/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

a while ago I was looking online for a simple ruffling tut (I was doing it right but I just wanted to see if there was an easier way) and I found this
splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/ruffledribbon/
first page on google
ugh

Anyone got the one with the guy who makes contact lenses out of plastic bottles?

I've been searching for that forever. All I have is this guy and his plastic walrus contacts ("Hurr durr contacts used to be glass so it's totes safe")

>Contact lenses from plastic bottles

What the fuck? I really wish you were joking but something tells me you're not. Stupid people are great in number. Dear god, I hope someone finds and posts that tutorial.

Speaking of contact lenses, not really a tutorial but more of a "don't buy cheap as shit lenses and don't swab them with q-tips to see what happens" kind of PSA.

It's a long blog post that was screencapped and I had to break it into 2 parts.

>>6805773
Her rebuttal is just precious.

>>6805746
>they're very big and plastic looking
>oh it's for a mask, that's alright, he must have them over his eye
>wait
>*stares at picture*
>DEAR LORD HE PUT THEM ON HIS EYES

>>6805773
Who the hell sits around breaking their lenses

>>6805716
WHY WHY WHY WHY

>>6805786
Or better yet, who trusts their precious eyes to $3 contact lenses? She sounded young and stupid from her blog post so I'm going to guess she's exactly that: young, stupid, and spending mommy/daddy's money.

>>6805796
where do you even buy $3 leanes? They cheapest I've seen is $15 at discount stores (still wouldn't buy from them)

>>6805773
Putting a Q-tip to polyhema hydrogels is like using a diamond to scratch talc. Of course that shits gonna fall apart. Cellulose fibers are super abrasive. Wadda idjit.

>>6805796
Simply put, this is why I don't buy circle lenses any more. Regular colour lenses don't work well for me, but at least I'm running a much, much smaller risk of damaging my eyes.

This "colour leaking" thing isn't rare because the quality is so low. Most people don't need to rub the hell out of their lenses with a q-tip to see that, though. First and only pair I bought were ridiculously comfortable for the first two wears. After that they dried my eyes out like nothing else and I started noticing flecks of blue in the case when I changed the solution. Threw them out and haven't touched circle lenses since.

>>6805746
That thread... nooooooo....

Sounds as "legit" as this one asking if she can trim contact lenses down to a size she likes. I shudder to think how that would feel, like the pain of 10000 burning suns worse than a torn lens.

>>6805802
She said the price was RM6 so that's Malaysian currency. She's either in Malaysia or bought from a Malaysian company (those are my guesses anyway). But you're right, even the shady beauty shops sell their lenses for like $15 a pair.

>>6805835
Where did you buy your circle lenses and what brand were they? Eee.

>>6805847
i.Fairy. They were the "official" dealer, but they were cheap as. I'd read they were good as an introductory brand for circle lenses, and they had some cute designs, so I bought a pair. Later found out that the seller wasn't in South Korea like they were pretending. They've since changed their shop to say they're in Malaysia. Shady as fuck.

>>6805837
I thought the point of circle lenses was to make your eye bigger
I can't...

> This thread can't be that bad.
> Reads 'tutorials'.
> Wat.

My faith in humanity has dimmed.

>>6805659
this was the type of ruffle I was making btw

>>6805716
>Lenses made out of plastic bottles
I wouldn't wish that for my worst enemies

>>6805659
I copied the link thinking it couldn't be that bad.
>NOPE
That technique looks like ass, even for what they're doing.

>>6805746
>>6805716 here. THIS is what I was talking about, thanks!!!

>>6805746

>>6805746
>They don't touch your cornea, they sit on your sclera. leaving a pocket between your cornea and the lens.
NO
JUST THE THOUGHT OF IT

>>6805746
>The old solid plastic ones (like mine) can't be worn long since it cuts off oxygen to the eye.
I think it's even more fucked up that he realizes it's not actually safe but goes OH IT'S OKAY IF I WEAR THEM ONLY A BIT

>>6805716
>>6806018

Wasn't there a youtube tutorial on how the guy does it too? Or was that someone else?

>>6806096
I'm just cringing at the thought of PAX on a lens going into the eye.

And am I the only one who didn't see where he said he made them from plastic bottles? It sounded like he had an old pair of hard lenses that he decided to paint? I don't even know, whatever it is he used, it would be fascinating to see how he's doing these days. God that sounds so dangerous.

