Wrapping cardboard sword w/PAPER and glue water

I copied the epic cardboard props guys style (Raphael) to decorate my broadsword hilt.

(My old style on left, new style on right)

The little rectangles go on the pommel

The triangles go on the wings of the guard

The rectangles with the point go on the center of the guard

Wood glued them on, its surprising how fast glue dries on cardboard. It absorbs the moisture I'd guess. Its original decoration, I eye-balled what fit my hilt guard best. I wish I'd cut out the center of the pieces with a design, now I guess I can add details on top but it'll be super bulky. It is a paladin sword tho, so thats good?

I used a broken piece of a plastic ruler to define the edges, also a bamboo skewer. You really have to rub the paper in to make a flush, strong bond without bubbles, then work the details with your tools for a while. Its a pain, but super worth

I folded a large, long rectangle of paper over many times to make a belt. Then I folded one side over slightly (you can see what I mean in pic) to make a raised edge when I wrapped it around the hilt. I should have made it thicker, but it did the job.

I folded a rectangle of paper into a narrow but thick belt, then wrapped it around this end of the hilt. I did the same at the other end, with a bigger belt. I also wish these were thicker, but I can go back and wrap more later

This part was the most time consuming and frustrating. The details are so cramped and there are so many edges, I'll avoid this in the future lol. I still need to finish it, there are a few gaps you can can see in my photos

I'm glad I used shipping paper, I was able to cut a piece the full length of the blade. Using multiple pieces makes awkward seams which look okay but not great. You can rub where the paper edges meet to kinda remove the seam, but it's better to plan paper shapes beforehand

I cut the paper shape to account for the tip, cutting down on seams. Its tricky getting the paper at the right moisture, too much and it soaks your cardboard and drips forever. Too little and it won't bond to the cardboard. It just takes practice, but it's totally worth. Try it too!

Skekshods Hands 🙌🏻 sewed them out of thin leather and red velvet so thry fit to the hat xD

I already altered so many details on the outfit...it will be Skekshod in a different outfit xD I stayed true to the colors and forms though...

this time is that I had to make them look like 4 fingers instead of 5... I saw many cosplayers sewing 2 fingers together or simply making 5 fingers....I decided to leave the small finger without a claw and just in the velvet-glove....my idea was that it won't be visible that much (also velvet is a very matte fabric and it blends with the palm I think....this way it is comfortable and looks right... (I guess😅)

Get you a man who can do both Sorry if you’re tired of my #ff7r Rufus Shinra tirade because I am VERY proud of this outfit. After staring at screenshots and rough sketches for days, a rough draft coat and a lot more patience than I usually have, I am actually pretty happy with it. Sure I can nitpick myself to death, but for what it’s worth, I feel like I achieved something. More of this photoset to come ofc Photo captured by a Tseng who reluctantly took 30 of the same pose @tizzie.lizzie (not pictured: how bossy i am) Shoes by @demonia.shoes Moral support while being a wholeass Reno @go_ask_ash #rufusshinra #shinraelectricpowercompany #sec #ffviiremake #ffvii #ff7 #ff7turks #ff7remake #rufusffvii #presidentrufusshinra #diycostume #quarantinelife #cosplay #cosplaydiy #finalfantasyremake #finalfantasy #finalfantasy7remake #finalfantasyviicosplay #ffviicosplay #ff7cosplay #rufusshinracosplay #meme #iownyou (at Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CALBiW4Dvka/?igshid=s9xgdwoatrz1

This #wipwednesday I want to talk about my latest bit of nonsense. I challenged myself to do a quick and easy #diy miley morales costume for Halloween time! I decided last minute to do a miles and gwen cosplay with @katrinavera and all of the suits you can get quickly on prime have the Male muscles printed on, so u knew I was gonna have to get creative. I bought a black unitard from Amazon and a pair of sneaker wedges that resemble miles' and um using permanent adhesive and heat transfer vinyls to add all the red accents. I used my silouhette cameo to do the logo but you could definitely also use a stencil and cut it out. I'm planning to do a bit of a blender design and add accents along the hip and a red hood similar to miles' hoodie and Gwen's hood, and I'm gonna wear my leia afro puffs! This is gonna be so fun! I really want to do easy diy costumes like this for you guys more often, maybe if I get the time to do YouTube again??? #diycostume #diyhalloweencostume #diyhalloween #halloween #halloweencostume #sewing #costuming #cosplay #cosplaydiy #diycosplay #milesmorales #mileymorales #intothespiderverse #spiderman #kidarachnid https://www.instagram.com/p/B3sD9IiDQHn/?igshid=1egxp21anygw7
