I would like to make a padawan costume for my son this year.
Anyone know where I can find a Helmet or something I could use to make the helmet?
Or some images?
Any help would be appreciated.

A padawan helmet? Not sure what that is... none of the young Jedi padawan I remember seeing wore helmets.

He´s referring to the helmets the younglings wore in EP2 while studying.

For reference :

-DVD and screen captures.

- EP 2 visual dictionary

- star wars website

-wookieepedia

For the helmet :

large salad bowl or outdoor bird bath or something else from

-thrift store
- Wally world
- IKEA (they happen to have metal as well as wooden ones from time to time, with a flat top)
- hobby store
-DIY store like Home Depot or else


For the jacket :

- on the cheap you could get a cheap karate jacket and dye it the colour you like

For the saber :

- cheapo saber from Hasbro or knock off
- youngling saber could turn up something when you use the search function

Another source for general information would be www.theforce.net ´s fan forums/ fan activities/costumes and props

The youngling tunic is special, because it is curved at the bottom and hems meet at a 90° angle.
To help keep the garment on, I suggest that you have ties that hold it together on the inside, at each hip. Karate gis often have these, but it is not as common among Jedi tunics however.

A problem with using plastic bowls is that these are most often made out of types of plastic (PE, PE-HD, HDPE, PP) that are impossible to get glue or paint to stick to with any permanence.

There has been an old tutorial for one of the lightsabers. I found out that I had the images, and combined them with the text still on ASAP.
Check it out here.
Another youngling saber was made from the Qui-Gon saber in the TPM Jedi Gear play set.
