Canvas Shoulder Strap weathering (Sandtrooper)

[silverBoyd[501st]]

Got some white canvas at the local fabric store.

----

Since I'm going Sandy, I don't want the shoulder straps to look clean. I decided to take some of the material and soak it in a tea bath for 1 1/2 hours.

 

The result was pretty cool.

 

I'll iron the canvas, sew the edges, add heavy duty snaps & attach them to my chest and back armor. I think it will look nice once I get the rest of my armor dirty. May also add some good 'ole dirt onto it and once it dries...rub it off

Shoulder straps are made from elastic - not canvas

I painted the elastic band, and doesn't look so bad
