Cardboard Knight Helmet 3 Steps With Pictures Instructables Step 1: create the pattern & prep the parts. print out the helmet pattern files. there are 3 files: helmet top, helmet back, and helmet front. the back and front files are just half of the pattern. print 2 each of these or just flip the one over when tracing to form both sides of the piece. It should fit over your chest with a small amount of excess on the edges. cut a curve at the base of the piece. this increases your flexibility when wearing the chestpiece by allowing you to bend over easier. trace the completed piece onto another, similarly sized, piece of cardboard. repeat steps 2 6.

Step 4: glue up the top of the helm. begin construction by gluing together the top body piece. using a scrap of cardboard hot glue a gusset across the back edge of the piece. bend the top round to form a circle and join the ends together. Step 3: making the dome frame. to make the top of the helmet, the "dome", i first make a cardboard ring and glue it into the top of the helmet. this will give the frame something to attach to. the dome frame is made from two interlocking cardboard semicircles and is then glued to the cardboard ring. Cut out the pieces with a knife of some kind a utility knife or box cutter works well. cut only the lower side of the dart marking all the way through. the upper side, cut through only the top layer of cardboard. then peel the top layer and the corrugations off, revealing the inside of the corrugated sheet.
