Kulu ya ku plush in honor of Hawk, my mhs2 kulu that killed oltura + both fatalis

Like Pride and Prejudice but instead of the love interest getting dissed for his toxicity and then reforming, it’s just two people bonding over dissing a dead toxic asshole.

on a microbudget

I regularly aqquire pins from different events that i would never wear so every few months I'll have a session of turning them into cooler more personalised ones. this is super cheap and quick to do (+drying time)

you're gonna need

- fabric scraps

- prints, images, letter cutouts, stickers, acrylic paint

- E6000/hi-tack/modge-podge

- varnish/resin

that's it

step 1

cover the old button in fabric by spreading the glue on your fabric in a thin layer and sticking it onto the pin

make sure you take the time to press the edges inside, with thicker fabrics you might find clipping the edges to help with buckling of the fabric.

step 2

do whatever the fuck you want.

you can paint the fabric, you can collage on it, you can just glue one big sticker to it (make sure to put your strong glue on it), I reused mostly magazines, super old newspapers, some misprints, my brothers super old ID photo. make sure the paper is glued flush to the fabric. you can copy designs, you can make your own, you can do whatever the hell you want. if you need inspiration look at vintage pins they were something elseee

step 3

varnish.

put a sturdy varnish to protect them from the elements. i just had matt spray varnish so i used that, i do 2-4 coats depending on the type of paper used (more fragile ones get more coats). this might interact with the ink in prints in unpredictable ways, beware. if something got too dark just go back in with a little paint between layers.

let dry

step 4

thats' it. enjoy the second life of the useless gadget you got at a convention 7 years ago.
