So as some of you may know, RB Simms did a Vanellope cosplay very recently to add to a Disney Princess cosplay group we did. And once we got closer to the date we realized we were missing a very vital part of her cosplay.... Vanellopes candy adorned head! Ya I know... how could we possibly forget. Well running a productions company leaves you with those moments a lot.
So in my moment of craftyness I remembered how she had some stars in her hair and they looked familiar. And after rummaging through our 'going to goodwill' bag I found the old box of beads I'd loved as a kid. And guess what? The beads were perfect for small sprinkles and bits of hard candy!
So you'll need some stuff.
- A lot of bobby pins(enough for each bead)
- Lots of beads in bright colors with preferably round or cylindricly shaped. And some yellow star beads(I had these from when I was younger so either a craft store has them or your young siblings do.
- A hot glue gun or whatever heavy duty one you want to use.
- Oh and a peice of card board or thick paper.
Now lets get started! Its so easy its like one or two steps.
1) Take a bead and put a little bit of hot glue on the back
2) make sure the bead is going to be glued to the top of the bobby pin that has the shorter end that curls up slightly.
3) I had a peice of thin card board laying around that I pushed to the end of my table and put the bobby pins with beads still drying on the card board to dry. You could also use a thin magazine or junk mail.
4)though the picture shows wire cuters/wire I did not like it and I went s ddifferent route.
And now you are done! Sorry I didn't get pictures of RB wearing them :<
But here is the finished product
