Braveheart and secret Bride with slit throat costume
For my homemade Braveheart costume, I took a full length leather coat I bought from Value Village for $12. I cut little leather leaflets to look like armour pleats. I also made a leather case for the sword from the same jacket material, as well as straps.
I purchased the wig Wal-Mart for $6 and also blue face paint for $1.99.
The skirt is made from tartin pattern blanket(found at Value Village). I cut and then safety-pinned with kilt pin and dyed to match. Arm bands are made from the same leather coat.
I bought a cheap belt with studs at VV and removed studs and fixed them on arm bands to look like armour.
Whole Braveheart costume cost $25.00 Canadian
