Hello fella's,
Here I am with a new blog. This time it is related with the bracelets. I continued working on them because they are my training material and I need to finish a Cosplay outfit before the 19th of October and darn, it is approaching fast! That day I will be going to F.A.C.T.S. (the largest convention of the Benelux).
Oh well enough blah blah blah... let's see how the work on my bracelets are evolving!
 |
| First I made my own Mod Podge with some old leftover glue (the blanco tube) and did 50/50 glue and water but it was still way too liquid. So I added some extra glue to it. Now it is better but still pretty liquid. Next portion that I will made is around 75% glue and 25% water! |
 |
| Then I hot glued the pieces of my bracelet together and ironed them afterwards (between sheets of flyers) to fold them into the right direction. (3 seconds of ironing and then you get around 10 seconds for heat-forming them). When that was done, I started with covering the bracelets with the Mod Podge. It took me half a day to add 7-8 layers on them. |
 |
| When the Mod Podge layer was done, I added the first layer of paint to it. My initial tought was making it gold or silver, but I hadn't it in my reach and I didn't wan't to buy it as it was just a test object. So I took the blue and it seems perfect for the cosplay outfit I have in mind. So lucky me!!! Now it still needs one or two more layers of paint and a layer of varnish! |
Greetz Binoshi!
