>> Bianca: Aw, what's up?
>> Speaker 3: I just wanted to thank Ben and
Bianca for making me this sweet Deadpool suit.
So I made them a drawing, that's Ben, that's Bianca, and that's me.
Whoop, that's bad guys, gotta go.
>> [SOUND] >> Ben: Welcome to Homemade How-To,
where we show you guys how to make props and
costumes with just stuff from around your house.
>> Bianca: You guys have been demanding that we do Deadpool.
So, today we're gonna show you how to make a homemade Deadpool suit.
>> Ben: That's right, but before we do that,
we're gonna actually share with you guys some fan-made artwork, props, and
costumes that have been coming in from all over the globe.
It's pretty awesome.
So let's check it out.
>> Bianca: First up, we've got a Batman v Superman poster by Julian Bell.
And we've got an Avengers poster by Griffin Finnegan.
>> Ben: And then we have this amazing Batman mecha helmet from
EJ Blanco from the Philippines.
This thing looks legit.
>> Bianca: It look exactly like ours.
>> Ben: It is so awesome.
The eyes light up and everything.
Great job EJ.
>> Bianca: Justin Knoepfel from Pennsylvania made a pretty
serious T-800 figure.
>> Ben: Yeah, that looks pretty dangerous.
>> Bianca: Douglas Silva from Brazil also made an amazing T-800 figure.
>> Ben: Yeah, I think his face actually looks more terrifying than ours.
And then a friend of ours on Instagram, Daultosaurus,
he started to make his own Hitman suits.
And we have pictures of his helmet here, which is looking pretty awesome.
>> Bianca: Kim McFry has been following this show for quite a while.
>> Ben: Hi Kim. >> Bianca: He made the Ben costume,
as well as, the Ecto-Goggles.
>> Ben: And now it's time for super-fan.
>> Bianca: Fan.
>> Ben: Fan.
>From Vietnam.
>> Bianca: He made the Phong Tran Pack.
The Indie idol.
>> Ben: Along with Indiana Jones's hat, the-
>> Bianca: The Iron Man helmet.
>> Ben: Turtle head.
>> Bianca: The Tim Burton Batman cawl.
>> Ben: He also made the AT-AT from Star Wars.
And these weren't actually anything we did for a how-to episode.
He saw this in an actual Homemade episode and
made it on his own, which is pretty awesome.
And then finally we got this really cool fan mail from
Aaro Pera Rouhu from Finland.
>> Bianca: Finland.
>> Ben: That's right. Thank you guys for
sending in all of your homemade props, costumes and art work and fan mail and
keep them coming, because we always love to check them out.
So, keep making stuff.
>> Bianca: So let's get started on this Deadpool costume.
For the mask we got a piece of red fabric.
>> Ben: And you could use a tee shirt as well or pillowcase, or
something like that.
And then we got these plastic face masks.
You can find these at the dollar store.
>> Bianca: We also have a bit of white, sheer fabric.
>> Ben: All right, let's get to it.
>> Bianca: All right.
Your first step is to take your piece of fabric,
make sure that it fits snugly around your head.
Once you have a measurement, cut off the excess.
Create a hem using a bit of hot glue, and then fold the fabric over.
Glue both of the hems together.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: Yeah, we're basically making a giant sleeve.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: Score!
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: [LAUGH]
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: And so we've got all this excess at the top here, so
that's gonna have to come off.
So I'm gonna go ahead and have you take it off, cuz it's a lot easier to cut it.
That much is coming off.
>> Ben: I'm helping.
>> Ben: Cool.
>> Bianca: You want to fold some of the excess fabric.
We want the front of it to be more smooth.
So I folded the sides in a bit, so
the top kinda lace over top of it.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: And we're actually gonna be using this foam head so
we can hot glue stuff to this.
>> Bianca: Tuck in the excess fabric on the top of the mask.
Apply hot glue to the inside of the fold and close it shut.
Do that for both sides to create a nice smooth top.
>> Ben: Play around with the nub here.
What we actually ended up doing was trimming some of the inside fabric and
folding it to the inside of the nub,
so that we could wrap the outside fabric around it.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: So it sort of fills it in so that it stays in that shape.
