Want to put a non ponytail non lace front wig into a ponytail? Here are 3 different methods on how to do just that! IMPORTANT TIP: Make sure the wig head you’re working from is the same size as your head or the wig will be too small after the tail is made.
Here’s a “life-hack” for you. Apparently concentrated Kool-Aid can be used as a pretty effective leather dye. I was making a drink while cutting the snaps off some new straps for my pauldrons and I got curious, so I tried it, thinking, “ok even if this works, it will just wash out.” Nope. It took the “dye” (undiluted) in about 3 seconds. After drying for about an hour and a half, it would not wash off in the hottest tap-water. It would not wash out after soaking for 30 minutes. It did not wash out until I BOILED it, and even then, only by a tiny bit and it gave it a weathered look that was kind of cool. Add some waterproofing and I’d wager it would survive even that. That rich red is only one application too. Plus it smells great, lol. So there you go, cheap, fruity smelling leather dye in all the colors Kool-Aid has to offer.
WELL THEN!
this may be important to some of my followers *and certainly not just getting reblogged because of my costuming and my boyfriends desire for leather armor*
When I was in middle school we used to use it to dye our hair. Potent stuff.
If you’re dying anything with kool-aid it’s best to use SUGAR-FREE ones otherwise the thing you’re dying might get all sticky
the flavor only packets where you are supposed add sugar are the best. they will dye any natural fiber: leather, wool, cotton, hair, flax, jute, silk and so forth. heat the dye water so it is more potent. let dry then rinse excess out in cold water. there’s a whole system to this.
Oh my god
This will prove very useful for any future cosplays I wanna do.
How to make custom lace appliques – the “Frankenlace” method
A lot of people asked for more info on how I made the appliques that decorate the bottom of Zelda’s gown. Here’s my tutorial for the whole process! This method can be used to make all kinds of applique shapes and designs if you get creative with it.
These lace appliques are made out of other lace – hence the nickname. To get started, you’ll need to collect a few lace trims to use as raw material. Look for styles that are similar or complement each other, because you’ll be combining them. This is some, but not all, of the trims I used. I bought these in the LA fabric district, but most are available at trimexpoonline.com.
Cut your lace down into smaller pieces that are more modular. Don’t cut up ALL your lace – this is just an experimentation stage, to practice rearranging the design.
Using a template of your desired shape (I made mine digitally, but you can hand draw one too) practice arranging your pieces until you find a design that suits your needs. This is not my final design in the picture – I went through several versions before I was totally happy with how it looked. You might discover that you need more lace, which is why planning and experimentation are so important. When you’re satisfied with how it looks, it’s time to start putting it all together.
You’ll need an embroidery hoop large enough to cover your whole template, plus some netting that is as close to transparent as you can find. Most generic tulle is NOT fine enough to do well with this technique – the holes are too large and the tulle stretches too much when handled. Look for netting that does not stretch or fray, if possible. Put some netting in your embroidery hoop, tightening the surface like a drum. I taped my template to a small sheet of masonite to give myself a portable work surface. I also ended up using clamps to hold the embroidery hoop to the masonite, but forgot to get a picture. This is optional, but really helps the design from shifting too much as you work.
Tools for the next step: fabric glue (other brands work too), a small paintbrush, and a water cup. I watered my glue down a little to make it easier to spread with the paintbrush. Be careful not to add TOO much water, or your glue will be too thin, not grip well, and take a long time to dry.
Working in small sections, begin gluing your lace pieces onto the netting. Start at the center and work outward, if possible. Continue until all your lace pieces are glued onto the netting.
Here’s what mine looked like with all the lace attached! At this point, I flipped the embroidery hoop over and applied a second coat of glue over the entire back of the work. The netting is so thin that you can continue to apply more glue from the backside to get a more secure grip.
Optional: add rhinestones to taste. I used E6000 for this step. Not every applique requires rhinestones, but in this case I wanted Zelda to sparkle as much as possible.
Repeat to create as many appliques as you need! Zelda has 8 along the bottom of her dress. Here’s part of my assembly line.
When you’re ready to attach the applique to your fashion fabric, trim away some of the netting along the outside, but leave any “interior” portions that help stabilize the design. I simply glued my appliques onto the silk, but I later went back and hand-stitched them down for a more secure hold. After they are properly attached to your fabric, you can VERY CAREFULLY trim away the “interior” pockets of plain netting using small scissors.
The final look of my gown, after all the appliques and trim were attached.
This method is very time consuming and requires a lot of patience and concentration – but I just love the results! I wanted to achieve the look of professionally-made applique, but without access to industrial equipment, this was the next best thing I could come up with.
The white-on-white effect is subtle, but matches the look I was going for. Photo by Vontography.
I hope this is helpful to some of you in your own costume projects. Let me know if you have any questions, and good luck!
Dearest Shinning Stars,
S7ar has always been a group of love, respect, acceptance, and celebration of Cosplayers of all shapes and sizes. We’re a small group with a big dream and no matter our size or our image we aspire to follow that dream. We want to show the younger cosplayers just starting, to the veterans who’ve yet to find their footing that Cosplay can be a wonderful experience when surrounded by people who share the same passion. We want to show that no matter who you are cosplay is always meant to be fun for all ages, body types, skin tones, and skill. We are not the best, and we are still learning ourselves, but we share our journeys so we can all learn and grow together. With this sentiment in mind it is with a heavy heart to announce that our youngest and third member of S7ar Cosplay, Kai/Queens-beans, has been removed from our roster. We would like to ask mutual friends, and fellow Shining Stars to be respectful of each other and this mutual decision. We humbly request that all parties be mindful that there’s two sides to every coin. With this we send our friend off on her own adventures with the utmost belief that she will succeed in her future endeavors. Our roster as of 10/15/2017 is Faye, Lynell, and Eve. We hope you continue to join us on our adventures.
With all the love in my heart,
Shine Bright Shining Stars, Eve

hey there!! i know i haven’t been drawing a whole lot lately even though it’s been my new year’s resolution (long story short, tablet driver problems)
but now that i have it (mostly) figured out, i wanted to open up some $5 single character commissions!
but this isn’t for me
a friend of some of my friends recently lost her job and her car got totaled, so i want to try to help them and their cosplay group as much as possible!! therefore, every $4 out of the $5 will go directly to them (think of the $1 as like a tip of sorts? idk)
also, if you wish to just donate instead of making a commission, 100% of that donated money will go right to them too!
above are examples, but i’ll pretty much draw anything in my skill set, which includes but is not limited to:
waifus/husbandos
ocs (pokemon trainers, rwby ocs, fan vocaloids, your own characters, YOU NAME IT!! all i ask is that you provide a reference picture)
favorite characters (even if you’d like tendou or miku, i’ll gladly draw them again!)
gijinkas (pokemon, neopets, etc.)
there’s only a few things i won’t draw, which include, but are not limited to:
furries (i’m sorry, i’m not that great with animals! ;;; )
nsfw (the most i’ll do is pg-13)
super duper complex armor (fire emblem is fine, with adequate reference)
animals in general
if you’d like to commission me, please either send an ask here or an email to [email protected]
or, if you’d like to contact their group directly, they have facebook, tumblr ( @s7arcosplay), instagram (which i linked above), twitter, and a thiscrush!
i love my friends so much, and i want them to not have to stress about money like how they have been for at least the last few months (as far as i’ve known), and i really want to keep drawing more and more and get better and better!!
Thats the end of our Matsuri spam for now! <3
