Pics 1 & 2 show the parts of the outer layer of the tasset: double prong, double buckle belt with hair, greener detailing and a darker bandolier with kunai, and that butt sack.

I started with two prefab brown faux leather belts. I removed the buckle from one and added it to the other so that piece had two buckle ends that sat right about my hips. The remaining buckle-less piece, I took and made the correct length and punched new holes to make that piece buckle through the other belt, making it whole again.

After I had the base belt figured out, I needed templates for the other features, like the bandolier and kunai. I took some thin EVA foam and shaped out the not quite half circle for the piece holding the kunai. (There were lots of binder clips involved.)

I added some spiral steel to the back of this because it seemed like a decent idea.

I wrapped the back of the foam, with bones, in darker teal suede.

I then needed to know how much depth to account for on the kunai handles so I could patterns the upper suede layer.

The kunai ends were made from Wonderflex, backed in a coating of Gorilla Glue and back filled with foam. The template (pic 3) is just a scaled down part of a prop I made a few years back (pic 4). I opted to make only the upper edge of the blade. The cube ends were created in halves, then glued together. All the blade and end pieces were coated with poly resin and treated like everything prior. (pic 5)

"To get the glue to run from the handle into the pommel of the kunai, I filled the handle with gorilla glue then tacked the small cube on the end with hot glue for a temporary hold.The blade was then flipped over so the pommel was at the bottom; this allows the glue to run down the handle into the cube pommel and secure everything in place as it cures." *Someone else helped me clarify this point and I totally copy/pasted it.

I fussed with the placement of the kunai on the base then tacked them in place with hot glue. I measured along the bottom edge of the EVA, up and over the tubing, to get a rough estimate on how long a piece of suede I would need to lay over the handles.

I added a few inches or six, then cut an arced strip of suede, in an exaggerated shape similar to the partially suede covered EVA base, at the guestimated length and width.

I tested the fit of this and confirmed it would lay, with some coaxing, well enough.

I punched holes along the outer edges and cut lacing from the remaining suede to thread through the holes.

After the pieces, left and right, were laced, I laid them back over the kunai handles and secured the suede with adhesives.

The small "metal plates with rivets" that connect the tasset clip connector and the screwed on plate at the back of the tasset were made with plastic sheeting, google eyes used as rivets.
