Contact cement. Hotglue will melt if you’re in a hot enough climate

[Anonymous No.10676232]

>>10676170
As >>10676183 said, go with contact cement. It's amazing how well it holds so many different materials together.

[Anonymous No.10676253]

>>10676232
Well, to add onto that. If you try and contact nylon straps to EVA Foam (I’ll take inch thick garage mats for this example) you have to literally open the pours or the glue will just fuse at surface level. But if you have a solid enough strip of velcro, you should be fine. Flexible straps are more of an adjustable thing.

>>10676253
So like hot glue is scenario specific is where I’m getting at. Bill Doran actually has a semi useful video on strapping ;

5 minutes of your time if you don’t mind. But if you -know- what you’re doing, you can get away with contact cement.

How do I do pulled back hair in a tight pony tail with a wig without seeing the netting and such

[Anonymous No.10677768]

>>10677762
Get a short hair lace front wig, and style it back to slick mode as much as you can, grab some wefts to sew into the front or different positioning. As for the pony tail, get a matching weave clip on, you're essentially making a miku wig but with a tail instead of a twin tail.

[Anonymous No.10677780]

>>10677726
Abit of a followup so the sword comes in pieces that you connect to hold in place, I didnt know at the time that you had to glue it. So when I was testing it out to see if I can carry it on my back it snapped. Abit of an update also bought the glue going to see what happened overnight if it stays in place.

[Anonymous No.10677798]

>>10677780
That is the first time I've seen a sword that comes in 3 pieces..

[Anonymous No.10677828]

>>10677762
You need a pick a wig that is specifically made for that style. The reason you're seeing the wefts is because wigs don't behave like real hair. With real hair, each hair sprouts from its own follicle and can move omnidirectionally. Wefts cannot move like that because they're plastic strings sewn on a line that naturally want to lay in one direction. A weft that has "reverse wefts" will be sewn to lay upward which makes it perfect for spiking or styling ponytails. You can transform a regular wig into a ponytail style, but it's more trouble than its worth imo. Check arda, they have some specifically meant ponytails or spikes. Kinptasu Cosplay also has a great tutorial on high ponytail wigs on youtube

I did a quick check to see specifically for mahima wigs and saw this
Would this kinda wig be what in looking for or my best option? It looks weird but I guess my only other options are growing out my hair or doing short haired majima

[Anonymous No.10677924]

>>10677902
Yes, that would work. If you're willing to front way more cash for any upgrade, a lacefront would be your best option because it doesn't have that harsh hairline and will look more natural on your noggin. Or you can cut costs by learning how to add lace and ventilating any reverse weft wig by yourself. You've got options!

Here's some examples:
>Malinda CLASSIC from Arda
You'll notice this one has the reverse wefts I was talking about.

>Viktor CLASSIC from Arda
This one is on the higher scale of expense, but it's a lacefront ponytail like I mentioned. DESU I wouldn't choose this unless you're a stickler for detail, but this is what they look like.

>Calliope from EpicCosplay
This is also a lacefront ponytail for half the price of Arda's Viktor. It does have a widow's peak, but you could pluck out the hairs if need be.

Tl;dr You have many wig options and which one you choose largely depends on your effort/skill, money, and time.

[Anonymous No.10677956]

>>10677924
Absolute fucking 0 skill, I still don't even know how to wear a wig properly the few times I've worn one
Money wise I would prefer to not spend too much on a wig, even though it's probably more expensive then the entire cosplay aside from the shoes
This one looks pretty good though and it's cheaper then the ezcosplay one

[Anonymous No.10678213]

>>10677956
Yes, it definitely can be. Although the styles look simple, they can be so deceptively expensive to create on a wig haha. Anyhow, I think the selection you picked will work just fine! Good luck!

>>10677780
Yo, >>10677798 here.

