Useful tutorials for cosplayers of the week!

Hello duckies! So this a new sort resource type of blog post I want to have done at least every other week. These will be useful tutorials to have as references when doing cosplays and or making props. So lets get going.
p.s. I found all of these on pinterest. Follow us on pinterest at Cosplay Confessions or follow Stupidity Reigns Pro.  or follow Lulu's. Sorry the actual cosplay confessions account is looking kind of sad, I(lulu) had some problems managing accounts and created two in the process on account of not being able to access one ^^

1) Knowing what type of glue to use for a cosplay is very important! Know your glues! This could cut your prop making process down by a ton! Read the full article on Designsponge. But either way keep their handy picture on file.

2) Modge podge is a timelessly trusted crafting and prop making tool. And those wonderful people who make modge podge thought it would be just awesome to add different finishes. Though the blog post we are taking them from is about a cute diy book its still worth checking out Cute spell book diy and original picture.

And last but not least we continue with our theme of useful crafting material tutorials. 
Now this one is less of a tutorial but really a mention of a fan favorite, Chalk. Now recently I learned that chalk can remove grease stains, who knew? Well they obviously knew over at the Life hacker. blog. But cosplayers also have another very useful purpose for chalk. It is amazing for drawing out patterns and marking stuff on fabrics. Now this doesn't mean go out and steal your little siblings sidewalk chalk, or dig yours out of the garage. I suggest the type of chalk teachers used to use on chalk boards which can also be found in different colors since white will not always show up on white. Look for it next time you are in a store that might sell chalk. 

This is the type of chalk that I find most useful without it being specifically for sewing(because that is out there too).
~ Love Lulu!
