    *(Please note: this is NOT my final submission!)*
    What self-respecting Sandrock would go into the desert without a cape? Well, not mine, if I have anything to say about it!
    I made this cape entirely from scratch using this small white cotton sheet I got for $0.99 at Walmart.
    First, I cut out a general shape tailored to the Sandrock’s body.
    Then, I used a hobby knife to cut and shred the fabric to give it that tattered appearance from having been subjected to the desert wind for (?) number of years. I have a couple pictures to show the test fit at this stage.
    Next, I applied a Rustoleum brand Satin Chestnut spray paint on the front and back.
    And finally, the last thing I did was to dip the cape in a coffee bath to stain the fabric to just the right tone I was looking for.
    And voila, Sandrock is all done!
    BUT!
    As I said before this is NOT my final submission. There’s one more thing I want to do that I think will really take this project to the next level. It shouldn’t be too hard either…
    Wish me luck!