Keep me posted on the sword, a bit of a thought before I go to bed but if it’s a 3D printed sword you should be fine to use DAP. That’s primarily how they attach 3D printed items to begin with iirc. My first option was actually to say contact cement but on plastic to plastic, you’re going to create more of a seam than you want to since there’s no pores on plastic (as far as I know, don’t quote me on that.) and the way DAP (as well as all Cyonide Acrylate related chemicals work see; CRAZY GLUE, MODEL GLUE, ANYTHING THAT ISNT THREAD LOCK) is that it literally melts two solids together to get a bond. I actually have a horror story from Space Marining one of my armors to me while the strap was attached, and it created an extremely nasty scar on my left shoulder when I removed the armor so... try to keep contact with skin to a minimal. Either way, happy repairing bro. I’m here in this thread daily so I might be able to trouble shoot a bit here and there.

[Anonymous No.10678316]

Anyone have ideas on how to make I-No's red jacket here? I'd like to avoid using clear straps bc I'll know it's there and it'll irritate me all day. Alternatively, do y'all think my ideas below will work out fine or are there things I should consider that I haven't thought of yet?

So far I was thinking of using a fuckload of interfacing, some polyester boning to retain the sort of open/baggy/floppy/floating look of the sleeves? Also planning on using clear snaps to attach the arm holes to the black shirt sleeve to keep it from slipping? (around where the brown strap thing is) I'm planning on starting off with a blazer base. I'd like to retain full range of motion, or at least most of it when moving my arms as I'd like to do some photos posed like some of her moves. I have red stretch sateen currently, would heavily prefer to stick w/that since it'll match the fabric used on the shorts and that sort of thing really irritates me if it's not matching.

Sewing patterns (just names/links are fine, i don't mind paying for them) are appreciated greatly! I'm mostly just stumped on how to make the sleeve parts, since I can't just do a standard balloon sleeve.

Also, how would y'all recommend trying to make the hat hinged so that it can open up like it does when spitting the note out? Seams/hinges covered ofc.

The gunpla autism in me is going off. You can actually fix that with some caulking or pink dry wall spackle in small doses, a bit of sand paper and be fine to repaint it to get an even color tone. Might be a bit too much work but if you got it fixed, you got it fixed.

Is it a Tuxedo Jacket?

>>10678316
My sewing knowledge is trash but as for the hat, what is stopping you from making it out of 3mm craft foam and covering it with red fabric? You could technically make the mouth move by installing a low budget joint (like literally a thumb tack) and have the black part for the mouth be hollow and then use speaker fabric right underneath it for a more natural anime mouth.

Otherwise I’m a huge GGXXACR fanboy so keep me posted on your progress with i-No, I do have a soft spot for her.

>using foam
It's too heavy and I hate seams where they're not supposed to be ;_; my perfectionism costs my mental health and wallet a ton unfortunately. I actually have a fabric hat and a foam hat, but I'd have to redo the foam hat to add the hinge and I'm broke rn lol. now that i'm thinking about it tho, the hinge might really help me get that wrinkled shape at the base so holy shit this was a good idea...I might just try out that Fosshape shit or something and cover w/fabric.

potentially yeah! I was thinking, I could maybe use some ribbon or smth attached on both sides of hinge to keep it from opening too far?

[Anonymous No.10678779]

>>10678316
Whew, that is some serious anime clothing logic you've got there. I can see why you're having a hard time figuring it out.

>So far I was thinking of using a fuckload of interfacing
I'd say go for the same type of materials used in hat-making like duck canvas, buckram, or another heavyweight interfacing. It definitely wouldn't hurt to put a wire through the seam at the top of the jacket. Boning sounds like a good idea too, especially in that top seam. The floppiness of the sleeve will depend more on the shape you make it as opposed to boning. It might look a little unnatural with boning in that area.

> Also planning on using clear snaps to attach the arm holes to the black shirt sleeve
I'd say to do it where the front of the jacket meets the shirt since that's going to be the floppiest and most unsupported area.

