How to refurbish cheap synthetic wigs! | Tutorial Hey guys! It's Julia! Today, I will be doing my first tutorial! I will be showing you how to refurbish cheap synthetic wigs. This is in no way a professional tutorial, and it all depends on how bad of shape it is. (Cut hair, tangles, or bad treatment/washing.) As all of you know, wigs get very tangled. This is what my wig looked like. (I don't have actual pictures.) GARBAGE Ok, all jokes aside, the wig looked disgusting. I was 90% sure that it was unfixable. But, I was able to make it look like this! Now, the tips of the back DO NOT feel as good as they look. So just be aware, this is NOT for softening a wig! Also, do not use this for quality wigs, I don't want to make you loose you expensive wig. ;-; Step 1. Fill your sink or bucket with water. THIS STEP IS NOT REQUIRED FOR FABRIC SOFTENER, FILL THE CONTAINER WITH FABRIC SOFTENER INSTEAD.) Fill your sink/container with enough water to drown yo...

Roy Mustang Costume | Update

Roy Mustang Costume | Update Hi guys! It's Jewel!   This is most likely the second to last update about the Roy Costume. I have completed the sewing and dyed it. TIP: Do not use thick fabrics for dyeing. It does not get a very good color.       I used two fabrics for the shirt and pants. Yes, It's not very professional, but I ran out and needed to finish it. The pants, which were a loose fabric, worked very well with the dye , but the shirt did not. The shirt was very thick, and turned out as a light purple-blue.  OF course, I worked too hard on this to let it go to waste, so I will still allow JC to wear it. However, I will not be using it as a craftsmanship entry for the mini con. As for the full con, I will most likely make her another costume to go with my Allura costume. Perhaps, Keith will do. PLEASE learn  from my mistake!! If you're not sure, don't. (Unless you don't care, and by the way, I let it soak for an hour.) Roy Mustang Cos...

Awesome Cosplay App! | Not Sponsored

Awesome Cosplay App! |  Not Sponsored Hey guys! It's Julia. Today, I wanted to tell you about an app I use. It's called, Cosplanner! (I'ts also online) The app is free, but it has some purchases in the app. (You can still use the app to it's mostly full use.) You can enter a cosplay your making or wearing. And it has features like, adding parts of the cosplay to make. Or adding events to wear it to. It has it all! It even reminds you (optional) when to work on it or shop for material! (examples) You guys should all use it!

Voltron Legendary Defender | Update

Voltron Legendary Defender | Update Hey guys! It's Julia. Today I wanted to say that I started watching, Voltron Legendary Defender. I already love it, and I'm only on the second episode.  If you don't know what voltron is, It is an anime/cartoon (a Netflix original) about high tech space lions. It is very good!! IF you want to know more, go to the wiki. So, what I'm basically saying is.... you're gonna have to expect some cosplays! haha! NO REGRETS!!

Cosplay Contest Thoughts | Discussion

Cosplay Contest Thoughts | Discussion Hey guys! It's Julia! Today I wanted to share my thoughts on Cosplay Contests! This will be mostly, if not all, positive. I love cosplay and entering contests, so let's begin! At a local Mini Day-Con, I have entered the cosplay contest two years in a row. The first year as Link, from the video game series, The Legend of Zelda. The second year, (last year) I entered as Rose Quartz from the cartoon, Steven Universe. I have a lot of fun every single time I enter, and they get better every year! One of my favorite reasons to enter, is because I can talk to new people. I remember the first year, I talked to this nice lady in a beautiful cosplay. (I don't remember who she said she was.) We talked about ordering/making cosplays and I turned her hand a light shade blue with my badly colored sword. (It was permanent marker, Haha.) She then told me, "Never color wigs with permanent markers because it will look like someone stabb...
