Armor Rings

[Kylo Revan]

Greetings fellow Revanites,

 

I'm looking for methods anyone may have used to upgrade the 12 hanging rings around the armor.  Currently I have those keyring type rings on simple strings that seem to be the starting common look. 

 

Mostly what I'm looking for is a better method of holding the rings than simple string.  I think I saw one post where someone switched to eye hooks? Has anyone tried small leather straps or something of that nature?  A secondary reason is once I pick up one of the Fallen Saber Forge hilts I'd like something to attach it to I'm not afraid is going to snap off easily. We don't have a standard belt like a number of costumes so I'm figuring a saber clip isn't going to be so easy to incorporate.

 

Can anyone offer suggestions or point to previous threads that may have been helpful?

 

Thanks!

I picked up rings designed to hold curtains. I removed the clasp that grabs the curtain and then hot glued them to the armor.

I'm assuming you mean you hot glued the clasps? You didn't glue the rings themselves right?

 

Also, do you use an Ultrasaber / Saber Forge prop?  If so, are you using one of the rings to hold it when not in your hand?

Here's my WIP pic.  The rings on the left are the curtain rings I picked up at Hobby Lobby.  The rings on the right the keyrings that came installed by default.

 

I haven't submitted my costume for approval yet as I am waiting on my boots to arrive, hopefully they will be here late this week or early next week.

My boots and shirt are coming in this week.  There is nothing particular about the rings for submission other than they be present for now.  I'll probably work on upgrading them to something better after that is done at least.
