     – The Creed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 
Assassins. Seems like they’re everywhere these days, murdering it up. So for Halloween this year I made my own modern-style Assassin’s Creed costume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The white hoodie is pretty much standard as far as assassins go these days. The felt patch on the hood is a tribute to Connor Kenway’s patch in AC III. It’s clipped on with safety pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for good measure I’ve got dual hidden blades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Costume\"\/<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My hidden blades use a pair of telescoping drawer sliders from a local hardware store. The “blade” is made from a freebie paint stir stick painted gray. It’s held to the slider with fishing wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the wrist straps I bought some old belts at Goodwill, cut them down to size, and bolted them to the opposite side of the slider. I glued a couple excess pieces of belt to this side for extra grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blades pop out with a flick of the wrist and can be held in place with a finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course we have an Apple of Eden. You can’t really call yourself an assassin if you don’t go around collecting artifacts from the First Civilization, so I made this one by dremeling out the lines in a styrofoam ball and painting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The apples vary from one game to the next, this one’s more or less like the one Ezio found in the second game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s all there is to it! If you spot anyone dressed as a Templar, please let me know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