>>6806106
isn't there one where the guy puts copper wire of some shit into his eye and calls them contacts?

This whole thread with it's stuff about eyeballs...Making contacts out of bottles, getting what I can only assume are knock-off contacts and showing the dye comes off and people wanted to actually trim down contacts...Has freaked me out.

>>6806159
There actually is another tutorial by some other guy on making lenses from a plastic bottle. I've seen it, but I did not save it and my Googlefu is failing.

as if you couldn't find a toy poke ball

>>6806197
It wasn't too bad until they did the black ring.

>>6806197
Is this a rip off of the one pokeball tutorial?

>>6806214

>>6806197
>>6806214
Really. I don't think they understood what taping shit off was supposed to do. How could it be so damn sloppy unless they freehanded it after the tape fucking it up.

A few years ago, there used to be this ridiculously popular, yet horrible DIY/craft blog run by a woman who couldn't craft for shit. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name to re-find it.

Anyway, she had a studded trench coat DIY tutorial where she cut the tips off shishkabob sticks, spray painted them gold, and glued them to a trench coat. It looked like shit, but the pinterest crowd ate that shit up.

Uh oh, no wait, I found it.
psimadethis.com
Your one-stop shop for shitty, lazy crafts that only look good because they're collaged in with photos stolen from fashion magazines. And she has a book now, too.

>>6806297
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN QUICKER AND CHEAPER TO BUY STUDS FROM EBAY AND DO IT PROPERLY.

>>6805773
Holy shit, how many lenses did she waste doing that? I can barely afford having a couple pairs, I could never willingly destroy like 6 fucking lenses just to "see what happens"

>>6806319
I think she killed off more than she showed in her blog from the sounds of it. But they were also ghetto lenses she was stupid enough to buy. See >>6805847 apparently they cost like $3/pair. So sketchy

>>6806314
I KNOW! And that's what her whole site is like. But she's apparently even made it onto TV craft shows, because morons see all the pretty fashion mag scans and fail to notice how shitty her crafts are.

>>6806339
Oh I thought she was exaggerating saying $3 a pair. Why would you actually put something that cheap in your eyes? Although any contact would've leaked using a Q-tip on it like that.

>>6806347
Actually, it's worse than I thought. I just did a currency conversion. 6 Malaysian Ringgits = $1.92 USD, that shit is horrifying.

How could you not tell that lenses that normally sell for $20+ are bootlegs if someone's letting them go at such a low price?! That's not even a "I'm selling down my stock" or "it's a sale!" kind of price.

>>6806297
>>6806343
I'm sorry but those look horrendous. Even if they weren't made of crappy materials. It just looks horrible.

Why can't you just make a USEFUL tutorial thread? Why do we need shitty ones?

GODDAMN THIS WHOLE FUCKING THREAD

>>6806197
Yeah, I mean, it's kind of silly in that you don't HAVE to make them, but the tutorial itself isn't terrible. The only thing wrong here is the sloppy job with the black paint.

>>6806350
Woah that's ridiculous.
I couldn't imagine even beginning to trust someone selling circle lenses for $2! At $1 each lens they are literally dollar store circle lenses.

>>6805659
I don't see whats so bad? All the old people I knowdo it that way. Iknow there are easier ways, but its really not uncommonenough to be cringe worthy. imo atleast

>>6805954
that's fucking nightmare fuel, I am digging my nails into my cheeks in horror god fuck fuck

PS I Made This shit tutorials dump so you can know my pain

>>6806368
Because there are usually useful tutorial threads. And if there isn't one running now, start one.

OP wanted a bad tutorial thread. It's the same kind of appeal as having bad cosplay threads versus the usual super awesome desu cosplay threads too. It's just something new and perhaps funny to look through.

Let me remind you tha these are fashion tutorials, for real, live every day fashion.

>>6806390

That looks like mold balls.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOnEwFuUwOo

Yes, real fashion. I completely believe that a person wore this out of the house, and that other people might like to make it and also wear theirs out of their houses.

She didn't even fuse a stabilizer to this.

glued-on lapel

>>6806397
What the fuck....
Runway or crazy art show stuff, maybe. But to wear that out in public like to class, work, doing errands? No. Just. No, That is the weirdest thing you've posted yet.

