I'm working on a Clone Wars Ahsoka at the moment and this is so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to put the tutorial together. You mentioned both 1" and 1/2" foam - which did you use for which parts of the headdress? And for those of us that can't buy from Joann's, would that just be a medium density foam?
@Jedimanda 8 жыл бұрын
+Camille Lyon (Chameleon) Awesome! I'm glad you are finding it helpful! I used the 1/2" foam for mostly the connecting sections. The 1" was used for the montrals themselves. Yes, I would definitely suggest medium density foam

I was looking for a tutorial that I don't have to use a sewing machine for the headpiece and yours is really great, the best so far I found, I'll do the pattern and ask one of my friend to do the sewing part, I can do it by hand but I have just one month be start buying all materials, and putting pieces together...

@Jedimanda 8 жыл бұрын
Hello Hannah, here is a full list of my materials I used Green upholstery foam (1" (1yd) and 1/2" thick (2yd)) White lycra spandex (2 yds) Brushable latex from FXWarehouse.com white thread and sewing needle hot glue in some parts quilting battling white and navy acrylic paint with brush For the crown (Worbla, paint and craft foam) styrofoam head and stand For patterning the headpiece, its honestly trial and error, I suggest drawing out what you think it looks like in cardboard or a rigid surface. Only draw out one side of the montrals and hold it up to your head or the mannequins and adjust from there. Then copy the same side on carboard and tape them together down the middle. The back is the same way. The key is to think in 2-dimensonal first then once you start sewing, the 3-dimensional aspects will start to form. The clone wars headpiece will be very similar just shorter and smaller. but follow the same steps. Good luck!

@Jedimanda 4 жыл бұрын
Hey there! I necessarily suggest it because I chose the latex as a sealer because its end result looks like skin. Plus it only takes about 2/3 coats. With MP, you wont get that skin texture and it could take you up to 10 coats. BUT you could totally use MP if you want. MP does crack though, just be aware of that. Good luck!

Jedimanda ok thank you for the insight! I’ve never used latex and wanted to be sure I was going in the right direction. If I could ask one more thing regarding latex, I have a big container of clear liquid latex that I’ve used for Halloween costumes. I’m wondering if that would work as well, or perhaps not since it’s clear?
@Jedimanda 4 жыл бұрын
@@malloryb1524 the clear latex would work just fine! But to be safe, before you spread it on the headpiece, I suggest making a small swatch piece of the foam and spandex together. Then spread the latex over that swatch piece to see if you like it. Try it with the MP too and compare.

Hello! The latex you want to use is "casting Latex" latex from FXwarehouse.com OR "monster latex" from Amazon. Other materials you need are 1/2" upholstery foam (1yd), 2yds of white spandex lycra, and basic blue and white paints. Don't forget your hand stitching supplies and various paintbrushes. Good luck!

I just got all my materials together and I'm wondering how you angled the top of the montrals (the little horn things on the top of the lekku) back, any advise you can give on how you did it would be helpful!

+Athleticdolly82 It's hard to explain, I know. Here is a link to my FB album with all my WIP pictures.

Just sandwich it in between the foam pieces. Hope this helps!

Did you use the Henson stitch to sew the foam or just the fabric? I've only ever heard of using the Henson stitch for sewing fabric (usually "Muppet fleece") and your link to the Henson stitch doesn't seem to be working anymore. My grandmother was a puppeteer and when she worked with foam rubber she usually used contact cement.

Hey there, this tutorial is fantastic, I am very close to completing my own head piece, boy were you right about the pattern! I was at war with paper for a week! I am getting some of the last needed supplies now that I've finished sewing. Question time: for the liquid latex, would you recommend the special effects make up kind or would the kind you'd find at a home depot (household type) work the same?
@bkworm1314 7 жыл бұрын
Whoops! One more question! How much liquid latex did you use? My head piece is smaller, (I tailored the size to approximate her age after she left the Jedi order.) But better to have excess than not enough

oh goodness, I'm not sure, because it's technically "casting latex". I would recommend you asking someone there, I'm sure they might have a suggestion, maybe something near the "window sealant" area. Don't use silicone, it will be too heavy.

Hi I've been hunting around for an easy tutorial because my sewing machine knowledge is little to none. I really like this tutorial, but could there be a way to apply this to a Shaak Ti headpiece? Stupid question I know. Also, could I modify it to make the headpiece moveable? Not freely but to appear slightly realistic. I was thinking very thin wire? Possibly pipe cleaners? Help. I'm new at all of this.
@Jedimanda 8 жыл бұрын
Yes to Shaak Ti, you would just need to basically make everything longer. Now in regards to making it movable. You would need to replace the stiffer upholstery foam with something like quilting batting. So I would recommend making the headpiece fully, when you are at the point when you are sewing up the lycra, find a spot where you can take our the foam and replace it with the batting, specially in the tails put (in reality, I should have done that to make it more moveable). I'm not too sure what the wire or pipe cleaners could do but I would recommend trying that out. Good luck

This almost looks too easy :) Please tell, how much latex did you need for that? Are there any secrets to applying it? Also, did you sew the spandex piece and turn it inside out or the latex as that good at masking the seams?
@Jedimanda 6 жыл бұрын
it is easy, just needs lots of patience. so I didn't use that much latex, just a couple of ounces. Just check out the links i have in the description for the types i used. I sewed the spandex direct on top of the foam piece. I did not take it off. Think of it as sewing yourself into a garment. make it fit like a glove. The latex will mask the seams but not completely. It still works great though. Good luck!

When you were sewing the lycra onto the foam, did you use the the henson stitch again for that? Did you seal the paint on the headpiece, if not did you have any problems with color rubbing off when wearing it?
@Jedimanda 8 жыл бұрын
+Summer Wendt I did yes, I used the henson stitch to stitch the entire thing together basically. I didn't seal it because I was in a rush, the paint hasn't peeled off yet from the latex. But if you get something on it and try to scrub it off with water, it does start to come off. I suggest selling it with a layer of Plasti-dip spray just to hold it on. Plastic-Dip is a flexible clear rubber like spray. Thanks for your comment!

Okay... I’m not the artsy type. I cannot draw, create, sew etc, but I’m watching your videos and they seem really helpful. I think I’m going to start working on an Ahsoka lekku soon. I like her lekku in Rebels but I’m not a fan of her outfit. However, with the new season (7) of TCW, she has a lekku that in my opinion is decently long enough for my liking and the outfit is much better. Well with the background information given, what do I cover the foam base with? Is that a layer of latex? I know this sounds dumb but I’m not an artist so I’m not used to different materials! Since I suck so much is there legitimate places that sell Ahsoka lekkus? Thanks so much for taking the time and t he kindness to share this. May the Force be with you!
@umbreon545 4 жыл бұрын
I am a novice as well but I believe she covered the headpiece in fabric first by draping it over, followed by brushing on special effects latex (used for special effects props). There are headpieces for sale online, they’re a bit pricey though which is unsurprising.

First off, your Ahsoka cosplay is incredibly amazing! I've roughly finished my pattern, but I have a question about the top of the headpiece. I noticed in your video that on one of the back pieces the foam reaches across the back of the head. Also, on the pictures on your Facebook page there is a seam on the top right of the back of the horns. Does that piece cover the "donut" and the empty space that connects to the front of the head near the hairline?
@Jedimanda 8 жыл бұрын
Thank you! yes you are right. there is a piece that covers the donut. There is a lot of seams on the very top of the piece because I knew not a lot of people could see the very top. Try to focus all of your attaching points and seams to the top and back. but yes you are correct.
