Small woodworking note! The wood glue is actually gonna be a hella strong bond, stronger than the screw. The bracketing will likely help for reinforcement so that the any bending stress doesn't make the wood snap, but the screws in the joints are totally not needed. (If you've ever had a wood-glued joint fail, it's never the glue that fails, something normally splitters and breaks instead.)
Pinning this because that's super helpful info, Thank You!
@@SarahSpaceman No problem! Just make sure the glue has had the full 24-48 hours to dry before you stress the bond any (check the bottle for the specifics, some glues have different drying times,) and that you clamp it best you can the first few hours that it's drying. You could even use the screw to function as your clamp, then replace it with a wood dowel after. Saves you a little weight and you can sand if flush if you need to.
I must be unlucky 😂 I've had wood glue fail me once but the glue was put on 10+ years before the break happened. Tho I will say I glued it back on with a screw and it hasn't moved since

@@sploompdoomper 10+ years is stretching it! It will degrade over time. I've done work with vintage furniture and the glue on those often needs to be sanded down and redone if there's been any sort of break. (also notice where the break happened, most of the times, I find the glue firmly attached to one side of the wood, with shreds of the other side still attached, which makes cleaning it off to redo the joint such a PIA....)
I think it's safe to say any joinery done for cosplay will have other issues to worry about 10 years on more than the glue :) Entropy is not kind to wearables and lugables.
"This is not a tutorial... you are here to watch me suffer" is THE mantra (this is INCREDIBLE)
Haha Thank you!
God I just want to say the amount of dedication and skill to finish this project is so admirable and I hope so many people can see this and tell you too. Absoloutely crazy but like in the best way possible oml.
Thanks so much!
I thought that wig was impossible, thank you for proving me wrong, looks amazing
I thought it was too! And thank you!
This wig needs to be in a museum. Holy COW
Congrats on finishing this build! It's such an impressive cosplay, the wig alone is such a feat!
Thank you so much!! Im so proud of the wig just because I legitimately didnt think i could do it.
my mouth dropped at the reveal! I can't believe you did this all in 3 months. what an inspiration. also the music was indeed needed
Haha thank you! its good to hear it be justified 😂 I knew i was gonna use it at some point but i wasnt sure when i wanted to be THAT extra with the music
The end honestly made me tear up a little. Of course there are cosplays I've looked at and thought, I could never do that. But knowing everyone else is out there struggling too really helps. Your cosplay turned out incredible. While watching this I was working on my Cyno (Genshin) cosplay. :)
Aww! I struggle on literally every single project, and i think we all do honestly!
@@SarahSpaceman your content is so calming and relatable and I learn so much. :) even the breakdown of simple things is reassuring if nothing else. I feel like most of us are self taught and just hoping we're doing it right.
Sarah, something you said that really helped me get the confidence I needed to finally wear my cosplay in public spaces and it’s “make cosplay to fit your body, don’t make your body fit cosplay” as a person who has always been a bit bigger size it’s given me the confidence I need to finish and finally wear my dark elemental lux cosplay
As a kind of brand new cosplayer, I can't thank you enough for keeping the "it didn't work part" in! It's very frustrating thinking that I'm probably "not really good at that thing finally" when it's actually difficult for everyone. So thanks again, it was very inspiring! (Currently working on 3 cosplays that are almost finish *very hyped*; Houzukigami and Fuzukigami from Natsume Yuujinchou and Fearne Calloway from Critical Role - its tough, but hey, it's still very fun :))
34:35 I nearly cried at this moment honestly, what an amazing feat this cosplay was. All of your hard work shines through, and as I've just only dipped my toes into more complex wig styling it was so encouraging to see what did and did not work and the journey it took to get to the final glorious reveal. Seriously, kudos to you, you are such an inspiration!!
Aww! Thank you so much! That song will hit you like that wont it lol.
admiring this work of art while making a scaramouche hat so i dont lose my sanity lol. just a bit jealous though, miku cosplays are so cute honestly
Scaramouche hat sufferers 🤝
@@alhovera one in the same 🤝
good luck on the scaramouche hat
@@ylvf8998 i want to make it but idek how to get into cosplay 💀
imagine having to climb an emergency ladder with that large ass hat
You say it's over dramatic, but I nearly cried at the big reveal. That is so much work and it's so well done, if I was in your place I might have cried seeing myself in the mirror for the first time. Excellent job!
