How to Make the Cape for Darth Vader Pipe Cleaner Figure

Video Transcript

"Now our favorite Star Wars baddie, has his arms, his legs, his helmet, his face plate, and all things he needs to survive. Now we need one of his less usable accessories, his cape. Still makes him look cool though. With this, I'll fasten one part here and spin it around like that. Now we'll just pull this around and fasten it on his other arm and pull it like that. Now, I leave the cape hollow like this, because I usually like to pose it in some odd manner. Like wrapped around him or maybe just floating out in the air or something like that. Give it some of that epicness. You can fill in the cape if you want to, but this is the way I usually make it. Now that, that's done, he can't really be evil unless he's got something to cut up poor Jedi with. We'll get some red, remember that technique I showed you on Luke. Do it about the size, from his neck to his arm. So, we'll fold it down like this, pull it around, and pull back and then do that. That'll be his lightsaber. We'll cut off that and a little bit of this. Then get some white, thin if you have it. Doesn't matter if you have thick. Wrap it around until we have his basic handle. So now, I'll get a little more black and this time I'll just cut off a little bit straight from the package. Now, I'll make the handle like this, pull it down like that, do this. Cut off a little extra, not too much, and then using that extra that was on the lightsaber, I'll just pull it around his hand and fasten it. That way he can hold on to his lightsaber. And you have Darth Vader. Pose him any way you like."
