Making the Vice-captain armband

So now, for the fun, tricky parts that make up your Bleach Character (if he or she is a vice-captain)

Cutting figure

1. First you should get the material you want to use for the symbol. I used wood, but you can use carton or plastic or foam
2. Get the cutter (scissors,saw, etc) for the material of choice
3. Following this pattern (size not on scale. View anime for appropriate size) : see 'Cutting figure' : cut the pieces you need
4. Get the glue of your choice that will work on the material you chose.
5. Glue the small and long blocks (as indicated) to the big part : see 'first gluing part' and 'second gluing part'  :
6. Paint the inside brownish-yellow with a black border
7. Add your number and crest of choice : See 'Paint example' :
8. Make an armband (white) and insert it between the 2 openings in the back (where you glued the blocks)
9. THERE YOU HAVE IT! Your very own armband
