<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>An inovative tomboy, that's for sure! Pop cans? Wow! I ought to try that out. Here's the rub...I don't think soft drinks. So I might be hard-pressed to find rings. But which method to you use to weave the links?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I hear ya there, I don't drink a lotta canned beverages either. I've been pimpin' my friends and co-workers for the tabs. Every time I go visit people now, they got tabs for me <P>I clip the tops on the top right rung, then bend them, slide the link (the second tab) in, and snap it shut. I tried soldering them together, but my method had to keep changing because of the tabs' irregular size. But man it looks fly. I'll put a link in my siggy as soon as the costume is done and I take piccies. <P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Anyone have ideas for shirts, pants, or boots? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>What are ya tryin' to do in terms of cloth/style? I saw a ****SPOILER**** <A HREF="http://img-nex.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/orig/7912_orig" TARGET=_blank>Eowyn/Dernhelm</A> ****SPOILER*** ::edit:: (if that link doesn't work, <A HREF="http://www.livejournal.com/community/lordoftherings/1454985.html" TARGET=_blank>try this one</A>)sneak peek pic and it was what I had in mind for the costume. However, the costume has leather and I don't wanna go out and buy leather, so what I'm gonna do is take material and layer it against thin padding, then sew it together and spraypaint it so it gets tough. The padding underneath will enable me to get all intricate prints into the fabric and the spraypainting will get it all stiff so it looks like leather.<P>I can't wait to see the end product!!!<P>Awe yea, if anyone wants to check out my first LOTR costume, <A HREF="http://community.webshots.com/scripts/editPhotos.fcgi?action=viewall&albumID=89541675" TARGET=_blank>Here's a link to my Ringwraith Costume</A>. That's the one in which I used the soda cans to make the armor (gauntlets and boots). RAH! Costumes ROCK.<P>[ September 07, 2003: Message edited by: Pookabunny ]<p>[ September 08, 2003: Message edited by: Pookabunny ]
