Joker's coat of grenades

[maddogjwn13]

I'd like to create this on my Hot Toys Joker. I was wondering if anyone would have any tips on how to make straps or something to keep the grenades on his jacket. I have all the grenades and plan to just use purple thread to string the pins to his thumb, but whats the best route for holding the grenades in place? I guess my inability to sew will really hurt my attempt to do this, too.

I really want to do this as well - suggestions would be much appreciated

I would use red string and sew into the seam and not touch the outer jacket.

You could always try micro velcro.A little dab of glue and vecro on one side of the grenade and some fabritac and velcro on the inside of the coat/vest.

Your best bet would be to use elastic you can buy lots of different sizes in a fabric shop.
Use hidden stitching on them so just sew the elastic in to the red lining do not go as far as the purple.
Let me know of any Qs

Very nicely done. I love the hair. Whoever did that sure did a nice job. Everything about this figure is great. Like I said the hair stuck out for me. Once again, very nice work and the figure looks great.

I did the real hair myself as the grenade coat!
