How to Make a Black Panther Costume Bodysuit

In this tutorial I'll show you how to make a Black Panther costume bodysuit. This is kind of a cross between the Civil War suit and the Black Panther movie suit, since I liked the base of the Civil War suit better, but I preferred the details from the Black Panther movie, so I combined the two. The base pieces for the top and pants I picked up for a couple bucks at the local Salvation Army.
I didn't do the kinetic energy on my Black Panther suit, but if you wanted to add that to your suit, you could do so with a little neon purple puffy paint or flat fabric paint. You might also need a little black fabric paint just to blend the edges of the purple back into the Black Panther suit, so it doesn't look too raised.
MATERIALS USED:
1 Black turtleneck (or something similar)
1 pair of tight black pants
1 foot of stretchy fake black leather (found at JoAnn Fabrics)
Scissors
Fabric glue (amzn.to/2HeHoXv)
Small scraps of silver foil fabric (found at JoAnn's: bit.ly/2qOgwGS)
Scraps of cardstock
Silver adhesive foil (amzn.to/2oy4rT9)
Power-tac (amzn.to/2ixOyvy) or hot glue gun

Love the costume. Whose mask are you using.

[@Thewoodlandelf]

Thanks 😊 The mask is one that I made for my friend's kid. It's actually too small to fit on my head, and I haven't made a bigger one for myself yet, so I just photoshopped the small one on for the pic.

[@zac8113]

I'm just getting ready to post it now. It should be up in about 5 minutes.

[@JGDeRuvo]

So I'm not getting why you're doing the voiceover in the very beginning now. You're on the screen! Is it a mic thing?

[@Thewoodlandelf]

The microphone on my camera pretty much sucks. It doesn't pick up anything unless I'm standing quite close to it, so I just compensate by voicing over everything. When my current camera finally bites the dust, I'm gonna make sure the next one has a decent mic.

[@ctrxx2737]

Sure, I'll add it to my to-do list. It'll be a while before I get to it, because I get a lot of requests, but I'll let you know when I get it posted.
