I COVERED PART OF A SHOE! I FEEL SO ACCOMPLISHED!!!! The fabric is white Pima Sateen Sheen from @fabricdotcom, dyed with a 9x concentration of @dharmatradingco's blue grey Procion dye. #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayshoes #modpodge #rwby #rwbyweiss #rwbycosplay #rwbyvolume4 #rwbyweissschnee #wip #workinprogress #weissrwby #weissschnee #weisscosplay #weissschneecosplay #shoes #shoemodification #crafts #verylegitcosplay #fabricdyeing #fabricdye

And here are the shoes! Well, half of them. I attempted filling in the wedges with Paperclay since I heard that was better than Model Magic, but it shrank A LOT. So, back to Model Magic, it was. I filled in both wedges almost two weeks ago, and today, I'll be using outdoor Mod Podge to cover them with fabric I stayed up all night dyeing. #verylegitcosplay #rwby #rwbyweiss #rwbycosplay #rwbyvolume4 #rwbyweissschnee #wip #weissrwby #weissschnee #weisscosplay #workinprogress #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayshoes #shoes #shoemodification

I'm putting the finishing touches on my Snowpea boots! These came with white heels, but Weiss' heels are black in the show. The soles are black, as well, but I thought the red was a nice touch, a reference to her shrug's red lining on her original outfit. I thought I'd try using Mod Podge to attach some pleather to the heels, but the pleather I have wasn't stretchy enough, so I decided to try my hand at painting them. It's just regular acrylic paint, and I'll be sealing it with a high gloss finish. #verylegitcosplay #rwby #rwbycosplay #weissschnee #weisscosplay #weissschneecosplay #cosplay #weissrwby #rwbyweiss #cosplaywip #cosplayshoes #cosplayboots #snowpea #weisssnowpea #rwbyvolume2 #shoemodification

So, cool thing. I was worried that my sewn on straps wouldn't be enough to keep my shoes on my feet, and my clumsy ass needs all the help it can get. I'd initially planned to run a clear bra strap through the loop in the back for added, discreet support, but it was honestly a little too tight for my liking (the hook wouldn't fit through the loop, so I only had half the length at my disposal, which was barely enough). As it turns out, my sewn straps held up just fine after a test run on my apartment unit's stairs. The back loops aren't canon, anyway, so OFF THEY GO. I'm hopeful that the fabric will recover the heel easily enough. #verylegitcosplay #rwby #rwbyweiss #rwbyvolume4 #rwbycosplay #rwbyweissschnee #cosplay #crafts #shoes #shoemodification #wip #weissrwby #weissschnee #weisscosplay #workinprogress #weissschneecosplay #modpodge

And now all of that mess has become straps! Both sides have interfacing, so they'll be nice and sturdy and won't flop around when I'm actually wearing the shoes. 😜 #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayshoes #modpodge #rwby #rwbyweiss #rwbycosplay #rwbyvolume4 #rwbyweissschnee #wip #workinprogress #weissrwby #weissschnee #weisscosplay #weissschneecosplay #shoes #shoemodification #crafts #verylegitcosplay #fabricdyeing #fabricdye

I've got the shoes completely covered! The next step is to make the straps, and then they'll be done! The fabric is white Pima Sateen Sheen from @fabricdotcom, dyed with a 9x concentration of blue grey Procion dye from @dharmatradingco The shoes themselves are from @paylessshoesource, and I used Model Magic to fill in the wedge heels. #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayshoes #modpodge #rwby #rwbyweiss #rwbycosplay #rwbyvolume4 #rwbyweissschnee #wip #workinprogress #weissrwby #weissschnee #weisscosplay #weissschneecosplay #shoes #shoemodification #crafts #verylegitcosplay #fabricdyeing #fabricdye #modelmagic #modelmagicclay

I've got the sides covered as well! Just have to do the heels now (and then make the straps, ugh). #cosplay #cosplaywip #cosplayshoes #modpodge #rwby #rwbyweiss #rwbycosplay #rwbyvolume4 #rwbyweissschnee #wip #workinprogress #weissrwby #weissschnee #weisscosplay #weissschneecosplay #shoes #shoemodification #crafts #verylegitcosplay #fabricdyeing #fabricdye
