Imperial Pasties

These pasties are made from 0.35mm white and black latex.

The interesting part was the creation of the pattern of the pasties as I had to transform the imperial emblem into the surface of a cylinder (aka pacman).

The imperial emblem is a regular hexagon, so I cut the emblem into 12 pieces and removed 3-4 degrees from each to create the final pattern.

I transfered that pattern to the white latex and cut it with my scissors, glued the white onto the black latex and cut the outline leaving a small overlap for glueing the pasties.

Here is the pattern for the pasties: [SVG] [PDF]
