okay that was too easy. went to the resale shops and bought two girls stretchy velvety shirts in appropriate sizes.

Found the standard with the tree on it on some website, enlarged it to max size on a piece of paper, reversed imaged it so that the tree was black and background white (to use less computer ink) or you could just print it in draft mode or make it real light with the computer tools. then using an exacto knife razor blade thingy over cardboard, cut out the design. Taped it to the shirt and a bottle of fabric glue in glitter silver later, it was done. Twice.

wish you could see frodo's mirthirl vest. - haunted ebay until i found a disco era silver sweater in a petite size, cut off the sleeves, and wah lah, a mithiril vest. (yeah, we live on a budget).

shameless self promo here, Aragorn's crown -- paper plates, glue gun, metalic paint and a dollar store hairpiece unraveled an sewn in. Touched up with a matalic paint pen. then spayed liberally with many coats of clear acrylic spray (before the hair went on).

got lots of cool tips from a website for LotR costumes called Alley Cat Scratch. google it.
