Most of the things you need to make a costume are in your house.Take a trip to the thrift store if you don't.For a good price, you should be able to find everything you need.You'll need a white tank-top, jeans, and boots to make your costume.
Step 2: You have to prepare your costume.
Try to find ways to break in the clothes if you end up buying everything new.The character is tough.Break them in with some yard work.You can add a few tears to the tank-top to make it look like you just got out of a fight.
Step 3: There are the right accessories.

Step 4: You should gather your supplies.
You only need a piece of cardboard, some paint, and a hot glue gun to make claws.The most affordable claws are cardboard ones.To make the claws, use a thick cardboard.If you want your claws to be stable, don't use thin boxes.
Step 5: Use a piece of computer paper to draw a template for your claw.
Make sure the claw is long.If you have trouble drawing your own claw templates can be found online.Cut a notch at the back of the claw to make it look like the claws are coming out of your hand.
Step 6: There are six claws on the cardboard.
It's easier to cut them out if you leave enough space between the claw.Use a box cutter or sharp knife to cut the claws.It is possible to cut out the claws in sections and then cut the outline.
Step 7: The claws can be painted with silver spray paint.
The claws should be painted a light gray color.When spraying, be sure to get all the edges.It's best to use several thin coats.Before handling them, let the paint dry.
Step 8: The claws have a handle.
Cut out two pieces of cardboard.Then cut out the two pieces of cardboard.You should be able to comfortably hold the pieces in your hand.To make a base for the claws, you will need one piece of each size.The claw runs between your fingers as you hold them in your hands.To mark where the base of the claw falls, place the larger piece of cardboard in your palm.Put the claws in place with a hot glue gun.Attach the smaller piece of cardboard to the claws with glue.
