Three months ago I bought this wig for Katsucon, and just now I realized that I failed basic reading comprehension and this wig has a center lace part.  Due to the shape of the part, it can only be moved around about an inch before you start running into the wefted area, but I really needed this wig to have a deep side part.  For the look that I was going for, I ended up having to do some surgery to move the lace part several inches away from its original position.  I took a few pictures during the process, which are under the cut!

(also please don’t judge me for how ugly my wig head is, she’s very old and well loved)

Super lightweight horns!

You can find this foam in a roll at Wal-Mart.

1. Trace the patterns 3 rimes For each horn in the foam.

2. Cut them and glue them together. You can use the spray glue or the same I use to cover the horns which in my case is barge cement.

3. Give the shape you want. I used sissor and to add more details a wood burner tool.

4. Once you have your shape cover is in barge cement or contact cement and let it dry for a while.

5. Paint it and you are done!

How to measure how much worbla you will need! (or any other material tbh)

Hey, I decided to write this tutorial since I’m a Worbla retailer and I thought this would be useful for both my clients and for people outside Brazil as well :3

01 - First you make the patterns of your armor and cut them in EVA foam (you will need the foam anyway). Make sure to have every pattern you are going to use for the project on-hand. I used those from my pauldrons’ details to make the example easier to photograph.

02 - Get some paperboard (or any kind of paper, but I prefer paperboard because it’s sturdier) and measure the size of Worbla you think you will need. Remember to use the original sizes as a guide:

•   Small - 25cm x 37cm
•   Sample - 50cm x 37cm
•   Medium - 50cm x 75cm
•   Big - 100cm x 75cm
•   Jumbo - 100cm x 150cm
  

03 - I’ve cut the Small size because I thought I could use this size. (now you have a sheet you can use for reference for future projects :O)

04 - Silly me, small wouldn’t work since I wanted to use sandwich method for those details. If I WERE to use folding method, THEN it would work as you can see in the picture lol

05 - Cut bigger sheet for reference and see if it works. Now it works! :D Now I know I can buy (from myself LOL) a sample sheet for those! :) (I just grabbed an actual sheet of Worbla to take the picture because I’m lazy, I’m sorry lmao)

SEWING tutorial (by AmenoKitarou (A.K. Wirru))

This is a trimming technique a friend taught me, that we like to call “Inivisible” trims. (The official name is actually called “Stitch in the Ditch”)

You know those characters who have trims on their design that have NO TOP STITCH LINES?? This is a way to do them.

Notes:

- to make the costume neat on the inside as well, hem the strip before moving onto step 2.

- use matching colour threads. For my costume I used dark green on the top thread, and had white thread for the bobbin. 

- the close you can stitch to the edge of the seam, the more *invisible* it will be.

- this can be done with much thinner trims too. Of course, it would become more fiddly the thinner it is

Just a short tutorial of sorts of how I pose for cosplay photos. Knowing your facial angles can really help you portray a character better, and give you more confidence. Practicing is also key!
