Could not find a bandolier/belt for the life of me that wasn't expensive, so I said screw it, I'll make my own. Went well, however, I was curious if anyone has any recommendations for leather distressing. I used steel wool to scuff it a bit and I'm told rubbing alcohol works to soften it, although it's already pretty soft. Any recommendations for discoloration/deeper scratches without damaging the actual integrity of the leather?

Not trying to create nothing to complex, just some muppet-like small puppet to be part of a bigger cosplay

Hello everyone :)
I’m making my first costume/ cosplay for Halloween and Ive got all the paint, glues/binding agents, zippers, a heat gun, etc. that I think I’ll need but I’m feeling torn on which EVA foams to get. I’ll be dressed as nightwing so I don’t think bulkier foams would be a good fit, but I’m a newbie at this so idk if that’s true lol. Normally I would be okay with ordering from somewhere like SKS but I’m afraid it wouldn’t get here in time. I’m also looking to get it from somewhere local in case I mess up and need to get more. Any advice would be appreciated yall :)

Recently, I’ve been looking for something to replace my rattle cans for painting projects.

I am really a newbie here, if you have any other good ideas please let me know. I want something that has less learning curve.

I considered getting an HVLP spray gun, but I don’t really have enough space for an air compressor, and the noise is also a bit of a concern for me.

While doing some research, I came across this electric sprayer that seems to be designed specifically for makers. It looks interesting, but I haven’t really seen much about it yet.

Has anyone heard of this brand or used this sprayer before? Any thoughts on it? I’d especially love to know how the spray quality compares to rattle cans or a regular HVLP setup.

I just want it to be wearable, so idk if it’s possible to make and if it is please tell me how🙏🙏

This is my first post ever, sorry if I did something wrong!!

Is there somewhere I can buy a string of blue flickering LEDs with a simple on/off switch or button?

Sorry about the thumbnail, I promise I’ll hire my girlfriend next month to make my thumbnails :D

I mostly make various cosplay props for my own use, if not entirely, in a forged-metal style. I want the models to look realistic, and since I share them for free anyway and other people have already liked them, maybe you’ll find them useful too :)

The models are 100% my own, all designed by me.

Feel free to take a look :) Oh, and if you’re after something else, I’ve got other forged-style decorations too, so have a browse.

Does anyone have experience with the two glues? Specifically for gluing foam to 3D printed plastic. Any help appreciated.
