She isn't the worst crafter out there, but this video in particular has a lot of cringe. I want amateurs to stop giving out bad info like they know what they're talking about when they clearly don't.

>>8094886
doesn't matter if the end product is cute, and the video is good quality.

>>8094885
it always amazes me what rich white girls will buy for disney cosplay COUGHSdisneycosplayersfacebookpageCOUGHS

>>8094886
this is super cute tho, and a good tutorial.
how the fuck is she supposed to know (or care) that it's a bootleg pic? she's making a needle felt and needed a ref pic she probably just googled it, and Alpacasso has become the general term for an alpaca plush.
Wash out that sandy cunt anon, damn.

>>8094886
that alpaca is cute as fuck

>DIY horror thread
>posts someone making something in a cringe way
>SANDY CUNT, IT'S CUTE!!

I worry for /cgl/'s future.

>>8094951
literally only one person said sandycunt, the rest just said it was cute... which it is.
I smell vendetta, get out of this thread with yo nastiness.

>>8094886
>>8094951
Samefag vendetta

>>8094961
>>8094966
Literally no vendetta, y'all are just thirsty for drama. Jesus.

Enjoy the smell of burning acrylics, anons.

>>8094989
everything about this is so wrong

>>8094935
she didn't say "alpacasso" though anon she said "alpasko"

Found this on my fb feed, its supposed to be Rochelle's shoes

>>8094885
Here's a $119 dress to go with you wig.

>>8094885
Here's a $119 dress to go with your wig.

>>8094885
That's drag queen amounts of volume. However, $225 for a drag queen's wig is really cheap. I've seen a lot of them sell for $2000 and up.

>>8095001
the video is titled with "alpacasso" though, so she's probably just having a hard time pronouncing it.

>>8094885
Oh god it looks too close to the oversized mess the official Elsa wears.

ayy lmao

>>8094886
You do not know the true meaning of cringe.

Found this while looking for some short hair cuts in google images...not even sure how it came up...

>>8095022
This actually doesn't look too terrible. Or is this one of those "what's pictured isn't what you're paying for" type of things? Overpriced reseller?

>>8095002
what the fuck

>>8095023
But those wigs are lacefront and usually real hair if not super high quality.

>know many drag queens
some of them definitely over pay.
$2k is going into the gigantic wigs

>>8095043
That's actually really well crafted, even if it looks kind of off.

>>8094886
You're just grasping at straws and nitpicking, do you have some personal problem with this girl?

>>8094885
It's made out of jesus' ass hair right?

>>8095109
ayy lmao

>>8094886
Pretty cringworthy post, yes.

>>8095127
Agreed, I guess I should've specified, that the wig is simply too much volume for the character, and it's almost approaching the "if someone wanted to be drag queen Elsa" look. Still $225 is way too much for a non-lace front wig with simple styling. The same wig is on Taobao, Aliexpress, and eBay for around $25.

And yes, the elaborate, big hair wigs are what I was referring to as to the "$2000 and up" comment.

> not naming it regretsy thread
Shame on you

>>8094989
>>8095001
So wrong and ugly that i love it

>>8095621
>not naming it after a mediocre website that died years ago

>>8095652
There was a website? Didn't even know that, but the pun is still good.

>>8095002
How could you seriously think that it looks good? Jesus.

>>8095675
Yeah it was kind of the FailBlog of Etsy. It was even better when Etsy still had Alchemist where people could request crafts. Not sure why the whole site had to go down rather than leaving an archive somewhere.

>>8094886
i have one!
>pic related it's mine

>>8094989
this is scary

>>8094989

>>8094989
>>8096063
It looks like a kawaii version of that flesh column from Hellraiser.

>>8096135
Fuck, no words can explain my hate for this.

>>8094886
This is so adorable, the video is well-made and her voice is cute.
But how was your visit at the beach OP? Still finding sand everywhere?

