Common Questions * Why can't I find a pattern like the character I'm cosplaying?
Commercial patterns are made for...commercial/mainstream looks. Rather than looking for something exactly like your character's clothing, look for basic pattern shapes that you can modify. * I don't have a sewing machine. Are gluing & hand sewing feasible options for me? It all really depends on your patience level and quality expectations. Glue isn't really designed to piece fabric panels together in the same way as a sewing machine (latex being the exception). Popular choices tend toward cottons, garbadines, lycra, dull satins, etc. As a general rule, natural fabrics take dye pretty well while synthetics don't take dye very well (if at all in some cases) . * Alternatively, can I bleach fabric to make the color lighter or to make the fabric white?

Wine Red works beautifully. Scarlet is good for some pinks and brighter red colors. Dark Green makes a nice mossy green color. Black is made up of a concentration of browns, so it's good for both dying browns and blacks. Rit powders in the Pink colors don't work very well on our fibers. Like the pinks, the Rit blue powders don't work very well either.
-HALF a bottle of Rit dye (no additional chemicals or salts were used). This Brown dye is actually made of Browns! Teal Blue - Epic Cosplay Wigs. Costuming.org. How to Make Crazy Gravity-defying Wigs (or at least one) A lot of people asked how I did my Jinx wig, so here's a brief tutorial.
Too bad I didn't take any in-progress pictures...d'oh! Oh well. My first experience with putting up hair in big horns was with Windy, and I learned the hard way that sewing to your wig makes it tighter; it barely fit over my hair and was very tight and painful. With this in mind, the first thing I did was to pad my wig head with newspaper and duct tape until it was approximately the size of my head when my hair is pinned up. I started with a mid-length pink wig with bangs.
I used Katie Bair's "Parting for Ponytails" method, minus a heat sealer (didn't have one, so I just used high-temperature hotglue and mashed the ends with pliers) and minus the whole caulk-and-cover thing (didn't feel the need, as the ends weren't sharp). Once the extensions were all in, I parted them and then used a hairdryer on high to get the hair to stay parted neatly. Now for the horns!
