Elsa Shoes Tutorial

Hey everyone,

today I have another Elsa tutorial for you :)

It's on how I made her ice shoes, this one <3

I used this ANNA FIELD shoes from Zalando as my base, they are pretty cheap

Firt removed the ankle band and cut off the instep band:

Then I put some paper on the shoe to transfer the edges....  (I did the same thing with the front part of the shoe)

Then I draw my ice design along the edg line and cut it out

So here's my paper pattern on the right shoe :)

Then I transfered the pattern onto cosplayflex, which I got from the CosplaySchmiede
It was the first time I ever worked with a thermoplastic material. And I love it, it's ablolutey fabulous!!! I really want to work with it again soon :)

It really was quite easy to cut the cosplayflex, far easier than I would have thought.
Then I heated it up a bit with a heat gun to make it flexible and draped it over the shoes. The great part is, this fantastic material has glue in it so I didn't have to use extra glue, so cool :)
It cooles pretty fast and as soon as it is cold it's stiff again. If something is not quite the way you like it, you can just take your heat gun and make it flexible, that's so awesome. Did I metion that I love this material?  ;))

I primed the beige parts with white acrylic paint.

And then painted it in this blue color (I mixed it myself). I guess you could also leave it like this, I think they already look super cool :) However, if you want to leave'em like this, I sugest to cover the whole shoe in cosplayflex or another thermoplastic material and sand it before painting. Also use a clear finish spray to keep it shiny.

I wanted to give them an ice topping, so I used my hotglue gun to add my ice :)

That's it, I hope you like it :)

I will post some more Elsa tutorials soon ;)

Elsa corset WIP

Hey everyone :)

I just started my Elsa corset and wanted to share this with you ;)

So this is the pattern I made

For the base of the corset I used a cotton denim and a blue crepe I hade in my scrap box. I ironed on some interfacing to the crepe, cause it was very slippery...

Then I sewed the layers together and all the pieces ;)

No bonig yet, but I already made the tunnels for them...

Also this week my shimmer sheats arrived <3 I'm going to cut lots and lots of sequins for my corset :P

Isn't it beautyful? I already love those shimmery things :) 

Maybe I'm going to hate them later, when I have to fix them to the corset ^^ will see...

Elsa skirt WIP

So I finally started my Elsa cosplay :) 

First thing is her skirt. I mad a muck up to test my pattern, I almost always do this and highly recomend it. Cause it can be very frustrating to start with the real fabric and you mess it up. That way you might even have to buy new fabric and start again... 

So back to Elsa: here's my skirt mock up

Made the slash a bit higher up the leg the leg then the original, cause for one I like it better this way and secondly it looked funny the other way when I walked around. The skirt kinda moves more fluently like this ;)

After the mock up I cut the actual fabric:

This is what my pattern looks like and yes it was a very close call with the amount if fabric I bought... I guess I got lucky.. ;) I had about 4 meters and I thought it was more then enough ^^

After sewing all the pieces together my skirt looks like this now.

And I'm so happy with it <3 The fabric is just perfect, it's so pretty and sparkly :)

Just need to hand sew the hem and libe it and then it will be finished. 

But I'll do that later on, cause I don't have my actual shoes yet and I also need to buy the lining fabric  ;)

Next thing is the corset base, maybe I'll be able to start it today... So stay tuned!

Btw I have no idea how this post looks in a browser, cause it's the first post I made via app. So I'm sorry if this looks messy ^^
