So any cosplay dorks here? I need help making a shield

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

I need to make the back. like a handle and such, cardboard and leather belts all handy, maybe I should buy a doorknob and use that as a handle?

How do I secure the leather belt as an arm strap? Duct tape is peeling far to easy.

the backing is cardboard, the front is part aluminum and part tin.
The sides are duct tape.

You could try to use epoxy on the straps/cardboard, but the cardboard will peel off eventually. I don't know why you thought cardboard and metal was a good idea.

[Courage the Cowardly Dog]

well i can easily make another backing and the work with that. What kind do you suggest?

[Sacks]

Wood? More metal? I don't know how it's put together so I can't really say.

DUCT TAPE + CARDBOARD = SUCCESS

Dress as a sephiroth/aries hybrid cosplay character, get a real sword (a knife would even do), and remake the murder scene in front of your friends.