>>6806390
>Pantone declared Emerald as 2013’s Color of the Year…and since we’re also celebrating the Year of The Snake, this week’s DIY links both milestones together and keeps you up-to-date with a tassel necklace that would leave even Queen Medusa herself green with envy.
queen medusa
queen fucking medusa
and of course the necklace is ugly as shit

t-shirt to unhemmed cowl, what a cost effective craft

>>6806404
>Not even using fray check.

>>6806403
man repeller? yeah, that one would do anything for attention. I fully believe she wore this. probably with her ~marchesa wedding gown~.

>>6806407
And the best part is it was glued together, not even sewn, even though it was all straight lines.

Fray check is for sissies who don't live off a trust fund.

I don't even know how to sew but all this glued together shit is giving me goosebumps.

To fully appreciate this next one, I have to post their test blurb and the collage that comes before it:

>Put a little PEP in your step and a WOW in your wardrobe with a refined, sophisticated, and slightly sultry peplum skirt! These classic styles that were once on hiatus are premiering on the runways and back on television. AMC’s Mad Men is in one word J’AMAZING! Take style notes from Joan Holloway who proves that pencil (skirts) and pen (necklaces) are a must. Banana Republic is having a Casting Call for Mad Men… I wonder if Don Draper is judging?

>>6806419
have fun overheating and potentially passing out from heat stroke
seriously
why remove one of the more functional parts of a motherfucking SUNHAT

>>6806419
That constant editorial "we" pisses me off for some reason. I really hate when blogs that are obviously one person go on and on about what "we" love or what "we're" doing today or what "we" put together for you, etc, etc. It's so pretentious. You made that shit, you're not the fucking queen of England, use singular pronouns jfc.

>>6806419
Why would you do that? It's totally defeating the purpose of a sun hat. Hope they enjoy their scalp sunburn.

FUCK SEWING
CLASSY 1960S HERE I COME

>>6806419
b-but the point of hats are to prevent sun burns on your head

why would you ruin its essential use

her rice krispies treat tutorial doesn't even go over how to make rice krispy treats. she bought a fucking sheet of premade ones, then used a cookie cutter to cut them out, instead of, you know... SHAPING THEM LIKE HEARTS IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE

>>6806419

Nothing says class like $2 acrylic gloves with the fingers cut off.

>>6806404
it doesn't even look like lace but embossed paper from the scrapbook store

>>6806433
Curtains. CURTAINS. I just...why. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?!

>>6806438
>runs craft blog
>buys premade rice krispie treats

Used cat toy or jewelry

>>6806438
...There are like two ingredients in those. My cousin makes them and she's four. How much of a failure do you have to be to be unable to make them?

>>6806444
clearly she's channeling the spirit of scarlett o'hara, as she is so very classy and stylish

I always wondered i she ever wore this, or threw it straight in the trash after taking pics.

My computer is being slow and stupid as shit, but there's a tutorial on there for a gem covered phone case. I shit you not, you're supposed to arrange gems on a piece of construction paper, take a picture of it, send it to this company and they'll print the picture on a case.
They'll PRINT the PICTURE of gems you already physically OWN on a fucking case and charge you out the ass for it.
WHY THE HELL DON'T YOU JUST GLUE THEM ON?!!?
This has to be a joke...

>ISHYGDDT
>ohshitniggerwhatareyoudoing.png

>>6806297
I love how the things they make look nothing like the versions in the pictures.

Now /cgl/ knows the madness of psimadethis.com.

god, this blog, I just...
The saddest part is that it's not even like there aren't any good ideas, it's just that they're a. buried under a sea of crap and b. uniformly terribly executed. If she just did like one post a month and actually bothered to try, it would be fen decent.

>>6806433
Oh my sweet Jesus what is that.

Why the curtains...going to the fabric store would save you at least some of the misery from telling everyone you're that fucking cheap.

Pure class, I would hang this in my house and post a tut on the internet.

>>6806459
Confused me for a second. I thought it was supposed to be panties.

>>6806475
I thought that too! I thought it was like a creepy makeshift diaper or bloomers at first.

>>6806459

>I love how the things they make look nothing like the versions in the pictures.
>>6806464
>If she just did like one post a month and actually bothered to try, it would be fen decent.
This is the magic of the site. She's been running the site now for four years, and if she spent 1/10th the time learning to sew that she does refreshing polyvor, she could actually make a non-shit craft.