>How do hat?
Like so: https://youtu.be/rrDsPuDd9Fo
If I were making this, I'd probably sew a thin black top fabric to the red brim and then create the red overlay since it's already saggy looking. Or you can just paint the EVA and put the fabric on top with the design factored into your pattern.

> I'm trying to get this done by halloween :')
Oof, good luck! I definitely wouldn't be able to get this level of skill done in that time, but I hope the best for you!

use makeup to elongate the eye. try putting liner on the lids then extend it on the inner and outer corners so when you close them it shows up more and seems more intentional.

[Anonymous No.10678826]

Get a silhouette. They’re better machines in general and allow you to adjust the blade depth in the same cut. Cricut is overhyped and only got clout from sponsoring a bunch of cosplayers.

alrighty so ive made sin's dumb jacket thing before and you can basically take a full jacket pattern-- any will do-- and chop of the top part.
i tried to roughly draw out what each part would look like. if you use some same colored bias tape with a relatively stiff fabric on the top area the sleeve should hold its shape.

I have a 1st gen cricut (Explore one?), got it on sale a while ago. It works well enough for what I typically use it for (iron on/adhesive vinyl, stencils, lightweight stuff since mine doesn't support fabric cutting iirc)....that being said, I'm probably going to get a Silhouette eventually, solely so I don't have to use a cutting mat for most things.

I'm actually working on this cowboy over here, and having an absolute ball doing the mechanical process for his P90 (Which turns into a long sword) and his Long Revolver (Which turns into a rail gun). God help you though with Magfest, I went before shit went to hell and I got to meet Siivagunner, which was the highlight of the con. Never went again due to Hotels being over booked, and me being too busy to camp hotel phones. As for RS6, My highlight is always getting a headshot by literally just camping the most inconvenient of nooks and crannies much to the amazement of just about everyone. It is (or was) my favorite fucking Home Improvement simulator because of how dry wall works in that game. Game is kind of garbo though, I just literally play /m/ related shit more than I do anything else.

What's the best way to get black-looking eyes in a mask so I don't end up looking like picrel? I have a few ideas but I'm not sure which is best or most feasible.
>mesh/legging over eyes
I could cut out squares of dark fabric that I can see through but I'm not sure what method would be best for affixing it to the inside of the mask.
>face covering
Wearing a zentai hood underneath a latex mask feels like it would get really sweaty and uncomfortable quickly.
>makeup
Doing Batman-style raccoon eye makeup might work, but I'm concerned about it rubbing off on the mask or not being strong enough of an effect.

First you need to figure out what the material of your mask is. Then, google which adhesive to use. As for the material itself, do not use leggings. Leggings will be see-through once stretched. Follow the advice of the professionals: the furries. There's actually plenty of videos on youtube about which materials to use but I happened to stumble upon this link from one of the vids while looking for you. It's apparently quite popular: https://www.etsy.com/listing/644886623/3-x4-costume-vison-mesh-sample-size

Grab yourself a 10 dollar heatgun from harbor freight and a pack of card stock and painters tape from Walmart (Patterning) some push pins and you can start off on. Contact cement too. The gigantic meme is that you use 1/2 inch thick foam from harbor freight (or whatever Joann’s that sells YYH brand) but the reality is, if you can find a giant roll of 2mm, you can get away with way more due to easier flexibility. Here’s some ancient project examples to show you what 2mm / standard craft foam can do in the hands of an experienced user.

It's seems easy, but it's a bitch and a half project to get right. You need stretch fabric, the right needle, and a stretch stitch. Getting the finger tips right is always the hardest. The best process I've seen to get them done is:

>Cut out two rectangles
>On one rectangle, draw an outline of your hand in heat, air, or water erase ink
>Add seam allowance to this outline (remember there is stretch so not too much)
>Put two rectangles right sides together
>Sew over line
>Fit glove by sliding your hand into the rectangle sandwich (do not cut it out yet)
>Continue fit adjustments
>Double, triple backstitch over areas where fingers join
>Finally, cut out your hand outline.
>Trim seams and take notches from curved areas
>profit??