Edit: Also, I was seeing your progress on instagram in short videos, I didn't know you were documenting the whole process on youtube! I just got this recommended to me on here.
Haha! I might have cried if i hadnt done a makeup test a couple days prior, the extra clips at the end were my very first reaction to seeing the wig on with makeup, and i can honestly say i was just flabergasted, it's one of those "is that even me?" things, but thanks so much! and glad the algorithm brought you!
My jaw is on the floor. I admire your dedication and resilience to this cosplay. I can't imagine how much of a nightmare this was in real time, but it really paid off. This immediately became one of my favorite cosplays I've seen.
AM SO PROUD OF YOU! not only for creating the cosplay but for filming and uploading your progress! What a dream come true!
Wow! Now that was some problem solving. So so amazing. Those are the kinds of things that make me love cosplay so much. After figuring out something that seems so impossible you get to look back and think “wow I did that, I figured it out!”
Also, I’ve been working on making some flowers during your videos. Keep up the great work, you always blow me away!
Thank you!
I’m not a cosplayer or in the community and holy BALLS this is ridiculously impressive, what an introduction into this community. You, my friend, have set the bar sky high
I don't cosplay, can't sew, but I do wear wigs. So I guess that was why this was shown to me and for once thank goodness for the algorithm because this type of content is gold, new subscriber and I can't wait to see the rest of what you make!
Gotta say, I struggled on handmade cosplays before and seeing the incredible work that you did while aslo showing us that you had it hard as well, not everything flowed as it should've, gave me hope that even if I struggle, I can pull through too. And I cried at the end reveal, you looked so proud and happy!
You doing tedious art stuff where you do the same thing over and over again, is keeping me company as I do tedious art stuff where I do the same thing over and over again. It's good fun and feels a bit like a stitch group.
I'm crocheting lace and coveting the gorgeous ribbon lace you have as I binge this series.
This channel is criminally underrated
My how literal question was when I cosplayed the Predator. I wanted to do a similar thing I saw in the AvP film when one turns his back and the dreads just swish so perfectly I wanted it. All tutorials I could find would allow that so I came up with my own idea, I braided rope. It weights way more and took so long, but I absolutely love it, worth it for me
Absolutely gorgeous! Never stop cosplaying, you're incredible at it!
Thank you so much!!
This is the most "trust the process" video EVER!! Congratulations!! You look amazing 👏
Working on a very simple wig over here, and stumbled across this absolute beast of a creation - fantastic ingenuity, and the final product is amazing! Thank you for sharing your work and process!
The wig is so beautiful!! I'm happy that you were able to find a way to make those crazy ginormous pigtails possible ♡🍓 also the "daisies" are actually strawberries in their flowering stage!
i wish more ppl did extreme wig styling videos. i love this
I'm an artist, so I totally understand what it's like to make something that takes a phenomenal amount of effort but holy cow this is another level. Cosplayers like you will never cease to amaze me, especially with how you put so much time and care into a project that has SO MANY different parts and materials and bonkers details that you need to figure out yourself. This is seriously impressive, and I hope you are as fullfilled with your efforts as it is incredible to watch come together :)
OH MY GOD THE FULL COSPLAY IS SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT I SO HOPE YOU WIN THE CONTEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now i want the fork video too!!! D: hahahahaha
Thank you! Fork video will be coming soon!
This is awesome!!! Congrats on finishing the build!!!!! I’m also currently working on (and by working on I mean I’m staring at it and not touching it LOL) a miku cosplay as well (with like this giant pigtail bobble thing?) and I’m inspired to work on it again lol. Thanks for your content it’s always super awesome!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
thank you so much! And you can do it!
Got lots of ironing done for my new build while watching this!! I can't wait to see more about the fork!
