Another successful year at the Labyrinth of Jareth Masquerade is complete! This was my third year attending and, has been my tradition, I made my costume based on one of Eiko Ishioka’s designs. This one is my interpretation of the Masked Bandit from Tarsem Singh’s film, The Fall.

I wanted to remake my Rhys wig in a way that would compliment the cel shaded style of Borderlands, rather than fight it the way wig hair does. While I was moderately happy with how my first wig turned out, it still wasn’t what I was going for:

It’s fiiiine I guesssss, but it looks sloppy, it didn’t fit quite right, and it’s not as stylized and chunky as the rest of my cosplay.

I turned to the internet, but I found surprisingly little about making wigs out of foam. I know it happens all the time. But why was there no tutorial?? So I winged it (wung it? no), and now I’ll share what I think was a successful experiment with you all. At the very least, I think it makes a good starting point.

You will need:

Wig cap

Cling wrap

Masking tape

A sharpie

Wig head

Scissors

2mm craft foam

Foam for the hair (I used more craft foam)

Hot glue (a lot of it)

Modge Podge

Acrylic paint

Here we go:

Go take a look!!

Found this online. Great for those who are drafting hoods.

Hoods are one of those finicky things to draft if you never drafted hoods before.

I really really like late 18th century waistcoats. Especially the 1790′s ones with the little lapels and straight waistlines, so here’s a photoset of some of my favourite ones. (And here’s a link to my pinterest board with more of them.)