Bestie, I hate to tell you this, but I don't think you bought the right wig for this project. Having a lacefront will help with the hairline, but above all you need a wig with reverse-sewn wefts to get the lift for the spikes you need without exposing the weft track lines.

I'm making this outfit right now and structurally it's coming together well but when I bought materials I prioritized matching the textures true to the image rather than the colors. Most of my materials are on the lighter end since I anticipated needing to either paint or dye them darker when color matching.

I am working with foam, faux leather, gauze linen, cotton and suede. The foam is easy since I can prime it and paint it directly the right color. I'm not sure about how to make the other materials more cohesive though, I have a mix of browns, sands, and tans that I want to all be close to a desert gray. I'm comfy with dying some of these fabrics like the gauze and cotton but fear I won't be able to hone in on a specific color that way.

Recommendations for any individual material would make my day.

As an amateur cosplayer, you won’t get perfect color matches like that.

1. Gather reference photos from the show and cosplayers you admire of the outfits you're considering making
2. For each costume, write down every piece of the costume from top to bottom (this includes accessories, undergarments, props, etc.)
3. From this piece list, think about what you would need to make or buy it.
> If buy, it's helpful to list some places where you might wanna look or give a price estimate
> If make, include materials and tools. Separate this list further by what you have and what you'd need to buy.
4. Compare and contrast costumes. Here's some guiding questions:
>Do I have enough time to make this costume before my deadline?
>Do I have enough money to buy/commission the pieces, costume, or materials needed for this?
>Do I have enough skill or energy for this costume?

The answer will come to you quicker than you think, but if you still need help there's actually quite a few costume breakdown/planning tutorials on youtube.

So yes and no. I would say it's a bit of both. There are moments where the game kind of railroads you into a certain path, but it does open up quite a bit akin to Super Metroid. Also game isn't as hard as Fusion, at least Normal Mode isn't. Going for 100% before I attempt that.

Looking for help on dying a shirt. This shirt is a heather white/grey, I want it to look like the pic.

I was planning on mixing a brown and orange rit dye, then adding just enough black to make it extremely dark, bordering on black. Then I'd use bleach to bring out the orange.

[Anonymous No.10687496]

>>10687278
I can't speak to bleaching/tie-dyeing, but I do have another piece of advice. One thing to keep in mind is that "black" dyes (and markers and such) aren't truly monochromatic, they're very dark colors.

It comes out as more of a rust brown irl when you use the traditional black dye + bleach trick. Like the other anon said, remember that you're not starting from the same white fabric base that most black/bleach dye jobs do so your results will be different. On a white shirt, the only dye being lifted by the bleach is the black dye whereas with your shirt, the black and heather gray dyes would lift which would likely create a muddled gray-brown

Anybody know anything about hair styling? I'm in desperate need of advice for my Sephiroth costume.
In terms of color, all the non-permanent dye I saw on Amazon looks like it'll make my hair too stiff for that blowy windy sorta look Sephi has, and I think it'd also wash out if it rains (which it probably will). Is there anything that lasts, like, only 3 days then washes out?

1) Get a wig
2) Look up tutorials on wig styling. Tip: If you're a beginner, don't go for accuracy, just a bit of teasing at the base and let the rest be
3) Don't use your real hair unless you just want to look like granny

4) Do a different costume, save this one for later

>Anybody know anything about hair styling?
No, not a single soul here has touched or even looked at a wig before.

>all the non-permanent dye
This is the worst possible decision you could make. You would need to be platinum blonde for it to even look remotely gray and even then, it's gonna be a muted gray, not the stark gray you need for Sepiroth. Further more, real hair for costumes is always a bust because human hair doesn't behave like wig hair and is a bitch to style because you have to worry about oil, tangling, comfort, and washing.

