Tips, tricks and tutorials for making awesome costumes for less.
Cosplaying is expensive. Kind of goes without saying, but there are
ways to keep it from breaking the bank. I’m a broke college grad who
has a hobby I don’t want to quit doing, but I don’t have a lot of
money to splurge on costuming supplies. This has caused me to come up
with some pretty creative methods for making cheap but quality
costumes. My favorite rule to follow is the “Holy Trinity of
Costuming”: you can have a costume cheap, fast or accurate, but you
can only pick two out of the three options. I obviously pick either
“fast and cheap” or “cheap and accurate”. I’m going to focus
on these two rules of thumb and go in-depth on some costuming tricks
and sewing techniques as well. **** “Ask Me Anything” I will be

“Ask” box become too full it will be closed for the last two weeks
of the month while I get caught up on answering everyone questions
