How to Make a Han Solo Costume on a Low Budget

Han Solo is the unexpected hero of the original Star Wars series. In the beginning, he is a loner who only cares about himself, but finally decides to be part of the group that fights for the common good. With a few household items and the steps provided in this article, anyone can make a Han Solo costume on a low budget.

Things You'll Need

• White shirt
• Scissors
• Brown pants
• Brown belt
• Dark blue or black vest
• Combat boots
• Brown felt

Instructions

1. Gather the clothes for the low-budget Han Solo costume. Get some dark brown pants and a plain dark blue or black vest. Also get a formfitting white shirt, a big brown belt with a large square metal buckle, some combat boots and some brown felt.

2. Cut a vertical slit down the middle of the white shirt to the middle of the chest. Cut a long skinny rectangle from the brown felt and attach it around the right leg just above the knee. Put on the pants to make sure that the felt around the right leg is not too tight.

3. To make the pants more like Han Solo's from the movie, add a dotted red line down the outside of the right leg. Use either red ribbon or red thread.

4. Get Han Solo's accessories. Find a blaster. Find one of these in a toy store or order one off of the Internet.

5. Make a long rectangle of brown felt as thick as the belt. Attach this to the belt so that it will drape and cling to the right leg.
