Accessories

Today I focused heavily on the accessories. I actually finished almost all of them, other than her broach which is half way done at this point. But pictures will explain everything better so with out further delay...


This is the white clay that the Cosplay website suggested. This can be found at any craft store. I bought 2 of these at JoAnn Fabrics. They were on sale and only $1.50 or so.


With a rolling pin and a clean surface I broke some of the clay off and rolled it out in a small circle. Using a flower clip art image from Google as my pattern I used a sharp instrument to cut out the flower. You can use a knive, razor blade, or any crafting tools you my be in contact with.


The result.


Using the bouncy ball I cut in half i placed it on top of the flower to make her daisy jewelry. You need 3 of these size flowers. 2 for her earrings and one for the front of her crown.


Soon to be earrings.


Using the same Google image, only much larger, I cut out the flower part for her broach that will be rigged into a necklace.


In order for the clay to harden and maintain its shape you have to bake it. The directions are on the package of the clay, therefore, you must get modeling clay for this to work.

After the clay was baked, all I had to do was super glue the bouncy balls onto the flowers. Super glue or epoxy is your best choice. It dries fast and holds the best.


Using the super glue I glued small jewelry hoops to the back of the clay and toward the top. Using dangle earring pieces I looped them in the hoops and waited for the glue to dry. The jewerly pieces were obtained from Hobby Lobby (or at any craft store).


Earrings: Final product

Crown: Final product


Using the other package of clay I molded the clay into a elongated ball. Then I cut the back off of it so it was thinner and had a flat back to place on the larger flower. Again, this has to be baked to keep its shape.


Broach: Semi-Final product.


Broach: Final product. I painted the 'gem' part of it and, though it may be hard to see, I have attached a jewelry hoop in the back with super glue and attached fishing line to make it a necklace. Since there is not place to attach it on the dress itself.

The last accessory for the day was the gloves. I am not as happy with them as I am with the others accessories. I used the white fabric and sewed them to make the bump detail. However, due to how small I had to make them it was very difficult to keep them neat and nice. Also, the material I made the detail out of is very different from the costume gloves I purchased. With not a whole lot of options I have to deal with it. As well as it was not easy to sew the detail on to the glove. It shows the seam and it is evident that the two materials are different. But it is just a Halloween costume and it will do. Here is what they look like:


And here are all the accessories:


The best part is all that is left is putting the dress together. ^_^
