So glad you found it helpful! And that's amazing that you're running a cosplay club, I think getting kids into the hobby is fantastic :D

@@SynergyCraft - yeah, they are so creative and unlimited in their thinking and they are sponges for info and encouraging each other, its been great so far and each one has chosen a character, have started assembling refernce material, and some have a part or two made- our goal is October school assembly this year.

@@keithlightminder3005 That is SO SO COOL! What a fantastic idea for them! :)

I NEED to go to your school

Aw, thank you!! I'm glad you enjoy my content and my cosplays! And yes, I'll definitely be at Nebraskon :) I'll post stuff relating to my Nebkon cosplays as I work on them later this year. So awesome!

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! And HELL YES! The only person whose opinion matters is your own. Best of luck on your cosplay!

LMFAO OH WOW. That is creepy. My cat was having a manic episode while I was filming (tbh she usually does) and had jumped on top of my desk and jostled stuff around so I fixed it. Sorry to spook ya! Pretty funny though.

Thank you! I'm obsessed with the ward, it lights up as well!

Like I said, at a convention, no one is going to judge you for cosplaying! There's so many benefits to being in cosplay at a con, particularly that just wearing a costume is a huge icebreaker for you to get to know new friends. YOU CAN DO IT!

Where are you shopping? go to tntcosplaysupply, wherever you're shopping for foam is the wrong place if you're paying that much.

Hey! Personally I can't wear colored contacts as I have mild astigmatism, so I don't have any personal experience with that. I do have friends who use them and you have to be extremely careful with where and how you get them. Quoting the CDC here, "By (United States) law, decorative contact lenses, whether they correct vision or not, require a prescription and proper fitting from an eye doctor. Any type of contact lens that can be purchased without a prescription is being sold illegally-and can pose serious risks to sight and eye health." It might seem crappy to have to take extra steps when it comes to colored contacts, but its worth it to be as safe as possible when looking to buy some. Since I don't have experience with it, im not comfortable recommending a brand and taking the risk of the brand being unreliable or dangerous. But definitely do some extensive research on various retailers and make sure they meet required safety standards! Best of luck to you with it, and i apologize that I couldn't be more helpful with this one! ❤

@@SynergyCraft Thank you! I was trying to do research on buying some, but I couldn't find anything about what the best thing to do is. I will definitely look into that stuff so I can try to get a better grasp on what to do for those! Thank you anyway!! (Also love the video, it helped me get a better understanding of what I can do!)

You can cosplay at any age! There's no too young or too old, if you wanna cosplay at any age, you totally can! :)

Yes! Its totally fine to buy your cosplays. 🙂

@@SynergyCraft ok! thank you its just a lot of people look down on people who buy their cosplay and i feel like i would get judged but thank you!

There are judgy people in all hobbies, dont worry about them, just do what makes you happy! ❤

That cat is a menace!! Taking a legit sewing class sounds really fun, all I had was a very unhelpful public school home ec class when I was in 8th grade. It was so stressful, haha.

You're super welcome! :)

Definitely! What cosplay do you want to make?

SynergyCraft I want to make an oc

You totally can! Start with lots of sketches, with an OC the design is all in your hands :D super creative idea!

Most conventions require shoes to be worn, so a lot of people go with flip flops (you can find clear or flesh toned ones online with a bit of searching) 😁

A big stick certainly could work for a staff! It just depends on what kind of staff you're trying to make 😁 I would suggest if you do, to make sure it's really clean, and you might want to look into some information on whiddling/woodworking if you want to take the bark off. Super creative idea!

Waaayyy back in the day when I started cosplaying, I made a kimono-style top for my Pokemon Gym Leader Erika cosplay by using a store-bought pattern for a bathrobe and altering it! I made the bottom of the sleeves wider and longer, and then you can adjust the length of the whole thing as well, making it shorter or longer as needed. I recommend using some kind of cheap fabric (such as muslin, which you can find for 2-3$ a yard) to make a mockup first, check the fit, and then make the real thing with your good fabric. :D To make the obi, you'll just have to measure yourself and you should be able to make a long, wide rectangle that will work. I hope this helps!

I suppose that's entirely up to you - if you find the quality of the cheaper wig to be good enough for what you want to use it for, go for it :)

I started my KZfaq because I wanted to be able to share my crafting process and use that to help others learn how to make cosplay! KZfaq has always been there for me when I've been stuck with cosplay problems so I wanna give back to the community however and as often as I can. 💖

Idk y u don’t have more subs

Growth takes time! As long as I'm able to help people learn how to do all the cosplay things, I'm happy regardless of numbers :)
