Video Transcript

"So, now, our burned baddy, has his body, his basic details on his chest and his mouth piece. To finish off the details, get some thin green, as bright as you can. And fold it here and here. This will make his little breathing devices on his chest. With a little bit of that extra white we had left from making his chest piece, we'll cut off, about like that and we'll make a little circular shape with a triangle coming out on one end. Now this is a little known fact, but this is actually the speaker that has Darth Vader's voice in it. Weird why it would be on his chest. We'll just poke that through. Fasten it in back and pull that up. And that will be his belt and his lights. Now we'll get started on the cool stuff; the mask. Pull out some black and I'm just going to start making a triangle shape. About the size of half of his head. Just about like that. Measure that up and see if this triangle will fit on the two little pokers sticking out, those two little lines. It fits pretty good. Now, I'll begin to make the eyes. I'll make two little pinches on both sides and then I'll make his eyebrow. I'll fill in some of it to make it feel a little more full and cover up his face. With the excess black that I have, I'll cut off just a little bit and remember that thing I showed you earlier with the triangle; I'll just put that on his mouth piece and wrap this around in back. Curious isn't it. Now that, that's done. I'm going to show you how to do a helmet. Most of the time I leave this empty, my latest technique is to leave it full. But for now, I'll just show you how to make the empty version. I use this for capes as well, so look carefully. So you make a little circle, like that and fold it up and back. You'll spin it around like this and you can measure it up to his head if you want. So, I'll pinch it like that and make his head, which sticks out like that, just a little bit. We'll bring the excess and pull it around there. Now with this piece, I'm just going to fold it down, do that, then I'm going to make that. Curious, huh? This is supposed to be his helmet. Now watch what happens. I'll just adjust this a little bit, folding it down like so. And I'll just place it right there. Now, as you can see that's his helmet. This is where things will get cool. "