The final shittiest craft on her site, a necklace made with $10 worth of packing tape rolls.

Will the horrors never cease? OMG so many shitty ideas and tutorials from that blog. Whyyyyyy....

>>6806433
that is the ugliest goddamn skirt...

>>6806411
Hemming with gorilla tape... I gotta try this.

>>6806507

>>6806450
WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY WEAR THIS WHAAAA

>>6806473
this is like something you would see in a crack house

>>6806390
is this not blindingly obvious?

>>6806419
is this a joke?

>>6806507
Who would want to walk around with rolls of tape as an accessory? I wonder what goes through her head when she makes these things

>>6806550
Ugly as it is, maybe if you work in a shipping department of a company... your ugly-ass necklace suddenly has a use when you need packing tape handy?

>>6806514
you never know, you could parlay that into a bizarrely successful cosmetics company.

>>6806550
ttttthis guy

>>6806368
Looking at how people fuck up teaches you what not to do. It's like when they make you watch videos of car wrecks in driving school. We're doing that but with tutorials.

As a tutorialst I find it educational.

>>6806368
Because someone here who thinks one of these are the shit to use on their sewing projects can rethink otherwise and head off to the good tutorial threads to find a better alternative.

Ita threads do have a purpose to help teach too. The same applies to this one.

>>6806419
>>6806440
>>6806450
>>6806507

I don't understand.

This person is a troll, right? A joke tutorial maker? She isn't serious...right? Please tell me that she isn't making these things, wearing them in public, AND actually recommending that people do the same. She can't be doing these things in real goddamn life. No one makes shitty cardboard necklaces in earnest except 3 year olds making mother's day presents.

Please tell me it isn't real, /cgl/.

>>6806571
She's been on Martha Stewart and fashion magazines let her do tutorials for them

>>6806505
I read that as green crap instead of green cap initially. So disappointed now.

>>6806571
She probably is conscious enough to know that she's making tutorials for shit -- half of these ideas take less than ten minutes to come up with it. She's making money off of this by making books. Basically she's got a job and making money out of making shit and she probably knows it. Will she stop to put effort? Hell no. She's already making some with a tenth of the effort. She abuses glue like there's no tomorrow.

But of course to normalfags this is gold. Being thrifty isn't a new thing, and she feeds off of knowing that thrifty ass people and idiot Tumblrites are looking for ways to be all edgy and high fashion.

>>6806581
Not anon you're replying to - but you're serious, Martha Stewart and in fashion mags? Holy mother...

Wow. I see the things fitting into like, Family Circle or other mags where it's aimed at moms who want to do fun crafts with kids, but these are aimed at grown women who have to go out into public. What the hell.

Dare I ask if there are worse blogger/crafters than her out there who have achieved similar success for pumping out absolute rubbish?

>>6806581
>>6806592
Okay. Thank you for explaining. I just...I just need some time to let this sink in. I still am completely baffled that anyone liked her shit enough for it to be featured in fashion magazines and stuff. I didn't know the bar had been lowered that much.

>>6806597
And apparently was a judge for something called "craft wars" on TLC, but I don't watch much TV so I cannot confirm that.

As far as I know, she's the worst crafter whose fame isn't restricted to individual shits on pinterest. I still can't get over the fact that she runs a craft blog and doesn't even know how to use a sewing machine. My mom taught me to use the sewing machine when I was about 11.

>>6806606
>>6806581

>been featured on martha stewart and fashion magazines
>been a judge on TV for crafting
>does not know how to use a sewing machine
I need to lie down. I was unaware that people like this existed. And here I felt bad because I didn't line a skirt the other day.

>>6806606
Hell, it doesn't even look like she knows how to use a needle and thread, let alone a sewing machine.

>>6806433
Why didn't she GODDAMN IRON IT THAT IS MY PET PEEVE WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

>>6806619
It's so disheartening to me because her lame ass tutorials keep people from learning just how easy real crafts can be.

>>6806459
B-but... if you have the needle and thread... why not sew it?

>>6806494
This must be the most ill fitting and weirdly bulging sweater to wear now. Congrats you made yourself look like you're trying to disguise an underformed conjoined twin.

