Houseki No Kuni Wig With TranspArt Tutorial

Houseki no Kuni Wig with TranspArt Tutorial

I just got back from Cosplay America in Raleigh, NC and I’m really excited to share how my Amethyst wig turned out!  I watched Houseki no Kuni after seeing a bunch of lovely pictures of people cosplaying from it, and once I finished the show I started kicking around a few ideas of how I could make a wig that had a glass-like finish like the way the 3D models are rendered.

For a walk-through on how I made this wig, please read below the cut!  (Header photo taken by Coffee_cat_cat on IG.)

This tutorial, as well as future tutorials, will be cross-posted to my Patreon account! It will be 100% free always, but is another way you can keep an eye on my cosplay tutorials and write-ups.

Oh, hello. Where have you been all my life?

This is how I make my cosplay swords! If there are any questions, or if anything isn’t clear, feel free to ask me anything. The template I mentioned: sta.sh/21u4m1riua1s ((By the way, I’m going to Megacon next week!! I’ll be cosplaying as Alice Angel, Bendy, Vio Link, and Shadow Link!))

Annnd I'm finally done y'all!!! Damn thing almost killed me there at the end but I'm done!!!

Here’s a “life-hack” for you. Apparently concentrated Kool-Aid can be used as a pretty effective leather dye. I was making a drink while cutting the snaps off some new straps for my pauldrons and I got curious, so I tried it, thinking, “ok even if this works, it will just wash out.” Nope. It took the “dye” (undiluted) in about 3 seconds. After drying for about an hour and a half, it would not wash off in the hottest tap-water. It would not wash out after soaking for 30 minutes. It did not wash out until I BOILED it, and even then, only by a tiny bit and it gave it a weathered look that was kind of cool. Add some waterproofing and I’d wager it would survive even that. That rich red is only one application too. Plus it smells great, lol. So there you go, cheap, fruity smelling leather dye in all the colors Kool-Aid has to offer.
