Put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 8 Thanks to Bob Dewey of the Cleveland Museum of Art for creating this online project, and allowing Southwestern to offer it to Knights fans. If you have any questions, please contact Bob Dewey . Follow this link to download an Acrobat PDF file with helmet templates and instructions. Use the patterns to cut out and trace onto tougher material such as card stock or tag board.
Construction paper is practical, but less desirable for strength.
Fold it in half. Place the inside edge of the helmet pattern on the folded edge of stock, trace it carefully, and cut it out. Cutting the material folded saves time and insures that the final product will be more symmetrical. Folds add strength to the card stock just as they do to the steel of a real helmet. Now would be a good time to punch the holes needed for assembly.
