Princess Zelda Cosplay from Breath of the Wild

Heya :D
Some of you might know already that last month I decided to finally create a cosplay, after 2 years!
I have stopped for a while and then most of the time during those 2 years I created less costumes than I normally do and almost all of them were original characters and not exactly cosplay....
But after playing Breath of the Wild (not gonna lie, I watched most of it on youtube because i'm not buying a nintendo switch for ONE game. I'm sorry but those reckless days are gone now xD)

But anyway the cool part of it was using White Worbla to make Zelda's armour & jewellery set (further known as Zelda's Bling) since it was my first time using this kind of technique!
You can see on the images  on the side and below how I made the EVA foam base, then covered with Worbla .

Pieces covered with white worbla (Pre sanding/Priming)        

This is how the pieces looked like after sanding for HOURS (yes, I know it doesn't look like it makes a difference this step makes a huge difference when painting) and primed.
This was the longest and most boring part of the whole process but it's super worth the extra effort to make it super smooth :D

This is the final result after painting :D 

I used golden spray-paint, acrylics and varnish to finish all the pieces.

Also ! I got to wear this costume during my holidays to an event in Faro, Portugal called MCE (Manga & Comic Event) I have visited this event before and I always really like the atmosphere there, it's a really nice and simple event and you get to meet a lot of cool people :)

Here's a special Zelda selfie I haven't posted in any of my social media :D It's a bonus for reading all of this until the end , I truly appreciate and I hope it was interesting for you !

I wanna start posting more so please give me ideas of what you wanna see :D leave me a comment below or find me on my social media pages at @elfscarlett

Happy Halloween 🖤

Hello Magical Creatures 💕
I haven't been using my blog in a long time and what better excuse than a Halloween post ?
This year I didn't actually make a costume, but I put a costume together nonetheless and I made some horns with worbla :)

I didn't make proper a tutorial on how to do them because it was my first time making worbla horns and I don't think I have enough skills yet for a well made tutorial but I took some pictures of the progress that might be helpful for anyone who's wanting to make horns with worbla :)



Time : 4 hours ( + 1/2 hrs drying time for primer/paint
Cost : approx £20-25
Materials : Newspaper, kitchen foil, worbla, PVA glue, Polyurethane foam, acrylic paint, heavy duty wire.
Tools : hot-air gun, scissors, Stanley knife, pencil, clay tools (optional)


Process :
Step 1 - I created the shape using newspaper and kitchen foil making sure both horns are similar.
Step 2 - Cut your worbla to size heat it and wrap around the horns
Step 3 - Perfect the shape by trimming the excess and hiding the seams with heat and molding.



Step 4 - Use a sharpie to mark the pattern for the texture of the horns and use the clay tools or scissors to emboss the texturised pattern
Step 5 - Prime with PVA glue ( I used 3 layers ) let dry and sand lightly.
Step 6 - Paint as you wish, let dry and apply varnish
Step 7 - Remove newspaper from the inside of horns and fill with PU foam
Step 8 - Cut the excess foam you're done ! :)

 

Here's the final result ! :)
