Happy 4/13!! The comic may be over, but this is just a fraction of all of the awesome friends, cosplayers, and photographers we’ve met in the Homestuck fandom over the past four years.

YOU KNOW WHAT “SUP”, BROTHER!

Our Cosplay Craft Room

It’s hard taking photos of your craft space when you’re constantly using it.  But with Katsucrunch finally over, we’ve finally been able to photograph some of our favorite pieces in our craft room!  We constructed this room with the goal of having lots of storage and lots of open space sewing parties with friends.  There were some really specific pieces of furniture we wanted, but at the same time we didn’t want to break the bank - much of what you see is DIY-ed together, re-painted, or reupholstered.  After many years of sewing in the middle of the living room floor, having a bright, open space to craft really makes a huge difference!  This room is 14x15ft all together, and even if you don’t have a big or dedicated space, there are still lots of things you can do to improve your own craft area.

Some tips:

Give yourself some storage space.  It’s hard to keep your craft area clean if you don’t have the space to keep your projects.  We store our scrap fabric and current projects in large square bins.  Smaller items are organized in the desk drawers, and less-used items are stacked in closet bins.  Drawers and labeled ziplock bags also make a great way to store away wigs while taking up very little space.

Hang whatever you can.  Mount your wigs!  Mount your rulers!  Mount your thread!  Anything you can fix to the wall is one less thing covering your work surfaces.

DIY the heck out of your furniture.  Unfortunately we can’t show you where to buy either our double-wide desk or the rolling cutting counter… because we made them ourselves!  Commercial “craft” labeled furniture with lots of storage can be really pricey - the Pottery Barn equivalent of our cutting island clocks in at $1,000.  We made our two big work spaces for around $200 each using pieces from Ikea, a saw, and a drill.

We’ll be writing some more specific how-tos for how to make the below items for your own cosplay craft room, so check back on the below link soon!
