Ashitaka also received another item in addition to the crystal dagger. Sewing with Wonder Clips is a fantastic invention. Clipping these clips is so much easier and faster than using pins, and they can hold a wide range of seams. The little marks on them for 1/4′′ seam allowances and 5/8′′ seam allowances make it simple to estimate or measure. I’m genuinely pleased with how the dagger ended up. The only way to make a mold for it (sans rope) and cast it with a more translucent resin would be to make a mold. The blade edge of my knife had been sanded to exactly where I needed it in about five minutes using a belt sander. Rain coat. Since my first attempt at the rain coat failed, I want to get it done for the next ECCC.

Tighter leggings. Although I made elastic straps for the top of my leggings, my initial attempt at making straps for my ankles failed. I couldn’t make them tight enough to hold down the leggings but also big enough to get over my foot. I was trying to avoid using snaps or velcro or anything that would not be realistic for the character but it meant that my leggings would creep up a little throughout the day and look bunchy. I’ll definitely need to solve this before next time.

I wrapped some red suede-like cord around the stone tightly to hold it in place. I was a little scared of it falling, though (Labradorite isn't the hardest stone) so I um... cheated a little by affixing little bits of tape to the cord and stone. Crude, but I didn't want to risk my stone. These are entirely up to you. You don't have to look absolutely like San, free free to take liberties with your costume. If you are on a budget, you may also be limited by what materials you're able to find/borrow/buy/make, so I suggest keeping your eyes peeled for anything around the house you can use.

And the final touch on the sleeves was the finger loops. This piece is critical not only to the look, but to making sure the sleeves and hand pieces stay in place. I spent a lot of time and trial and error figuring out the best way to get a loop of elastic onto these, but they turned out really well. To make sure my trim didn’t tear, I made two button holes with an empty button holer on my sewing machine. I recently mentioned how I won first-place at RenCon for my Ashitaka cosplay. Over the past year, I had published several work in progress articles over at GeekDad.com about my process for making it–everything, head to toe (yes, even my shoes) was scratch built by yours truly. Below is a slightly edited, combined version of all of those posts. If you like these write-ups, please consider joining my Patreon to get early access to tutorials, videos, work in progress pics, and more! The language is Japanese. As a result, tomorrow will be brighter. By naming your son this sunny Japanese name, you can encourage him to always look for the good side of life. When you hear the words Ashitaka, you might think of Princess Mononoke, in which Prince Ashitaka refers to brighter tomorrow.Trace the base onto more card, and cut it out, leaving flaps to help fit the base inside the triangles. For con safety and because I didn’t need it to have any significant draw weight, I also heated and bent the entire length of the pipe so that there is just enough give in the bow that I can pull the string and have it look realistic, but not enough that it really has any throw strength. I’m not sure what kind of wood this is supposed to look like, but it matches the movie pretty well. One of the most important things about building a cosplay, is wearing it to a con and learning where and how you can make improvements. These are the lessons I learned from the first con wearing Ashitaka:
