Gauntlets solved!
Leather hole punch with the pattern I posted before. I just used fray check on both sides and it worked wonders. I used permanent marker for the smallest "holes" as I didn't have a punch that small BUT I think now looking back that the smallest holes are just a regular stitch done with a wing needle. Anyway, here are a couple of photos of the results! I am officially DONE with my costume!

Fear is of the dark side. And so are those gauntlets. They're super intimidating! (Haven't made mine yet and went ahead and bought some from an Etsy seller. I'm hoping they work out well.)
Does anybody have any good secrets for making the knee pads on the pants screen accurate? It looks so simple. But, alas, it's not.

Haha Yes! Why does this costume seem to be so simple, but everything is NOT simple
I used this one, too.

Dude. Yes. For me, it's the colors, though. I dyed so much for Scavenger Rey. I mean, is it grey? Is it tan? Greyish-tan? UUUUUUUUUUUUGHGGGGGGGGG!
YES, the colors. What in the world?! Oh, it's a medium gray with black-ish spots. No, it's a lighter gray--with herringbone. Oh, this doll makes it look tan. Only Daisy Ridley and the costume designer may really know what color her costumes are at this point.
I have played around with how I'd LIKE to do the knee pads, but I don't think I'm quite skilled enough to do it that way, so I'll carry on with what I can do and deal with it, I suppose Good luck on the submission. I'm sure it looks great. I hope to submit when I get everything made, which will be months from now Hopefully by the end of June I'll be done for sure!It's very much lighting-dependent. I just submitted for RL in this outfit, and my pants look more white than grey, but in real life, they're pretty grey. Sigh.
I have another pair in the works, though, because I'm not completely happy with the knee pads on my first try.

Oh! That reminds me! Here's mine, guys. First draft of most things.

Nice!
Looking great! What fabric did you go with? That looks like Dorr Mill. My fave hehe.
I'm hoping to make a write up on how I did mine soon to help others out!
I had looked at doing some weathering on mine a while back and i tried blotting the wool with some darker gray watered down acrylic paint mixed with fabric medium applied with a rag. I ultimately decided not to do it, but the test pieces i tried came out darker, but still had the color variation.
Do a test piece, go in light layers and proceed with caution if you decide to try it. The paint needs to be thin so it doesn't sit on the surface. And you will prob need to mix wht and black to get the exact gray shade you need.
Which one?
