I was able to test Uraraka’s props with the suit yesterday in my at home setup and I’m liking how well it’s turning out!!! I’m excited to do her boots next! Let me know if you’d like a tutorial on any of the prop pieces and I’ll put them up!!

Raphtalia Hair Accessories Tutorial

What I used:

Craft foam

X-acto knife

Gold Paint

Glue gun

Sponge cord (diameter 0.5cm)*

*This just happened to be something I had lying around. You could just cut some strips from craft foam to save buying another material. But from a quick search, the cord is pretty inexpensive (and I’ve used it in quite a few other projects because I like the rounded edge.)

This is a pretty simple project, so the explanation will be pretty short.

I started by deciding how long I wanted them to be. I used paper to pattern a rectangle. I estimated a width then rolled the paper to check I was happy with it. The dimensions I decided on were 3cm x 8cm

I used this as a stencil and cut two rectangles out of foam. I then glued them into tubes, by gluing along the shorter edge. Next, I cut the cord to the same width as the rectangle and glued it into a circle, then glued it to the foam tube (I glued it inside so you wouldn’t see messy lumps of glue on the viewable edges.) I repeated this for both ends of both tubes.

Then I just painted them by sponging on the gold paint. To finish them off I coated them in mod podge (but I’m not sure how necessary this step is).

Tips for keeping them on! :

When I wore them they would slide off from time to time, but my lovely mother came up with the idea of using some duct tape, folding it a few times, and tying a hair band around it, so it would bulk up the area and keep the hair accessory on. I’m sure you could use something else, so long as it’s somewhat bulky when folded, but can squeeze to fit over. I’m not sure I explained that very well, so here’s a photo to help illustrate tha0t:

Here’s a shot of them on:

(Yes, my ribbon is not tied in this photo  😭)

Thanks for reading, I hope this could be of use to some people! 

I actually made these for a different cosplay almost a year ago, but because someone complimented them on my Raphtalia cosplay I decided to make this tutorial!

Done with Goblin Slayer's main weapon (I made a backup because you never know how a Nest is gonna' go), which means all the props are good to seal!
