I'm a cosplayer and maker based out of Brooklyn, NY and I'm here for the art school vibes. Let's talk about tips, tricks, and hacks that get us through those late night con crunches.
Thank you for this video. New to costume making and have start a lazy press station of sorts but there's so much I didn't know that I learned from your video. Also, the music is pretty on point with what I listen to in my shop.
This sounds (to me) like a lot more faff than just printing normally, drawing around the foam and cutting it out. There are more steps involved with this. I'm not sure how this is supposed to save time, especially when it requires more effort and also trying to not get ink all over you. So, not for me.
Oh boy have I been going through this, and it doesn't help that I've been doing creative sewing work for over a decade. I'm at a point where I have had the ugly phase already, but my energy levels now don't allow me to work the same way I use to. Trying to create the same level of work with less energy has been a struggle but I am trying to figure something out.
Trying over and over again and letting yourself fail is a good way of learning! I hope you can let yourself do that and grow to become the creator you want to be!!! And I'll be rooting for you along the way!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is such a helpful tip and will hopefully solve(nt) some glue problems on my Shadowheart armour. Love short and to-the-point videos like these, I've subscribed :D
Absolute life saver! The two projects I tried failed kinda miserably because of glue ruining the look. This is almost essential info and I'm surprised more tutorials don't include it. Thank you!
You'll actually get better results spreading it on thinner and in multiple passes. If it's dripping you might be using too much. Airing it out will thicken it up, but it won't spread as evenly which will give you a weaker bond.
When I save money to get more tools for my crafts, I will definitely buy this as well!! It will be amazing for the little things I need to do between sewing little details or seams!
I just got a 'what are you about to buy?' Growled in my ear. . . sigh. Guess I'll be fighting with my bigger irons (I have a travel one though which is handy) as apparently I *do NOT* need another gadget, no matter how handy it may be XD I will, however, be getting a pressing mat as that I do need.
Absolutely! True story, I have a similar squeeze bottle full of water nearby. That one is unlabeled. I grabbed it once and was wondering why my acetone wasn't working. Better that way than the other way around!
