/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I've not been posting much because I'm fighting a staph infection in my jaw. I saw the 'ask' on CC's blog, and thought of 2 different ways people might could make the hair accessories seen in the Slow Motion video after looking up the pictures. If anyone wants to put in the effort, this might could work.

1. They seem to be hair ties so the least realistic option would be to buy a giant pill resin mold, and use metal 'hoops' to attach the hair ties to the finished product. If you look at the hair ties featured on Rara-CirCo's VV storefront, there's an example of what I'm talking about by metal 'hoops'. This is the least realistic since they don't have the round shape to them.

2. The second realistic option would be more like putting together a costume. They sell these pill pens that are 2.5 inches. I wonder if the ink cartridge could be removed from the pen. If not, the cap could still be super glued on to make the accessory more sturdy either way. You could take that and affix the pill to a barrette clip with hot glue or something. I don't think the plastic would be strong enough to be drilled for the purpose of attaching a hair tie. It would likely crack if you did that. There's also aluminum pills sold by the container store that would not have the ink cartridge to deal with, but unless you lived near a Container Store, you cannot select the color online. I also worry how heavy aluminum would be for a hair accessory.
