This Homemade Body Armor utilizes the simplest and most cost effective method for construction.

!!!SAFETY WARNING!!!: This is for educational and experimentation purposes only. Do not construct armor plates for personal use. Doing so can result in serious injury or death if you were to get shot and the armor fails. Purchase commercially available body armor if you need protection.

The materials used were;

1. Ceramic Floor Tile (PEI5) – Available at Lowes or Home Depot

2. Medium Weight Denim – Denim can be purchased from Walmart, or fabric stores. Buy the Denim i used: http://amzn.to/1WWfBMU

3. Construction Adhesive – The brand I use is Locktite Proline 3x Strong Construction Adhesive. It is superior in every way to Liquid Nails basic construction adhesive. However Liquid Nails does work. Buy the Construction Adhesive I used: http://amzn.to/21SojwY

Note: You can add in a cut to size piece of galvanized sheet metal (used for roof flashing) inserted directly behind the tile to give it an extra boost of strength.
