Princess Zelda Cosplay from Breath of the Wild













Heya :D
Some of you might know already that last month I decided to finally create a cosplay, after 2 years!
I have stopped for a while and then most of the time during those 2 years I created less costumes than I normally do and almost all of them were original characters and not exactly cosplay....
But after playing Breath of the Wild (not gonna lie, I watched most of it on youtube because i'm not buying a nintendo switch for ONE game. I'm sorry but those reckless days are gone now xD)







But anyway the cool part of it was using White Worbla to make Zelda's armour & jewellery set (further known as Zelda's Bling) since it was my first time using this kind of technique!
You can see on the images  on the side and below how I made the EVA foam base, then covered with Worbla .

Pieces covered with white worbla (Pre sanding/Priming)        











This is how the pieces looked like after sanding for HOURS (yes, I know it doesn't look like it makes a difference this step makes a huge difference when painting) and primed.
This was the longest and most boring part of the whole process but it's super worth the extra effort to make it super smooth :D



This is the final result after painting :D 


I used golden spray-paint, acrylics and varnish to finish all the pieces.


Also ! I got to wear this costume during my holidays to an event in Faro, Portugal called MCE (Manga & Comic Event) I have visited this event before and I always really like the atmosphere there, it's a really nice and simple event and you get to meet a lot of cool people :)


Here's a special Zelda selfie I haven't posted in any of my social media :D It's a bonus for reading all of this until the end , I truly appreciate and I hope it was interesting for you !

I wanna start posting more so please give me ideas of what you wanna see :D leave me a comment below or find me on my social media pages at @elfscarlett

Stay Magical

Happy Halloween 🖤

Hello Magical Creatures 💕
I haven't been using my blog in a long time and what better excuse than a Halloween post ?
This year I didn't actually make a costume, but I put a costume together nonetheless and I made some horns with worbla :)

I didn't make proper a tutorial on how to do them because it was my first time making worbla horns and I don't think I have enough skills yet for a well made tutorial but I took some pictures of the progress that might be helpful for anyone who's wanting to make horns with worbla :)



Time : 4 hours ( + 1/2 hrs drying time for primer/paint
Cost : approx £20-25
Materials : Newspaper, kitchen foil, worbla, PVA glue, Polyurethane foam, acrylic paint, heavy duty wire.
Tools : hot-air gun, scissors, Stanley knife, pencil, clay tools (optional)


Process :
Step 1 - I created the shape using newspaper and kitchen foil making sure both horns are similar.
Step 2 - Cut your worbla to size heat it and wrap around the horns
Step 3 - Perfect the shape by trimming the excess and hiding the seams with heat and molding.



Step 4 - Use a sharpie to mark the pattern for the texture of the horns and use the clay tools or scissors to emboss the texturised pattern
Step 5 - Prime with PVA glue ( I used 3 layers ) let dry and sand lightly.
Step 6 - Paint as you wish, let dry and apply varnish
Step 7 - Remove newspaper from the inside of horns and fill with PU foam
Step 8 - Cut the excess foam you're done ! :)

 

Here's the final result ! :)





If you try this project please share your experience with me :) or have any questions just leave me a comment 💖

Thank you for reading ! :D

Love, Light and Magical hugs,

FEED DA PORO!


PORO COSPLAY:
Made by @elfscarlett
Photographed by Alfonso Cabalum


  I wanted to make this costume ever since I met Kelly and Jessica wearing theirs at MCM!

 The thing is, I did not want to "copy" or perfectly replicate their costumes, because, even before I saw them, I had an Idea of my own for a Poro costume, and that was what I did.

My costume was planned to be in a more classic style: longer and less tight skirt, and slightly bigger top, adorned with a leather belt and a classic ribbon bow.



Costume on the start VS finished costume

HAT WIPs! :D

MAKING:
This was probably the most simple costume I made!
In terms of patterns is super easy! Circle Skirt + crop top + hat! I had to add legwarmers too!
All was made out of white furr and brown stuff: leather, ribbon and felt for the horns.
The top has stretchy cotton on the back for easier fit.
The horns were cut from brown felt, sewn and filled with plush sponge, then I have sewn them in place to the hat.


COS-TESTING:

One of the ideas of my own I had, was that I would obviously make Poro with WHITE HAIR.
After testing I dropped the Idea and decided to use my natural hair for a little bit of contrast.
I am still indecisive if I prefer the white or blonde hair on my Poro costume... but the final shoot was done without a wig.

 I am happy with this costume...maybe I would have done arm acessories too! And made a more detailed hat too! And shoot this with my poro plush!
This was made in December 2014, so I have sold my costume to a super cool lady called Joanna Storm, and I dont't own it anymore!
Should I ever re-make it?

Thanks for reading!