I agree with the other anon, either buy a prestyled wig or save this costume for another time.

To my knowledge, you would use the thinner widths if you were making a garment with toooons of boning like historical stays. With a corset like the one you're making, I think 1/4th or 3/8th would be fine. You can check out corset making sites like Aranea Black for help though. They have free resources and patterns. To my knowledge the material the boning is made out of it more important than the width as it will have some impact on how it moves and keeps for the future. I'm no expert, so I don't want to say anything with assurance but that's my understanding of boning.

> However I was making it into two pieces to be able to hand do the pattern on her bra (or lace top)
I'm a little confused as to what you mean by "hand do the pattern". Assuming you mean drafting the pattern yourself, you could easily add that on to the existing corset like a bustier. Considering that you will need an undergarment to wear under your corset anyway, it couldn't hurt to make it part of your lace slip. You'd probably just want to find a way to keep it fixed in the right position so the pretty lace doesn't slide underneath the corset -- also for nip slip security.

> However I was making it into two pieces to be able to hand do the pattern on her bra (or lace top)

I was either going to Handsew/Bead/do pearls in the pattern on her breast area on a blank strapless bra I got (I added lace). It has some support because I'm heavy chested and the Corset was actually meant for additional support since my underbust corset I patterned off made it so my girls don't move with the bra/Corset when I tried on.

I can definetely rethink what I was doing and also install a slip which I was thinking anyway since i've worn corsets before and know the feeling. I just wanted to give my Es support so they don't fall out and
be able to make it smaller as I lose weight.

They're certainly off-white, you can compare white stuff like his shoes or cigarette to see that it's not just lighting. I'd call it "dusty rose" since it seems a pale/light pink, a little warmer than khaki; you could probably achieve that color by getting white pants and lightly dyeing them (i.e. pulling out of the dye bath early) to get the shade you want.

Yeah, I can help. But I'd prefer if you have a bit more fundamentals or give a realistic deadline on doing this. Otherwise look up a Templar Helmet as your template for EVA foam. Obviously don't draw it out that way but keep the initial shapes. The top of the helmet, instead of flat, can be slightly curved and cut out as a circle, with the edge cut out at a 45 degree angle cut , heat formed and curved slightly to get the dome-ish shape. The scuba gear can either be tackled with foam dowel rods from Joanns if you want to pay YaYaHan the foam Tax, or you could use Walmart Dowel Rods if you have access to a hand saw or a band saw.

You -could- use PVC pipes, but I'm going to be real, you're probably adding more weight onto that helmet than you realistically should add.

first off, that site looks really cool, definitely need to poke around there because the prices are really reasonable and some of the patterns look sick.

I would strongly consider/experiment with using a really stiff interfacing in order to help it maintain it's shape. The big concern isn't making an oversized sleeve, but with it collapsing, right? if you use something stiff like 808 Craftfuse that mf isn't going to collapse (and you can line it so the interfacing isn't visible from the outside.)

If you can't find something premade, commissioning someone with a laser cutter or 3d printer is your best bet. I suggest looking at prop commission groups or finding someone on replica prop forum.

Where can I learn more about the japanese cosplay scene and the suits they build? I can't read moonrunes.

[Anonymous No.10691441]

I’m interested in making a Spider-Man costume based on his cloth black suit that he receives from Black Cat after Venom fucks off. In the Comic, it’s shown that the mask, shirt, and pants are all separate; I can only assume the gloves are also separate, as he uses regular webshooters anytime he wears a cloth suit, and the gloves on his normal suit are separate. Unclear on the boots. Anyway, what would be the best way to make a multi-piece costume like this that looks like a one-piece suit once it’s all together? Is it doable?

Not a lot of Japanese cosplayers share resources on how they build their costumes and what materials they use beyond the basic "this is made with foam". I can read moonrunes and every jp cosplayer I've come across on Instagram and Twitter just shows the finished product because the jp cosplay scene cares more about the look of the costume and cosplayer than the process.