>>8096135
Oh my god this is hilarious holy shit

>>8096135
Don't feed him after midnight

>>8094886
>Calling 'Arpakassos' anything other than 'Alpacas.'
>Because that's what they are, and we're all almost certainly white chicks without Japanese accents.

>>8096135

>>8095041
God both of them are hideous. How they became officials is beyond me.

>>8095041

>Disney pays a woman to dress as Elsa, and their design team creates a costume.
>Fat seagulls "B-but I could do it better! She's my fiction-kin!"

>>8096439
When I went to Epcot, I saw an Elsa that was x10000 prettier, even if her costume wasn't all that accurate. >>8095041 is a disappointment on all levels.

>>8096216

Isn't Arpakasso the brand name?

Girl should get a job with Milanoo

>>8096216
Isn't it just Alpaca plus "casso", like in Picasso? It's not hard to pronounce.

>>8095564
jesus isnt white anon
probs santa.

>>8096657
Santa isn't white either?
Pope Francis is our last bet

>>8095002
holy shit that is the saddest thing i have ever seen. god can only hope that the shoes were ugly before this

>>8096458
The real ones are called Alpacasso from Amuse company. The whole point is to get an original one (or several) because they are so soft, cute and fluffy, not to make DIY or get knock-offs.

>>8094699
I thought that was a thong from the thumbnail

>>8096135
idk if im laughing or crying rn

>>8096811
Isn't that the point of a brand? Usually higher quality too, but people are always going to replicate things unfortunately. I got a really creepy horribly made knockoff in a grab bag once. I wasn't expecting one just got the bag for fun. The thing had strange arms and legs I had to get rid of it immediately haha

$10 for the wings $8 for the skull and eyeball hair bow. Please. Sign me up.

>>8097243
Is that a paper bag?
Even if it isn't, you're gonna look like you have a paper bag on your head.

>>8096135
It reminds me of Esteban from the second life troll videos.

>>8096135
I feel the need to burn my phone...

>>8096905
Yep and I don't blame you, the knock-offs are often weird like that and are not nearly as soft either which is a huge part of the appeal of the originals, especially the big fluffy ones. I had some little ones as a gift from a friend but then got a big one for Christmas. So silky soft!

>>8094886
not a fan of the tail but otherwise top notch.

yeah never buying anything from etsy.

>>8094885
It could be worse...

>>8096135
That shit aint kawaii

kind of off topic but I just sold this on etsy for 150$. Do you think I charged too much guys? It's real leather, and took a long time on it. :c

>>8103712

Is it actual metal?

>>8103773
Yeah

>>8103712
Obviously someone bought it, so you must be doing a-ok. It looks pretty solid to me.

>>8103712
The etching on the strap and the cylinderish looking thing near the back look kind of rough imo.

If it's not part of a cosplay, the random gear and faucet handle unnecessarily clutter it and serve no purpose.

Everything else appears fine from what I can see in the photo. I think it would be better to sell it a bit cheaper imo, particularly if it's not in pairs. Your details could be better but it looks good overall.

>>8103712
If someone paid for it you didn't charge too much.

>>8103780
Thanks for the concrit. Appreciate it. I probably put 60ish work hours into everything. It's just not efficient to sell handmade gauntlets like that. They're so time consuming. I know people that sell shittier quality for a lot more.

Despite this, I know it should have been a little cleaner. There's always next time.

>>8103775
Thanks.
>>8103795
I suppose. I feel bad if I charged too much :/

Sorry to hijack the thread guys. Just thought I'd ask really quick.

OP out

>>8096498
This is so sad because she so obviously has a lot of potential. I hope she gets better someday.

>>8104215
i'm not a lolita, but what's wrong with it? Just a lace monster? It looks well made?

>>8094699
Anything "PandaFuzz" or "SelfProclaimedPrincess" shits out

>>8095022
That's actually pretty good for the price, which is pretty cheap if it's hand made

>>8094989
i love this its so bad id buy it

>>8095109
lmfao i think i know this girl

The mori girl tag is a fucking treat.
