Cosplay Help Thread

[Shay-Chan]

i need help, i don't know which cosplay to do for saturday
and everytime i've asked i never get much feed back

there are three cosplays i want to do, but i don't know which one to do

1)the prince of persia from the warrior within
2) stark from bleach
or 3) stark in his released form (looking like a pimp)

You could do the Pimp Stark, as I highly doubt anyone would actually do that. Thats a really good idea !

Frankii: Yes that's the kinda wig I'm looking for ^^ only me and my mum worry about it getting lost in the post if it comes from Hong kong ^^;

Lady Bahamut: Why not paper mache over the tape and then paint it? makes it sturdy and the paint can sitck to it ^^

anyone: 1. anyone who has bought from Cosworx (Sp?) wigs, are they any good? it's hard trying to find wigs from the uk but I was wondering how good they are because it looks like I'll have to buy a wigs from them ^^;

2.
any ideas on how to make this headdress? =3 and what to make it out of?

cosworx are touch and go with quality from what ive heard. professionalonly are good wigs but are sometimes on the thin side. thoif it helpsim regularly ordring from hong kong and everything turns up fine, if not u can open a dispute and claim the money back, and if u do it now ull have plenty of time to order another one

Does anybody know some stores that sell very cheap plastic jewellery/hair things that i could use for decora things? Not charity shops or primark? Preferably around the £2-£5 price range?

And also a wig for Nana from Elfen Lied. !

Wouldn't that sell toys though D:
I want jewellery and hair thingss

Arrgh! I think i'm going mad!

Does anyone know a place i can order approx 48" WHITE loose extensions for making extra wefts with?
The Silky Straight Kanekalon type is what i'm after.

I know there's "Doctored Locks", but the shipping is ridiculous! I just can't justify paying an amount for shipping thats more than double the price of the items!
"X-tensions" seems to be UK based but sells every colour except white or grey - meh

I did find "I Kick Shins", which is less than Dr Locks for shipping but not amazingly.
If anyone knows any better places please let me know.
I need to get them as soon as poss.

There just doesn't seem to be any UK sites with white available.
I'm tempted to just buy a second wig for shreading ¬_¬ ....along with my sanity.

I know a very good shop for selling dirt cheap crazy jewelry that would be good for decora but its in Essex. Its called Troll. And some toy stores do sell cheap plastic childrens' jewelry which would be good for decora; teddy bear hair clips and such.

my local toy shop sells plastic jewellery, i think, that or it was superbuys, either way, go to a shop that sells toys as you should be able to find 'toy' jewellery

That has already been swarmed
EDIT : I just got what you meant XD. Primark sells cheap things, so i already know about it. It also sells jewellery and hairthings for cheap. If you know what i mean

In general which type of wood would people recommend for it to be most durable? but not extreamly heavy? Also I was thinking of using a bit of metal on the guard since it has a small curved bit which movies when the sword talks would that be alright to use in term of rules wise??

I have another question. Where can I find free patterns? Or how can I go about making my own?

Thank you very much!!! Although I can't help you out on the wood thing though :S I had my sword made for me ^^;

There's a shop called Quarters (may not be spelt like that...) that sells cheap stuff. I don't know if it's anywhere else other than Liverpool though, so maybe it's kind of pointless saying this. Worth a look though.

Try etsy (the website) and search for decora. They have quite nice things for cheap.

Was wondering if anyone could do a mini-tutorial on how to make a head for a Doom Kitty cosplay.
One that I could breathe in preferably >w>
And with a few pictures explaining? Even drawings would help!
