Sabatons are the feet in a suit of armor and they need to be made of several sections so they can bend and flex as you walk. I give you the template so you can make sabatons out of cereal box cardboard and craft foam.

And I give you two different styles including the normal to and the Gothic pointed toe.

The template is here.

This is one of a series of craft foam armor projects I have where I make a complete suit of armor. You can see all those projects here.

Will has a youtube channel with over 1000 videos on projects you can make. Check it out right here

Materials and Tools used for this project:

• 3 Sheets of Craft foam (I use this: Foam Sheet 9"X12" 2mm-Black 10 per pack )
• Spray Adhesive or some kind of glue
• 1 or 2 empty Cereal boxes - You can also use file folders or poster board
• Brass Fasteners, Inexpensive and work very well. Any office store will have them, Also amazon has them. These are the exact ones that I use in this tutorial: Acco Plated Brass Fasteners, 100 Count, (A7071703B)
• The Template
• X-acto knife or Scissors ( Xacto X3311 N0. 1 Precision Knife With 5 No. 11 Blades )

Print up the template and cut out the pieces. You need six pieces to make a sabaton. I also give you two different toe styles that you can choose from, a normal style and a gothic pointed style.

Put those pieces on your cereal box cardboard and trace them.

Also mark the dots, the dashed lines and the numbers. Anything that is drawn on the template piece should be transferred to the cardboard.

Now cut those pieces out.

Glue the pieces to craft foam.

I used a spray adhesive. But you can use other types of glue or adhesive. Just be sure to test it first by gluing a scrap piece of foam to a piece of cereal box cardboard. You wan to make sure it doesn't melt the foam or crinkle and come undone. On Amazon here: Elmer's E451 Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive, 11 oz, Aerosol)
