It is no secret that my hubby want to create chainmail. He’s additionally if fact be told wonderful at it 🙂 For a if fact be told long time, he’s foremost a costume doll because – not like his size 2 mannequin – a costume doll is adjustable. They are additionally EXPENSIVE!
On the uncommon occasion that he’s chanced on one on the Goodwill for relatively low-cost, now we have no longer had the money to aquire it. So, when he chanced on instructions to create one on-line – sorta – he became once infected! It is additionally low-cost 🙂
The 1st step –Â aquire a T-shirt or 2 or 3 from the Goodwill. We sent $2.00 on every shirt, procuring 4 total.
Step two – aquire a gargantuan roll of duct tape. Hubby plans to create about a, so he sold multiple roll. Then again, one roll became once correct about wonderful for me, and we even had some left over.
Step three – Build T-shirt on in every other case mostly naked mannequin. (That became once me.)
Step four – Wrap duct tape spherical mannequin unless she can no longer breathe, and walks adore she is carrying a corset. Be clear that that to account for the total curves, and utilize extra tape than you watched you wish. 😀
Step five – rob record of armor plated mannequin! Hell, have a photoshoot!
Step six – Split along the backbone. Hubby tried the utilize of a crappy pair of scissors, then a legit pair of scissor, after which had success with a pair of tinsnips. The tape decrease correct wonderful-trying, it became once the shirt that resisted unless it’s dying breath, lol!
Step seven – DO NOT CUT THE NECKLACE!!! Belief me, we figured that out the costly manner…
Step eight – Take extra photos now of the carried out costume doll achieve – hubby insists that since it’s no longer adjustable, it is correct one other mannequin, no matter…
Step 9 – carefully beget in with expandable spray foam and let dry. Hubby plans to conclude this over his size 2 mannequin, but I believe it is also larger to correct beget it up and have a foam doll. Hubby plans to utilize this while making chainmail for me, but I’ve already started planning to utilize it while I crochet!
Now, the subsequent time I opinion to pass to the Renaissance Festival, I believe I will aquire a low-cost bathing rush well with or something, and have hubby wrap me up again corset fashion! I will be capable to assemble my total costume spherical it! There would possibly be even a vary of coloured duct tape, so I will be capable to create it match if I want, buwahahahaha!
