I say this because this a special tutorial for all of your wig problems, like how to spike it, how to make curly wigs straight, how to dye it a different color, etc. Me, I'll be using the spiking tutorial because I'll be doing a Pride Lands Sora from KH2 and I'll be using his human hair instead of his lion form hair.

Cosplay Tutorial: How To Create a Keyblade

Okay, are you a Kingdom Hearts I and II fanatic? I bet you're going to cosplay (or for you girls, crossplay) Sora. Well, if you're going to do that, you can't go without a Keyblade.

Tip:
To be real honest with you, it's almost always cheaper to create your own Keyblade and let me tell you why. If you hire a prop commissioner, they will charge you big amount of bucks for a Keyblade. You know the term "you get what you pay for," that also applies to cosplay as well. So, if you're the adventurous type and want to try to create a Keyblade, by all means, go for it!

This guy by the name of featherweight has a WONDERFUL How-To Tutorial on the Keyblade. Now, it mainly shows you how to create the Kingdom Keyblade, but I guarantee you folks, you're going to be satisfied^_^ This person even gives out a visual step by step to follow along with the typed tutorial. I'm in the process of creating my own Keyblade, with some arrangements due do unknown places to purchase particular materials^^; Anyway, here's the link:

Cosplay Tutorial: Fursuits, Paws, & Feet

Here is a tutorial for any fursuits, paws, and paw feet! Just to let you know is that I've experienced the paws and the feet. The paws are not really difficult when you follow the instructions. The only thing I can say is if you want to change the length of the gloves, then all you need to do is trace your own hand only go outside your hand to your desired length. As a somewhat experienced cosplayer, I totally recommend this site for fursuits, paws, and paw feet. Here's the link to the paw tutorial of the site:

The only tip I can give you is if you're thinking about make the toes one color and the other part another color, just make sure that you have just enough of both fabrics before continuing. Now, as promised, here's the link to the feet paws.
