I was asked to translate this guide by awesome Japanese cosplayer and designer Reika (麗華さん).
Major disclaimer: The original post is just a copypasted collection of tweets. Reika didn’t write down every single step of the process, there are some repetitions and overall a lot of mentions of the Japanese 100-Yen supermarket chain Daiso. You can find several Daiso Internationals in America (mostly in Northern California) but for those who don’t have access to those handy stores, try Walmart or general hobby stores!
Since it’s already spread over twitter, I’ll just leave the copypasta containing all of my tweets over here~.
■I will add a PS at the bottom.
But first of all, pictures of the finished product.
Some minor adjustments and fine-tuning might be necessary, but this is more or less how it is.Now some pictures while having it equipped.
Also some photos after I did various adjustments here and there. This one’s the most recent status (^ⅴ^)
MAXI YOU GLORIOUS GLORIOUS HUMAN BEING I AM SO GLAD YOU TRANSLATED THIS
it’s not a comprehensive guide but this is a good start!!
