    Placemats? Like the ones infront of your doorstep? Or like on the dinner table? You may want to see the trash can armor thread. Let me try and find it for you.

    EDIT: Here's the thread: http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showt...ht=trash+armor

    Also, I see your new to TDH, welcome!

    I think the dinner table mats would not work because they would be too thin. But if you could pull it off and it looked right, it would rock because you would be really flexible. Goodluck on your quest, and don't be afraid to ask!

    Expanded PVC is the best cheap way to go. for about $50 bucks I bought enought to do two sets of armor, the primer, cutting blades, sandpaper and rub-n-buff. The Expanded PVC was about $35 btw

    The lowest budget method I've heard of is using plastic buckets. If you go any lower in price than that we're talking about cardboard.

    Well the $50 was broken down this way.

    $15 - for cutting blade, primer, sand paper, and the Rub-n-buff (these will need for no matter what you use as a base for the armor. you may have to add or sub out item depending what you armor is made out of.)

    Each 2' x 2' sheet of expanded PVC was about $4.38 I bought 8 sheets (about $35). You only need 4.

    Unless you have all the detail supplies, they will cost about $15 leaving you $5 to find base armor material. The devil is always in the details and so is a alot of the cost if you are just starting out.
