Welcome Beings of All Sorts

Welcome beings of all sorts! Somehow, you have found this blog. :D I congratulate you on that whether it was through success or failure! My name is Madeleine Schmuch aka MadDog and I am an amateur cosplayer. I will also be your guide here. This blog came to be because I needed to organize my cosplays and constantly work on them so that I would finish them. I thought that if I had a commitment to post I would work more often and would not forget important things. This blog started off as being called "MadDog's Sewing" but has since then turned into a guide to cosplay and has taken on the new name "MadDog's Wicked Guide to Wicked Cosplay." That being said, I'm terrible with names. This blog should really be called "MadDog's Tips That She's Found to be Useful and is now Sharing on a Blog in Hopes That They Might Help Somebody Else in Their Efforts to Cosplay." That name fits this blog much better however, it was a little bit too long. Moving on, I've added new sections to make this blog more informative but they are almost all ongoing sections. (If you need information on certain things now, please shoot me an email. Email: wickedcosplay@yahoo.com) Whether you just want to follow my projects or learn how to start cosplaying, I'm hoping that this blog will be a help. MadDog out! :)

Props: How to Make a Stocking Cosplay Sword (Part One: The Blade)

If you have no idea where to even start with making a prop, this is the post for you. Originally, I was going to show how to make a generic cosplay sword but I decided that, "why not make something that I could use in the future?" So now I'm going to show you how to make Stocking's sword.



Materials you will need:
Cardboard
Posterboard
Scotch Tape
Exacto knife
Pencil
Hot Glue Gun
Scissors
Paint
Paint Brush


STEP ONE:
Draw out pattern for blade (blade only) and cut out with exacto knife.













STEP TWO:
Cover blade with poster board. Make sure the poster board goes exactly to the edges. I find it easiest to cut out a rough section, tape it on, and then cut the edges nice and neat with an exacto knife.




























STEP THREE:
Tape all of the edges so that the side of the cardboard are smooth with tape.































STEP FOUR:
Paint and let dry.

(Well, my blade is drying as of right now, so when I get some more free time and it is all dry, I will finish this how to. Until then, MadDog out!)