The answer to all of your "WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING" questions is simple: people are lazy. People are lazy and want to get credit for finding ways to put in minimal effort to make something. They're also unaware that the things they are making will last much shorter than if they just put in some more effort. These people are just lazy people telling other lazy people ways to be lazy.

>>6805599

W-who would even do this? This just screams someone blinding themselves by putting chemicals practically in their eyes.

I don't get it. Is that supposed to look good with the hair sticking out from the top?

>>6806705
>>6806732

She also needs eyeshadow, blush, contour, highlighter, nose lines, mascara, eyebrow thingies

>>6806473
At first glance that looks like a kinetic mobile of dangling used condoms. Gross.

>>6806680

She uses Boi-ing concealer like a boss, but also uses a Covergirl foundation which in itself is an oil leak and to top it off smells like a mechanic's shop. I used to use that shit when I was 16 and didn't know any better.

I don't get it.

>>6806450
I lost it at "click here for the how to video"

>>6806727
NOOOOO WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOUR EYES AND THEN PROCEED TO TAKE A PICTURE

>>6806861

I did, what's your point? She doesn't wipe it off and put on something better.

>>6806890

>>6806450
Gurrl, the only statement you be making is you doin crafts that make a kindergardener scoff at.

>>6806507
I go through this thread, cringing with each abomination, and think "It can't get any worse."
IT GOT WORSE. IT GOT REALLY WORSE.

>>6806861
She also wipes her hands all over her face, and probably didn't wash them. Guuurrrlll I wonder why your skin looks like that.

A couple of years back I saw a tutorial on dA where someone put acrylic paint in their eye instead of using contacts. Does anyone have a link to that?

>>6807041
That seriously cannot be true.

>>6807041
I fucking loved that game so much. So disspointing i will never be able to cosplay as Catherine becuase i am not qt and totally wrong body.

>>6806606
>My mom taught me to use the sewing machine when I was about 11.

But seriously, she's over complicating things due to her lack of basic knowledge. Bitch needs to learn how to sew stat.

>>6807041
Women, keeping doctors busy since the 1400s. Keep it up, girls.

>>6807041
Are you talking about the one that cut one of the little plastic domes off the bottom of a Coke bottle, painted it and put it in their eye? (And advised others to do the same)
Because I'd hate to think more than one person thought that could be good idea.

>>6807070
Oh man, I remember that. Surely that guy is blind by now.

>>6807070
That was the one I thought they were talking about. Seriously, how can people stick up this shit in their eyes? I'm a bit paranoid about my circle lenses because my base curve is a bit larger than the lenses, and I never wear them if they irritate my eyes and never for more than 5 hours without giving my eyes a rest. I just don't understand how someone could stick up pet bottle scrap and homedyed lenses in their eyes...

>>6806952

I suddenly feel like you are the girl who made the tutorial or maybe you're just having eye problems or probably lacking common sense.

Please refer to what >>6807034 said.

Also to be very blunt. Her final makeup looks like shit and she did it sloppily. Her wig is also messed up and she didnt even bother to comb the bangs and there was absolutely NO difference between her before and after pictures.

Look at the beginning of part 2 where she says something about cutesy eyeshapes. She said she'll show people how to do the technique but she didnt and what she did looked bad and was overly thick because she obviously couldnt line her eyes properly and covered her entire lid instead.

She didnt put on mascara, eyeshadow or blush on. She was also making that annoying duckface the whole time. If you're gonna make a tutorial that means you are doing it to teach other people to do nice/functional things or make them look better. Not make them look like greasy shit.

That explanation enough for you?

>>6806419
nigga no

>>6806727
That is the single dumbest thing I have ever seen.

>>6805847
Holy fuck I'm Malaysian and most of my classmates use circle lenses.
They all told me the cheapest they could get is RM15 and they're usually cost RM25 and above
But then again I'm in East Malaysia so everything costs more than in Peninsular and taking that Malaysia likes to plagiarize products into consideration, I guess it's possible huh

>>6806680
>I have a habit of scratching my face and scalp when it gets too oily/itchy, so occasionally I get really bad acne
No, it's because your hair is on your fucking face. Why do so many people not realise that having a fringe/bangs can cause acne?

