So far the corset is almost done but needs a few touch ups, the boning, and the grommets to lace up in the back.
But that isn't what is troubling me. It is her countless accessories and armor. Not many have opened up and shared what they did to make it. Except one person who showed that they used worbla... which is very far out of my price range.
My solution? I ran around Michaels, Joannas, a local craft store, and the dollar store. And I think its turning out very well.
Instead of investing in Worbla I found some cheap foam board at the dollar store. Its cheap in the sense that it is pretty thin compared to real foam board.
Good news is that because it is thin it bent and curved very well and retained the shape.
To achieve the gold look I actually didn't paint it or spraypaint it. I found big sheets of gold looking paper at the local craft store.
1) first I traced the shape of the armor.(BTW's use an exacto knife)
2) I made sure to add a half inch to the traced image
3) Cut it out(make sure it has the extra half inch)
4) I used a glue runner(like the one scrap bookers use) to hold the paper and foam board in place temporarily.
5) Made relief cuts so I could fold over the extra
6) hot glue gun everything that you folded over to the foam board. Don't hot glue gun any of the parts that aren't folded over.
And there you go, I did the same with the smaller parts. The ball looking thing didn't work out so I'm going to paper mache one that fits better.
So far its looking good. My range of motion is better than expected but it isn't great. I can only walk so fast but hopefully that will change with the addition of high heels.