>> Bianca: And so now we're ready to move on to the eyes.
>> [SOUND] >> Ben: Making use of the cheek and
the eyebrow shapes that are already on this mask.
And the shapes starts basically on the bridge of the nose and
goes down to just below the cheekbone and
then from the temple down to that point under the cheekbone.
And then for the forehead,
it's from the bridge of the nose to the top of the forehead.
And then from the temple, kind of at an angle,
up to the top of the forehead.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: And then the rest of his forehead is kind of an angular shape.
Using the mask, draw pieces onto cardboard to create that correct shape.
And it doesn't go very high up.
Cut those two pieces out and
glue them onto the mask to complete the shape of the mask.
So lay the black leather against the mask and cut the eye-holes out first,
folding the excess into the inside of the mask to create nice eye-hole shapes.
And then glue the rest of the fabric right on to the mask.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: Cut all of the excess off around the mask, and
then fold the rest of the excess fabric around to the back side of the mask.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: So it's pretty simple and
it makes it look really superheroriffic, if that's a word.
>> Bianca: Take your white sheer fabric.
This fabric is really wonderful because you're able to see through it.
Cut out little squares with enough fabric, so
that it attaches to the back of the mask.
And there you have it.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: Ben is blind as a bat, because we haven't given him eyes yet.
We'll take our two face pieces.
Just have you hold those up to your eyes.
Take a pencil and sketch that outline onto the facemask.
It's gonna have a mark where your eye is.
>> Ben: Yeah. >> Bianca: Is that your eyeball?
>> Ben: Mm-hm.
>> Bianca: [LAUGH]
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: We're cutting out eye holes before we put any of these details
onto the mask.
>> [MUSIC] >> Bianca: We're making fake seams
using a bit of red fabric.
Apply hot glue along the edge of the fabric, fold it over.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: Cut out the little strip.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: The first piece starts at the top of the eye mask and
runs along the top of the head and all the way down the back of the mask.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: The second seam starts at the bottom of the eye mask and
runs down the entire front of the mask.
>> Ben: So now once the seams are on we can attach the eye pieces.
And we are hot gluing these, be pretty generous with the hot glue so
they stay on there nice and tight.
>> [MUSIC] >> Ben: Repeat that for the other side
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: And there you have it, that is Deadpool.
Right. >> Bianca: Yeah.
[LAUGH] For the base of the suit, we have red leggings and
a red jacket with a collar.
You could also use a turtleneck.
Trace the side piece templates onto your black fabric.
Cut that out.
You'll notice all the tabs on the side.
You want to fold those over to create a hem.
>> Ben: And then do the same thing for he shoulder templates.
We're holding this up to my body so
that we can trace the pattern onto the jacket so we can take it off.
And then we know where to glue it.
Because this black continues up to the pants,
cut the excess off at the bottom and glue that extra piece onto the pants.
There are some details on the jacket, like these arrows that we're making
out of cardboard, and then covering that with our black fabric.
And then we're using some aluminum foil tape for
the little strip of silver that's here on the end.
He has these kind of chest pads which are red, cut those out of cardboard,
wrap them in red fabric.
And you want to glue those on before the shoulder pads.
Glue the shoulder pieces on the same way you did the side pieces, but
leave the top open.
>> Bianca: Stuff the top with foam and seal up the top.
There are a couple of little details on the top of the chest pieces.
For those, we're using some spray-painted washers.
>> Ben: And for the kneepads and elbowpads, we're actually using sponges,
and we're just going to cover those up with our red fabric and
then hotglue them to the pants and of course the elbows on the shirt or jacket.
>> Bianca: Take a black belt, wrap it around the collar of the jacket, and
hotglue it.
Snip it on the ends, and there you have it.
Now, we're ready to do the gloves.
>> Ben: We have rubber gloves.
And then underneath that we have some fabric gloves.
Cut off the fingers at the first knuckle and then cut up your belts.
He has three pieces on the top of his hand.
Hot glue those to the top of the outside glove and that's it for the gloves.
Deadpool has shin guards, we just happen to have these toy gullets we got at the 99
Cents Store, we need to extend them with some cardboard.