>>6807100
...the anon you're arguing with is agreeing with that sentiment. she's saying it looks like shit. what is reading comprehension

There is a way to do it with just tension on your machine. Basicly turn your tension all the way up and use the longest stitch.

I was amazed, and pissed I found out about it after I finished making a fucking tutu. All the gathers...

>>6806654
Does that mean castor oil can blind people? I wanted to use them for longer lashes

>>6807305
I've considered registering psimadethisbetter.com and re-doing her shit tutorials to show how easy it is to do things correctly, but
a) it would cost real money
b) it would be hard to promote without pissing off the very people who need to see it and
c) it would take away a disproportionate amount of time from my own work.

>>6807100
You think I'm the person that made the video because I said she has horrible makeup choices?

Read what I wrote again please.

As in, I don't get it how she can make such a bad foundation product decision if she uses a higher end concealer. No where anywhere did I say it looked good.

well you're dumb then. You're only meant to keep lenses for a year MAX or sometimes only 3 months. Of course they disintegrated after 2 years.

I read once that centuries ago, ladies used to bleach their hair by putting lemon juice in it, wearing large sunhats with the top cut out and pulling all their hair through the hole and spreading it out. The sun would bleach their hair but the wide visor would protect the skin on their face.

So I thought, maybe that's what she's going for? Except she didn't pull her hair through the top and even has it in a pleat... Just stop, lady.

>>6806390
Those imperatives are driving me crazy.

>>6807368
Dude, that's not a tutorial, it's an edgy photo.
You can find it in all kawaii bdsm / jAV circles, let's keep it thread relevant.

Oh my god, I won't even be able to stand this thread. I won't hide it. I have to see other people react. But I can't open this.

>>6806685
All I can think is, "She looks so much cuter when she relaxes her mouth, and doesn't try to make it all ~kawaii uguu~"

That before and after is hilarious, though; all that work, and it just looks like she put on a wig and some eye makeup.

>>6807557
if we're going to talk about bad ygo cosplay lets talk about how everyone uses fabric for malik's armbands.

but yeah, bad rings are a dime a dozen

The use of magnets to attached it to a belt seems like a neat idea

A domain name is only about $7. I think it would be worth it to show people that almost anybody can sew basic things, because as popular as that site is, apparently tons of women don't realize that. But even an hour spent sewing a purse out of my scraps is an hour more than I've got.

It's alantutorial.

From what I gather he's fucking crazy. His videos start out innocently enough, but they get weirder and weirder each time he updates. Originally I think he was supposed to be 'mocking' shitty youtubers, but it ends up creepy as fuck. there's nothing gruesome, it's just sort of sad, thinking he might really be crazy/in a bad state.

>>6807623
I should add that a lot of people speculate he's just doing this all on purpose, but sometimes you really wonder, watching these things... the one where he gets locked out of his 'house' is particularly sad

Does anyone have that resin case kunai tutorial where the guy makes a shitty leaky cast yet puts it in the tutorial anyway and then the resin for the final product doesn't even cure so it's goopy and fucked up? I still can't believe it got made into a tutorial everything went wrong.

>>6805903

hahaha wow.

>>6806297
hahaha how did they think "yes this makes sense, no one just makes studs that are way easier to apply, cheaper, and sturdier".

>>6806404
this one could be cute if the edge was finished and it had a better shape to the edge. a proper peter pan or pointed collar shape. as it is, it looks like the finishing for an old lady sweater

It's nearly impossible to read but this is a crossplay makeup tutorial, girl to guy.
The advice she gives for makeup in general arn't terrible but the fact that this is supposed to make you look like a boy, even an anime pretty boy is laughable.

>>6806433

What the fuck is this. Seriously. This site may be the most masterful troll the internet has ever seen.

>>6807719
The best part is the description of this on Deviantart
"Because if I see one more tutorial involving copious amounts of eyeliner and mascara, I'mma punch something. |:"

>>6806445
She's almost like Sandra Dee from the food network, who makes all her recipes from pre-made cakes and ketchup and bottles of cheap flavored vodka.

Step 1: Grab your eyeliner
Step 2: Put that shit all over your face as much as you can

Who on earth told her those pockets would look good in those colors?

>>6807736
The sad thing is that she kind of looks like she could be a really good Rinoa, if she just learnt how to stop using makeup so it looks like it was drawn on in Sharpie

>>6807681
why didn't he just use his wooden model and sand that down and paint it?! sage because i'm not contributing

Jesus Christ how horrifying.