What materials are good? Can I buy just any contact online? Please let me retain my vision afterwards

the best way is just to make it one piece. comic clothes don't always translate to irl and irl, you'll be able to see a very clear divide between your shirt hem, your pants, etc. you could try your best by making everything out of the same fabric but if any of your pieces overlap (e.g. your shirt goes over your pants), it'll be noticeable just because your clothes aren't comic drawings.

Fair enough. I’m thinking at minimum I can get away with separate gloves and mask that zip off at the elbow/neck, respectively, but if I do it wrong and the zipper is super noticeable then forget it. Ideally the top is separate from the pants because I don’t want a zipper running through either the front nor back spider symbol, but if it’s between that and the whole thing looking like shit then I guess it’s a compromise that has to be made.

These gave an improvement, but still not really clean. Any further ideas?

Gonna use Kryolan aquacolor for white face/body paint. Is it gonna last a convention day or should I do something to make it more resistant?

I bought some clip-on earrings and want to paint them black but the paint isn't sticking to it. If I leave it alone and it dries it'll stay there but the instant I touch it roughly the paint will start flaking off. Any tips on getting the paint to stay?

[Anonymous No.10691590]

>>10691577
you can't paint this, it's likely already painted. why didn't you get black ones to begin with?

I started off by looking for black ones. Couldn't find any that fit my needs.

Always powder and seal your makeup with theatrical setting spray. Theatrical setting spray is meant to hold the makeup onto the actors' faces for long periods of time under hot stage lights so it's way more effective than your Nyx or Urban Decay setting spray. For your body, you may want to consider arm covers instead because even with the best of sealants, body paint can still transfer and you don't want to ruin someone else's cosplay/hotel property/any merch you touch at a con.

Sand it first and then coat it with plastidip.

I planned to dress as Gomez while my now exgf was Morticia, but we broke up, so now the costume without a partner just looks like rich dude from the 60s.
Hence, I'm trying to find out what to dress as now.
I'd like to dress as a member of Toman, but I don't know what kind of clothes to buy that match the style (I'll worry about the gold details later). Any idea on what their clothes are made of or close to (thick fabric shirt, jackets, pants and such)? I don't like half-assed costumes.
Also, any other suggestion for costumes that are relatively simple would be nice, I'm tall and kind of bulky.

it's an unpopular/niche cartoon character, so unfortunately nobody is making custom glasses for him. the design IS pretty simple though, so hopefully finding someone to help me make it isn't impossible...
i'll look into your two suggestions, thanks!

Ty anon, I was stupid enough to not order the sealant along with the color, not sure I can get one in time now, but I'll try. Baby powder will have to make the trick if anything's else fails

[Anonymous No.10691806]

>>10691801
Baby powder won’t work as sealant! Go to a drugstore and pick up a few bottles of Nyx’s setting spray instead or go to Sephora and get a big ass bottle of Urban Decay spray. While they aren’t as effective as theatrical sealant, they’re better than baby powder, which will leave a powdery trail AND body paint streaks on everything you touch/everything that touches you.

Looking for some help with getting a good 1700's frock coat. I'm trying to go as cheap as possible here. (I'm a college student, so almost my entire cosplay so far has been sub 20 bucks) I have pillaged all my local thrift stores and garage sales for materials. Anyone have any advice?

If its a costume you can sew it like a normal coat and then edit the pieces. If you want to be historically correct you may want to get in touch with local/nearby reenactors to make it right

You can probably look up Snow Military cammo jacket and the sets should pop up. Not sure which version would be closer. not exact but its something.

does anyone have suggestions on how to make a dress have a more conic shape instead of falling flat along the side of the body?
i don't want to add wires because then it would bee too stiff

I want to cosplay Nadja from What We Do in the Shadows. Where can I find a Victorian costume? I don't want to spend more than $200.
