Star Lord Belt Buckle

thingiverse

For a show-stopping Star-Lord cosplay belt buckle, start by acquiring an ordinary 3-inch belt or scrounging one from thrift stores to modify into the genuine item. Once you've got it, give it a new, futuristic look with aluminum foil strips wrapped all over, making sure to keep them firmly stuck in place. Add some silver and white paint to enhance the design on your custom belt buckle; carefully apply paint stripes that resemble the look of an alien spaceship's metallic skin to achieve a shiny appearance. Add three more aluminum foil bands running perpendicular to those initially placed, with small screws connecting them. Place some decorative rivets onto these straps for additional style. Secure a flat piece of metal beneath these rivets as they get hot in time when using strong heat settings or hammering them repeatedly into position. Your cosplay Star-Lord belt buckle is almost ready – it only requires one more thing to make it shine: glow-in-the-dark accents! Use UV paint, LED lights, and an additional thin coat of varnish on top to create this glowing effect; don't overdo it though since less would be best so as not draw too much attention away from the buckle itself. Now go show off your new DIY creation!
