Still a begginer with making weapons and props. So on Sakuko's weapon, i want to make the spikes look pretty similar, the tutorials i find online are all for small spikes that aren't for weapons, what can i do to make it look similar? Any affordable stuff i can use? 3D prints would be great but it's so expensive to have all those printed here. Thank you!

  • You could use chopsticks and paint them

  • oooh, dangerous if you use anything hard but too thin for anything soft. nerf dart foam might work

  • id say foam or rolled paper but if the paper bents youll see it forever and it might be a bit dangerous to take into a con cause it can be pretty strong. not sure about that one

  • Use foam dowels! You can shape them into the spikes. They are lightweight and not dangerous.

    OH that's genius, thank you so much!

While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.

    It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.

    If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.
