We know you’re secretly jealous of all the cosplay going on at Comic-Con. Although the convention ends today, you’re obsession with superheroes won’t. That’s why Maker has rounded up the best of the best comic book character accessories and how to recreate them at home. Perfect for Halloween preparation or just another Sunday night.

Batman’s Mask

You can use duct tape for everything – including superhero masks like this “Dark Knight” version of Gotham’s favorite face. 

Captain America’s Shield

It may not be as lightweight or unique as the original, but here are 5 ways to make a signature shield of your own.

Thor’s Hammer

When you want to strike someone down with the hammer of Thor, don’t use this one – it’s made of paper. But still quite impressive.

Superman’s Shirt and Cape

The most classic look of them all. Simple yet strong, a well-constructed Superman ensemble never goes out of style.

Wolverine’s Claws
This project may be a little ambitious, but admit it – these simple DIY Wolverine claws are embarrassing. Go big or go home.
