Hello everyone! Its Shappi
its so good to see you back here guys!
What is up! How its going
anything new?
Nothing much here
i didnt record much for a while now
Ive launched my Patreon
nothing new huh!
No, but in all seriousness, I did have a break from talking videos
I needed a break, I had a few urgent projects to finish
Mei to finish IEM Katowice costume to finish
and i also need some time to record and edit those videos
its at least few hours for one video
soo yeah, i had to disappear for a sec
and recently I was also a bit discouraged with new Youtube rules
my channel is small, i upload once a week tops
which is too little for Youtube, im not its partner anymore
no penny comes from the advertisment
honestly its not like i earn millions from YT
last year Ive earned...20 dollars?
but every penny counts
it gave me motivation to record beacuse Im raising money for a new camera
right now I record with vlog camera which has fisheye and poor quality
the closeups with it on costume details sucks
and i want to produce better content, better videos for you
on our FB group, Shapchat, where i publish more than on my page
backstage material, thoughts and questions
ive shared with you my frustration about it and so many people recommended Patreon
Im not sure when I will publish this video but as I record my Patreon is launched
We are rasing money right now!
You add penny to penny and we get... Camera!
i hope we can make it in some time !
Please dont feel pressured to do so! I dont expect much from this platform
Its more about that if you like what i do
my costumes, videos, tutorials
and you have spare 5 dollars , you can always join in
i will be very gratefull!
Also, my Patrons see everything first!
Full photoshoots, full videos , we pick together
new costumes or subjects of videos so its cool to be in this group!
if you dont have financial situation to join in, no problem!
im very gratefull that you watch me anyway!
the only that I can suggest is to share my videos with your friends
Maybe I can earn a few subscriptions and YT algorithm will notice
that channel is worth supporthing!
If you are a patron already, thank you so much for your help! Heart to you <3
Thank you !!
Patreon is a great motivation for me to work hard
so the videos and costumes are created every month
its a kick in a butt called WORK!
So jump in! Pictures, videos, derps, evprints!
Everything! I will leave links down below
lets finally get to the video
recently Ive decided that I want to start a consistent series on my channel
so why not to talk about 5 most important cosplay things?
I will try to talk about eveyrthing, tools, wig stuff, make up, how to survive a con
anything i think of
so lets go! Today i will tell you about 5
most usefull and needed cosplay tools
for 9 years of making costumes ive been working with various tools
from the most basic as screwdriver and scizzors, to things such as welding torch
but there is one thing that i do not imagine making costumes without
holy grail for cosplayers who finish their costumes night before the con
we dont know what sleep is, yep, i am guilty of that too
one and only lads and gents
HOT GLUE GUUUN
hot glue is one of the most usefull
glues to make costumes
it will glue 99% of things together
you can use it to wigs, armors, even can glue fabrics
but i beg you, dont glue fake leather with it, it always ends up miserably destroyed
hot glue dosent stick to that
i think its one of the most needed tool
when it comes to making cosplay costumes
its super easy to use, but be carefull with your fingers
glue is very hot so its easy to get burned
just be a bit carefull with it
wait untill the glue cools down
the glue sticks are quite cheap, you can buy a bulk bag of it and it will be very cheap
guns like it cost diffrently
it can be one dollar in chineese strore , like this small one
it was one dollar
up to 30 dollars for a really good one
mine, which i use every day, brand Pattex
was about 15 dollars
its workig great, second gun from this brand, Ive killed the first one
but with my intesivity of usage, its still good! It worked for 2 years
I suggest paying a bit more and getting good tool
of course you can buy the cheaper one
but for example, the same as this one im holding
it EXPLODED when i plugged it to the power
it was scary
i thought i will burn hotel room
but it wasnt that bad, i survived! hotel as well
SO pay more, get better quality
15 dollars is fine
Next tool, without which i cannot imagine my life
especially now in the thermoplastic times, will be Heat Gun!
when im trying to explain what tool is that, i just say " buffed hair dryer"
this tool produces stream of very hot air
which can heat up some plastics, thermoplastics,
eva foam, worbla
deco art, whatever we want
i often use it to heat up pcv pipes
so i can shape it
or making glue dry faster
but i keep it far from glue! just so its hot around it!
