/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hey, /cgl/, been trying to make a few accessories lately, but I'm a bit lost.

First prop, just a glossy white square for a hat. Something similar to a Naruto headband, only white. Been thinking of getting some white craft foam, sealing it with watered down glue and covering it with a glossy finish, but I was wondering if there's a better method. Maybe even a place where I can find scrap plastic or something in that shape? It's a simple rectangle that curves slightly around the forehead.

Second, making ear pieces. Planning on getting some circular lid, covering it with dark foam. Then I'd put a 2 inch lens in the center and attack some painted drumsticks for the antenna. Really, what I'm wondering is: where do I find some decent convex lens-shaped things that can be painted, how to attach the drumsticks without them bending out of place, and how to keep them on my ears? Thinking of breaking off a thin headband from some old headphones and attaching them to it.

Any suggestions?
