#prop help

hi hello!! i need a bit of advice! i’m working on a cosplay to wear to the next comic convention that actually happens, but i’m at a bit of a road block. i’m making pied piper’s gloves from the tv version of the flash, and i’m trying to get the base material for fifteen bucks bc the paint and cementing is going to be expensive. the only lights for the top of the gloves that are in my budget are these open lights- like candlelights- though i need to cover it with a dome-like circle. how do i go about that? 

I’m trying to find a way to break a ceramic prop consistently. I want to break it up gently and then seal the cracks with super glue but I’m afraid it will break in more places. The other option I’ve looked at is covering the entire thing in a layer of wax after breaking it so any seam can be melted back together. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? It would need to be pretty cheap and easy to find since this is for a high school production. It would be nice to be able to hear the sound of the ceramic breaking against the stage floor but that’s not absolutely needed.

Okay I need some help because I’m having a huge dilemma! I dont have Crescent Rose made but I really wanna cosplay Ruby cause I have everything else. Like for me personally I feel like I can’t because Crescent Rose is part of her design and like part of her character?

I have a staff that (for good reasons, I can't remove it) has duct tape on it.  I need to paint the staff or cover it in something somehow to make it black.  I'm here asking if any of you lovely people know of something I could either use to paint on the duct tape so it won't just fall off/chip, or a material I could coat the staff in so I could paint the material over the duct tape instead of the tape itself.

Sanding tip! Put a strip of duct tape on the back of some sandpaper, fold the edges over, and cut the strip off from the rest of the sandpaper. 

So I wanna make a lazer cannon prop for a cosplay, and I'm trying to figure out how I could install a trigger I could pull and it would make a PEW PEW sound. What would I need to make this and how would I have to make it work??