I love wig styling, I recently started doing commissions for it, and it's been so much fun. It's so interesting to see all the kinds of techniques people come up with for building crazy styles 🥰
Also, I was knitting a cat sweater while I was watching this, since you asked 😂
Omg the wig mechanism is genius. Like you're a genius
This has been inspiration to get more into the wig world! I don't know why wigs scare me so much when I'm actively hand quilting a 6 colored fur bodysuit as I watch this
This channel is a gold mine, enjoyed seeing every part of this cosplay, feels a bit surreal to see it all together XD, and definitely taking mental notes lmao
I really learn from videos like this, there isn't much material about it, it helps to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't know where to step. It turned out amazing
I showed my mum your videos and now we’ve been watching them every dinner time :D
Your cosplay looks so amazing 🥺
I discovered your channel recently and you're really a source of motivation and inspiration to me. I love the way you explain everything and your energy. Thank you for all your videos and I can't wait to see more of your projects 🥰
Thank you so much!!
your dedication and excitement made me feel so emotional, I almost cried.
OH MY GOODNESS RHE EVERYTHING IN THE ENDING!!!! IT LOOKS SO COOL AND PRETTY ✨✨✨✨✨
Putting on the whole costume had me hootin' and hollerin'! You did such an amazing job.
This is so helpful- I plan to cosplay the 2024 Snow Miku and the pigtails are INSANE. I've been ruminating over how to pull of such a long wig. you're a life saver!
I cant word the feeling im feeling but my 'tism its vibrating
I'm not a cosplayer (only dabbled in it) but I absolutely ADORE how characters come to life and how fun it is!! This build is so impressive. Beautiful!
Recently got into crafting and I watched this while working on some raven wings I'm building. I've never done anything like this and I'm worried it won't work out but watching your videos has motivated me to keep going!
I saw you at Närcon with this cosplay and I was so amazed with how easily you seemed to move in it! And now I see you have a whole wooden rig in your wig?!? AMAZED you're amazing and an inspiration!! great job!!
I usually listen to your videos when I’m knitting ,crocheting, and sewing! Your videos are lots of fun and easy to listen to when I’m working!! Cosplay looks amazing btw!
Thank you so much for this video! I have been fearing a similar project and you showed me something like this realy can be possible!
Glad it was helpful! And good luck with your project!
Falling to my knees in the street this is absolutely bonkers and the exact kind of cosplay I’m about
Your Strawberry X Miku project has been the inspiration for my proudest, latest artwork. I've been struggling to find my style as a pixel artist and binging your series was a great source of inspiration. Strawberry X Miku was a great candidate to exercises how I want to use my colors, proportions, and all that makes an artstyle become an artstyle. I love your works and I can't thank you enough for your content. I wish great success to your future projects!
Oh god, I cried at the end of the video. It sounds silly, but really your content means a lot to me. I struggle with my costume for too long and I was so mad at myself and felt bad about it, seeing only the good sides of others' cosplays and hearing how fast someone can work. It's really refreshing, when I can see a smile of someone's face after the hard journey with their cosplay and I know how hard it was and can relate to it. Thank you for what you're doing
I love watching these videos while i hand sew, it’s nice and it keeps me motivated lol
I've come here for cosplay motivation and I was not disappointed! I'm currently working on a Holiday Lady Urbosa for HolMat as well! I need that big wig energy.
Congrats on making it into the cosplay contest!!
Holiday Urbosa I love that! I hope I see you in that because it sounds amazing!
@@SarahSpaceman I hope I get to yours in the flesh too! It looks GORGEOUS
35:18 the music definitely suits the reveal of the whole costume finish, my jaw still dropped even though i watched your videos on how you put it together!
im convinced that cosplayers like this one could build a house no problem with only a reference photo to go off. super amazing cosplay, great job
It is just insane. Great idea for the hair. Totally crazy. I love it!
First off I wanna say that this cosplay turned out beautifully and it was awesome to watch the whole process of you making it. But also it was really awesome to watch this as I’m making my first handmade cosplay of Oogie Boggie from Nightmare Before Christmas . Watching your videos has made me want to work harder on this project and one’s like it in the future. I’m just starting out making cosplays by hand but your videos encourage me to want to continue to cosplay. :)
I love the fact that you show your mitsakes and the way that you fix them! it really motivates me with my cosplays since i get very frustrated at times ! and playling your videos while i am making my rin cosplay for a masquerade really makes me feel part of the cosplay community and reminds me that nobody is perfect ! keep going you are amazing !!!