it works, wood glue dries fast ;D
you can use it for everything that requires hot air for project
you can also heat up a cold hamburger from mac donalds
when your roommate forgot to pay gas bills
and you have no gas, no oven, and you are hungry
yep, ive did that
true story bro, first year of college
dont be that student, PAY YOUR BILLS
i think that good heat gun will cost about 10 - 20 dollars
mine was 15 usd, got it in Castorama
some of you may ask, do i really need this tool?
i have a strong hair dryer
and i can use gas burner to bend pipes
of course, you can!
but with this tool is faster, more efficient, heat is spreaded more evenly
you wont burn it in one place
and with using hairdryer, no matter how strong, you will soend ages trying to heat it up
ive tried!
the same as with hot glue, be carefull with the hot parts
gloves would be wise to put on
to work with plastics or hot worbla
the tip of the tool is hot
next up!
This tool comes from this situation when you think that you dont really need it
but when you get it, your life changes and you dont know how youve worked without it!
im talking about dremel
i cannot live without, at workshop or at home
those multitools have a lot of tips to use
we get sanding tips, tips to cut, screw, polish, anything
there is lots of things you can do with dremel
i use it the most to sand down eva foam, worbla,resin cut plastic
they are too hard to cut with knife or saw sometimes
but lets not talk too much about it now beacuse ive made a whole video about my dremel before
i talk all about it there, i will leave link to it in the cards, up there
i also recommend getting belt sanders which are great with flat surfaces
dremels are super usefull but with sanding every time your hand trips you can leave an ugly mark on flat surface
be carefull with fingers, i also recommend getting more expensive dremel
i know that the cheaper ones are tempting
but the cheap dremel tools usually have very weak part for holding the tips
ive seen how the cutting tips fly from cheap dremel in the room
if you get that in the face... omg i dont want to see it
you will need some safety googles, you can even use sunglasses but its always better to get safe, checked googles from diy store
im using dremel 3000
its great, totally fine for my cosplay needs
it costed in a set , about 90 usd
it depends how many tips you get in the set
next tool that im using in more projects than Ive imagined when i got it is burning tool
it has this metal stick which gets really hot
before heating it up, you can change the tips in it
and the tips make it so special!
there are plenty of tips you can use to diffrent parts of the costume and techniques
besides burning the patters in leather, wood, foam, worbla etc
i also like to use it to make holes in hard plastic ( to not make noise in the night)
i also cut plexi glass with it
ovearall when its night and i dont want to make noise
the cutting tip is great for it
you can also burn the edges of poliester materials which will melt and not loose threads anymore
you can also use it as emergency soldiering tool but of course just getting the real one will be smarter
its only about 8 dollars
and the amount of times it saved my butt in cosplay making, limitless!
the same as with hot glue and heat gun, be carefull with the metal parts!
dont even try to touch it when its working, even if its 15 min after youve unplugged it, be carefull!
this metal holds heat very long
you will get burned badly
time for the last tool
its a must have in costume making
no matter if you ar emaking huge ball gown or armor set
every cosplayer should have one, and its sewing machine!
here! its my baby
i cannot imagine making any costume without it
of course you can sew by hand but its usually a horror - messier and more uneven than with sewing machine
with clothing costumes we just sew the clothes, with armors you can sew some belts or cape
my machine is very basic from Silvercrest
its enough for me, it has some diffrent stiching opton
its good with most of the materials, cannot really fake leather but i cannot expect too much from it untill i get a better one
its quite cheap, mine was about 90 usd
they are quite often in plish supermarkets so its wise to get it when its on sale!
its not only good for cosplay but also in your home life!
some time ago ive seen a video about this box in your machine
the one when you usually keep threads
this one
i always thought its for sewing accessories
but i saw that peple keep candies in it while sewing
gotta try omg ;D every day you learn
and thats all folks! My 5 most usefull tools in cosplay
if youa re a begginer, this tools should be all enough for you
most of them you can get in DIY shops, on Amazon or Ebay
its easy to buy them!
i cannot work without them
and i hope that ive helped you with this video
let me know if you liked this format! I have plenty of ideas for more episodes
i can still make it :)
i will tell you what is necessary to make wigs, cosplay make ups,but what else?
let me know what you want to hear about!
