completely before moving on.
Step 5: Velcro Straps
To make the Omnitrix wearable, you’ll need to attach velcro straps to the back. Measure the length of the straps needed to fit comfortably around your child’s arm, and cut accordingly. Use a hot glue gun to secure one side of the velcro strap to the back of the Omnitrix, and the other side to the opposite end. Allow the glue to dry completely before trying it on.
And there you have it! A homemade Ben 10 Omnitrix costume that your child will love. This DIY project is not only fun but also a great way to encourage creativity and imagination. So strap on the Omnitrix and let your child embark on exciting adventures as their favorite Ben 10 alien.
Remember, Halloween is just around the corner, and this costume will surely make your child the star of the night. Get your materials ready and start creating memories that will last a lifetime!