>>6807736
I have no idea who Rinoa is, so I looked her up, and pic related..

She requires rather minimal makeup, so... tutorial-maker-girl is an absolute dumbass.

psimadethis.com actually has a few ideas that are sort of cute, but half suck or are SO fucking impractical. You can't put tape on shoes if you want to actually wear them. And the shitty glue she uses isn't a whole lot better.

How the fuck do people eat this junk up? HOW IS SHE MAKING MONEY ON THIS SHIT. I swear, these days being famous is about figuring out how to be the worst at something while passing it off as awesome.

What the fuck is this one even? http://psimadethis.com/image/41946709792

>>6807779
Oh and furthermore, a lot of this stuff is actually expensive. Why paint brads with nailpolish, if she's being stingy acrylic paint is like 1/4 the cost of a bottle of cheap nail polish...

>>6806197
glur your cicle

>>6807781

So all I got from this is "yeah just get cheap ass things and glue them".

I don't even know how to sew, but I'd still find this retarded.

>>6807781
This just needs blending, which is a very common mistake for newbies.
If she blended that shit it wouldn't have looked so bad.

>>6807784
well, most girls are more likely to have a bunch of nail polish bottles around than acrylic paint. the whole thing isn't about price, it's about being lazy...

honestly, a lot of the things on the site aren't that bad imo, if a bit too easy to think of. only the ones posted in this thread are plain awful. ...and anything involving tape and shoes i guess.

>>6807781
It doesn't look like something that would be for an actual Sailor Venus cosplay, but it still looks pretty cool!
The orange could blend with the yellow better but I think its colors are nice and it's really not that bad.

random crossboarding, but since we are in the make-up failure, /mu/ has something for y'all

it looks like button candy. that color with the olive jacket is so bad

>>6806390
all i see is how to make a cute purse look fucking cheap like you got it for 2.99

UGH

>>6806397
why doesnt she ever sew anything? that bothers me more than this ugly shit she calls fashion

>>6807765
I like her leather and lace vid but judging by some of the others I think that one might be a fluke

>>6806405
i actually like this one, but it makes me shudder that she is GLUEING EVERYONE ON instead of just sewing it. So can she not wash this shirt now? ever?

>>6806456
I can kind of see the appeal in that, because you can make the illusion of something 3D on the back of your phone.
But gems (presumably those stick-on rhinestone ones) on construction paper sounds tacky as fuck.
Take a picture of something cool.

does this P.S. I made this bitch know what j' means?
she keeps saying j'amazing which makes no sense. it would mean i amazing. that is dumb.

Maybe she's trying to say "I'm amazing" in a ~cool way~?

the harsh studio lighting is the only way you can make that much white liner work. Otherwise you just look like a half-assed mime.

aslo you girls haven't familiarized yourself with the "foreign gal" comm, have you? Half of them do this kind of creepy Anastasia Shpagina level crap.

>this thread
why.
I remember there was this one chick on dA who made a Hylian Shield tutorial that looked like something TR Rose shat out, and it got a Daily Deviation and everything. It looks like she deleted it, though.

The one where she puts chalkboard paint on a Kate Spade bag. WHY?!

>>6808065
Why does she demand to put studs on everything...

>>6808055
>>6808050
It doesn't look that bad...??
I mean, it could use a coat of gloss and she forgot the screws, but it's still not terrible, unless there's something I'm missing.

>>6808065
I generally don't give a shit about designer bags or anything but, goddamn, that looked like a lovely leather bag beforehand.

Maybe it'd be ok to do with a vinyl thrift shop bag you dropped like $1-5 on, but I know Kate Spade anything is expensive and she went ant destroyed a perfectly elegant bag. What the fuck.

She doesnt look terrible, just plain.. This is definitely no need for a tutorial on putting on eyeliner and foundation. And Maybeline and cover girl always broke me out. I had to switch to bb cream and noticed my cheek acne went away almost immediately.

she's cute, but this make up is plain. she looks washed out

>>6806727
>Soaking contacts in food coloring

Give this man a darwin honorable mention

I wanted to start a "Shit Tutorials" blog once. Though not just for cosplay, for anything.

