How to Make a Russia's Little Faucet Cosplay Weapon

You'll poke your eyes out smacking each other with weapons. My a friend had a fake sword fight with wooden

swords with a good friend and got literally stabbed in the eye. She suffered cornea damage, and we had to put

antibiotic ointment in her eye several times a day so it would heal and surgery would not be necessary to remove

the eye. Luckily, her eye did heal, but she suffered corneal scarring and now wears glasses.

Try and think of your cosplay weapons as accessories. Even people skilled at fencing use masks and other protective gear.

Now keeping that in mind, I found a link of a cosplayer as Russia and the weapon he apparently made. That might give you some ideas.

Advice On Making Neru Akita's Hair Piece

Here are my experience on making Neru Akita's Hair Piece.

Get some fabric. For me, I recommend felt, it's less floppy than some others and not transparent. You of course want black and blue. Although I guess if you made your Neru costume, you could use leftovers from that, too. Make a strip of black fabric, then make a strip of blue that will fit nicely in the middle. You can use glue or sew it into the center. Then I suggest using a sewing machine to sew it evenly into a loop. :) To attach it, I suppose you could use a bobby pin or two, or even a discreet clip. It won't float magically like Neru's but it should turn out pretty well otherwise!

Hope you can use my adice.

What Character You Choose to Cosplay

It is wrong if you want to find a character similar to you to do cosplay no matter body shape or skin color. As a matter of fact, it doesn't matter what you look like, just cosplay who you like! The point of cosplay is to not look like you but to look like the character. That's why you wear stage makeup, color contacts, and wigs.

Personally, I would never copslay a character with revealing clothes because it wouldn't suit me. Also, not everyone can afford to buy that stuff. Wigs are expensive. It also doesn't matter to me what colour eyes the character has. I cosplay whoever I want, so long as I have the right costume and hair (though I use wigs most of the time) it doesn't matter to me what colour eyes the character has. But if you were really picky, you could change it digitally on the photo.

So if you have any ideas, please share with us on my blog.

How to Make Wolf Ear and Tail Yourself

It is easy to make the wolf ear and tail youself. Take a look below from my experience.

1.Use a wire clothes hanger.... for the ears. This is how I would do it if I were you. Take an old head band... not the fabric ones but the hard ones.

2. I would take a wire hanger and unbend its form and reform them to look like ears... then attach the wire to the head band. I would try to use some old socks to cover them and maybe paint them.

3. Tail .... hmmmm I would suggest to use an old jump rope... put a hole in the bottom of your costume to put the rope through... you may have to spray paint it but that's about it.... one it won't trip people and you can hold it if you want...cut it as short or long as you want it.

I hope this will help you........

Tips to Cosplay Deidara

Recently, my a friend who is a cosplay fan asked me to give some advice about her cosplay as Deidara. She didn't know what nail polish should i wear Black or Dark purple? And Could she just add a slash to my konoha head protector and cover the sybol and leaving the slash visible right?

Personally, i love black nail. Of course, it i up to you on that one, but that would be fine. Just make sure you stay in character. There is nothing wores than Deidara acting like a Sakura. And you should also try to draw the mouths on your hands. If you could find a dove toy or statue of some sort, you should bring that as well.

If you have more ideas, so glad to leave your comments on my blog and I will share with all, so waiting......

How to Boost Your Height for Cosplay

Recently, my friend told me she is planning on doing an Assassin'creed cosplay, most likely Altair. Anyways, all the characters are pretty tall, yet she is only 5'3/5'4. And since the game  is in a time era before high platform shoes, she can't use those. So she worried how to boost her height a few inches.

Actually, you can try insoles, also called shoe lifts, to add 1-2 inches. Any more than that may be uncomfortable, but you can be the judge of that.

Otherwise, Make a sling that fits around the bottom of your chin. Tie it around something high and strong and hang yourself. Of course, you are not really hanging yourself, you still will have your feet lightly on the ground, but it will s t r e t c h you out. Hey, Barney Fife did it and it worked, so you know it has to be true.

Tips On How to Braid Her Hair on Your Wig

Many copslayers worry and don't know how to braid hair on wig. Actually, it is easy.

I wouldn't worry about braiding the hair, I'd just wrap/braid white tape (bandaid tape/white cloth) over the two long strands of hair and tie the end of the hair which was left unwrapped around the ring.

I've actually never "tied" hair around something before so i dont know if that really works but perhaps a smarter ideal would be to get some clear hair ties and use that to hold the hair together after you've looped the ring through it.