There is a little bit of a cut at the top that makes room for the knee and
this is entirely spray-painted red and attach the knees together.
It should gonna be holding place with elastic strap and
we're adding few little details on here with some washer.
So Deadpool has a lot of details on his suit which are just sorta belts and
pouches and straps, and stuff like that.
>> Bianca: We're gonna be using dog collars for the straps,
we got a regular black belt that we're going to paint brown.
We got pencil cases, cotton swab containers, we've got dental floss.
>> Ben: Yeah, and the cool thing about all of these is these are actually going to
be like, pouches that you can open up and use.
>> Bianca: So we just have to color this up a little bit, and
then we can add those details.
>> Ben: The belt is gonna be brown.
All of the pouches on the belts are gonna be brown.
>> Bianca: We're gonna paint the dog collars black.
Right here we have our spray painted belt and parts.
Take the dental floss containers, attach it to the outer edge of the belt.
Take your q-tip container,
place it a little further end side of the dental floss container.
We're reinforcing that with a little bit of tank then let's take our pencil case
Attach it to one side of the belt.
And then we've got this great cell phone case that actually has a clip on the back.
Clip that right to the centre of the back of the belt.
>> Ben: For the Deadpool belt buckle.
Using a tape roll as a stencil.
And then it's kind of a NO symbol.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: And then spray paint it red.
You have to be able to take the belt on and off.
So what we did was, we attached a bobby pin to the back of our belt buckle, so
we can put the belt on and then just attach the belt buckle on.
[SOUND] So of course, it wouldn't be Deadpool without the weapons.
And here we have toy weapons, of course.
We have a bunch of ninja swords.
We have a plastic knife.
And, of course, fake guns.
His guns are actually silver but
we're not gonna paint these ones cuz we wanna hold on to these ones.
We'll get some other ones we can paint for the trailer.
>> Bianca: For the holster, we've got this utility belt pouch and
a little bit more of our black fabric.
For the holster,
take a bit of cardboard, trace the outline of the gun onto the cardboard.
Make sure to leave a little bit on the side so that you can fold those in to
create a pouch, hack glue the cardboard to the utility pouches, take your black
fabric, glue that over the cardboard and around the sides of the pouch.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: And do the same thing for the knife holster.
>> Ben: Cool.
>> Bianca: Attach the top of the holster to the belt with zip ties, and
attach the bottom of the holsters to the dog collars with zip ties.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: The base of the sword holster is a diamond shape.
Cut that out of cardboard and then there's another panel that's sort of a square and
then an upside down T-shape.
So these swords need to criss-cross, so
glue the case of the sword on to the top of the diamond shape.
And glue the other sword case to the back side of that diamond shape.
To kind of hide that crisscross area,
glue that top piece right onto the top sword case.
So all we need to do is spraypaint this black, and there you have it.
We also made a shoulder strap where you could also just use a backpack strap, and
then the best way to attach this sword holster is to zip it tight
right to the belt.
>> [NOISE] >> Ben: Last but not least, his shoes.
>> Bianca: We've used these for Batman, we've used these for Antman, and
we like these because they were cheap.
>> Ben: So, don't hate on the velcro.
Really all that he has on the shoes is a panel of red.
Cut that out, spray paint it with red.
>> Bianca: And we're gonna add a couple of washers for details.
>> [SOUND] >> Ben: And
here we have a table full of Deadpool.
>> Bianca: Yeah. >> Ben: It's pretty awesome.
I can't wait to put it on.
>> Bianca: All right, well, then let's put this thing together.
>> Ben: Help me.
>> [SOUND]
[MUSIC]
>> Ben: And these were pieces of belts that I just cut a little shorter.
>> Bianca: So we're using shoelaces for the bands that go on the upper arm.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: Yeah.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: All right, this is it.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Ben: All right, how do I look?
>> Bianca: It looks great.
>> Ben: Yeah? >> Bianca: It looks awesome.
I love the straps.
>> Ben: It's a pretty simple suit.
It's just the straps make it look really complicated.
>> Bianca: Mm-hm, the fabric, I feel like that really makes it kinda pop a little.
>> [MUSIC]
>> Bianca: And that's how you
make a Deadpool Suit.