One example being Darkbasic. The box says "results in minutes". The "results in minutes" being a tutorial on how to open a pre-made file and run it. Well, yeah, but that's not quite the same as a step-by-step walkthrough, explaining what everything does, is it?

>>6808065
cus that chalk wouldn't instantly rub off on anything.
cus that's not a waste of a beautiful bag.
cus those stupid fucking studs wouldn't make it jab you if you carried it underarm or become hilariously unbalanced when set down.
stupid.

>>6807122
what are hooks and eyes..
what are snaps..

>>6807118
what this shit snap apart in 5 minutes.
hot glue will barely hold this shitty fabric for long

>>6807193
this bitch is the reason people think lolita = cheap costume bullshit

>>6808120
what? what? hot honey in the eyes? just takes one idiot burning their eyes and the honey sealing them shut for that to turn around real fast. can't wait for the news alert/alarmist email forwards about that.

>>6807197
not nearly as bad as the asian girl above, but nothing special. eh, 5/10 for effort. 0/10 because i dont read spanish

>>6807197
People who dont do anything to their eyebrows for characters with unusual colored hair.

>>6807327
haha

I actually made my lashes longer over the period of a few months using a liquid eyeliner that has a growth formula in it. i didnt believe it, but i liked physicians formula and it was only $11. After 4 months, i began to notice a difference without make up.

>>6808160
i'm honestly curious about what's worse : putting food coloring on contacts or directly onto the eye?
i'd think the contacts are worse, but i don't really know...

>>6807553
i like the magnet idea a lot, but why would it be so hard to find pokeballs? i mean, COME ON, are people that lazy?

>>6807565
haha,im guilty of this back in 2004 when i did Malik, but man.. I actually am planning to remake him and use worbla this time.

>>6807880
knits like that dont need a hem, they will not fray. Buuuuuut it is the ugliest thing I have ever seen

>>6808221
everything needs a hem get the fuck out faggot

>>6807681
the kit was $75 and this was his result?

>Do not use anything that isnt water tight

>uses cardboard box

oh my gosh.. why didnt he just sand and paint the wooden prototype?? things i dont understand.
Also, you can buy kunai for like $2 each at any online shop or chinatown nyc.

>>6807719
How is this considered crossplay make up. It involves no contouring.

>>6807744
i know, right? I dont get how anyone ever thought this idea was cute.

>>6807764
agreed. but man, there was no need to put on so much eyeliner. i dont even get it

>>6807754
this is fucking terrifying. All the makeup, and she still shoops her face at the end to look like a mask. I dont even get it.

>>6808223
lol not true, a knit with fleece on the back doesn't and neither does one with more then 60% stretch. Maybe google it before being stupid again? It will roll up instead of fraying

>>6807781
orange and yellow together can be done without being this trashy looking. She looks like she forgot the glitter lipstick and giant wig off to the night of drag.
I just have issues too when people put on just eyeshadow and no liner or mascara to make it look even. I've used colors like these before and blending in key-- also less is more.

>>6808055
aside from the annoying holes in the sheild, i actually like it. What exactly is so bad about it?

>>6808259
I want to know this as well.

It's plainer and cruder than the one Fiberglass Blades makes or something Volpin would make but it's not bad for a homemade shield at all.

When I think of shit props I think of that melting kunai from the tutorial here or shit-brooch-chan's creations.

>>6808209
geezous fuck, that photo..!

>>6808265
same anon from above. I know, right? I mean, i dont have access or money to fiberglass a really awesome sheild. I see nothing wrong with buffering up a decent wooden one. You can always raise the details and add screws, but i like it.

guys... guys... this thread, it's literally raised my blood pressure. I am just in awe at some of the shit people do, especially tutorials/videos containing anything where people are fucking with their eyes.

"PS I crapped this out"'s tutorials are ugly and useless but harmless in terms of bodily harm. Jfc people are almost eager to try new things to save a buck or two or try something magically new.

>>6808280
yeah, it's pretty scary shit

>>6806455
...if she wore it, the lines would be fucked up especially on that bizzare button panel down the side since bodies curve there. So it's probably in the trash or something :D

>>6808175
Well for one, it doesn't matter how the bag looks. Kate Spade is fucking expensive, and this is a massive waste.

And turning a purse into a chalkboard isn't a useful idea, okay.
