CLEAN UP!

So I have decided that i actually need a space in my house that i can work on my cosplay and keep all my materials nice and organized. Witch means... I need to venture into the scary depths of my cluttered basement and start to clean! OOOOOHHHH NOOOOOO! I will need to 1- clean 2- organize 3- set up a work table 4- bring in chair and drawers 5- maybe get a carpet 6- POWER OUTLETS and lastly... KILL ALL THE SPIDERS.... or get the boyfriend to.... << WISH ME LUNCH! I mean... Luck. Lunch works to.

Good energy

This video gives me so much inspiration and motivation to make cosplay, I thought I'd share it with all of you babies. Maybe you will feel the same? :) Good Vibes and Happy Cosplaying!

Fairy Costume [side project]

A random side project i am doing simply because my friend gave me the materials for free :)

 

I've gotten the skirt done so far.. what do you think? 

Jirachi Cosplay Shoes How To

Hey guys! Here is a little how to on how i made my shoes for my Jirachi cosplay :)

First, you will need to go round up all your supplies:

1. Hot Glue Gun

2. Glue sticks for said gun

3. Gold and Teal paint

4. Pair of shoes [flats]

5. Construction paper [thick]

6. Paper plates

7. Paint brush(es)

8. Sheet(s) of foam paper

9. Star outline

I just went online and printed off 2 

clear sizes of stars. Just to test 

and pick what size i liked better.

Now the foam sheets that I personally used where:

        Once you have all your materials, you are ready to start. Take the star outlines you have and cut them out and pick the size you like best. After doing that, trace it out on the construction paper and the foam sheets. For every one construction paper star, you will need 2 foam sheet starts. So there is a LOT of cutting @_@

 

       I didn't get pictures for my next step, so you'll have to excuse me. Cut out all the stars you need with the 1 construction paper to 2 foam sheet star ratio, and hot glue them together. So the 2 foam sheets should be making a sandwich out of the construction paper. Let dry, and you're ready to paint. Be sure to fill in the edges because the paint will also act as a glue to hold everything together. Be sure to fully paint both sides.

        

        Now while that is drying, you can start editing your actual shoes to the colors you want. I had plain blue flats with a bow on them, so i cut that off, painted the fabric teal, and all the edging gold. Here is a comparison picture of one that is almost fully painted, just needs one more coat of teal [Shoe on the left] and the other one that still needs a side and edging done.

         After you are happy with your paint job on your shoes and your stars, you are ready to fire up your hot glue gun again. Hot glue the now fully golden stars to the top of your shoes and enjoy all the wish makery goodness!