Congrats on finishing Miku! 😍
I'm also working on a project that just keeps getting more complicated the longer I look at it 🙈 (Aloy's Carja Stalker Elite from Horizon Forbidden West) andyour videos are alaays so motivating 😍
You got this! And ugh i know that feeling every time i thought i was getting close to finishing her there was some other detail i still hadnt even started lol
Oh my god im so early!!!! congrats on finishing the hell that is the wig!
Thank you!! Im so glad its done haha!
that wig is BONKERS
I don’t know how I got here or what algorithm sent me, but this is amazing!! You’re insanely talented!!❤
I’m in Australia and I buy my costumes but I’ve gotten into wig styling a lot more . I’m finally getting to a point where I’m no where to the point where I’m amazing but I think I’m getting good and I’ve been watching Sara for about a year and re watch her videos all the time !!
"this is not a tutorial, you're here to watch me suffer"
moooood 🤣
Wig design is on itself is a whole bucket of cats for cosplayers and congratulations on this masterpiece, it looks fantastic and the engeneering behind it is on point !!
The amount of ingenuity that went into this wig!!!
I’m con crunching right now, finishing details on Itto and Bowsette and honestly these videos have been amazing to watch as a give myself breaks. You’ve definitely inspired me to try more in depth cosplay making instead of just altering premade clothing to look right. Amazing work ❤
this was so incredibly thought out and executed, well done!!!
i'm not even a cosplayer but gurls. the patience, the skillset and the endresult. a tru masterpiece
You looked so happy ! Congratulations on 5k and also for completing this.
You are awesome, thanks for sharing
I'm in tears 😭 I can't such amount of work and dedication! I deeply appreciate the time for recording and edition this too 🙏, it's such a nice journey to watch it all come together 💕
You're my hero. This actually is helping me with weight distribution on my OWN miku wig! The only difference is that instead of using ruffles, I'm using a second sort of hair layer to cover!
God its so refreshing to watch along as you make cosplays. I love how real you keep it about mistakes and how you do sometimes have to make awful decisions, but those decisions will absolutely work out in the end. Watching these has helped me get up and be inspired to work on my Power cosplay!! Her scythe will be finished these week (completing the cosplay) and then I get to debut it on the 14th 🥺
Awesome work!! Love how you broke it down and showed the process, well done!
Ive rewatched all of your miku videos countless times because I literally cannot get over how amazing cosplay this is. Like?? All the detail?? The dedication?? It’s all just AAAAAAAAAA 💞💞💞💞💞💞
That's amazing! I hate wigs and could never tackle something like this! Also, working happily on a cosplay and then reaching a part where you fail and have to try again over and over and you still fail so you then sideline it for 3 months is probably the most relatable thing lol.
"you take tha baby straightener and baby straighten it" is one hell of a line, it makes me laugh so much
This has honestly helped me a lot! I'm working on a Ciri cosplay from the Witcher 3 and I can't help feel my wig is a horrific terror 😢 so this made me feel wayyy better just in general about dealing with things going wrong with mine. Totally helped me to just try my best 👌
Holy cow this was incredible! I recently did a “cosplay design ive wanted to do but just didn’t know how it was possible” and it took 3 years to finish big SO worth it, amazing what you’ve done in 3 months
Omg??? The wig looks so stunning 😭 it's super impressive to see how much effort you put in it!!!
finally fixed the cuffs of a jacket which ive been thinking of doing for forever, and its bc im getting excited to make my own cosplay . yippie!
Started watching wig videos/ tutorials recently because I’ve never worn a wig before, but want to make one for a Vash costume in June. I didn’t expect to enjoy them so much, especially seeing crazy stuff like this 🙀
Seeing u work on this cosplay makes me motivated to work on my Angewomon cosplay that I'm planning on doing for a con in September. I found myself enjoying your content and your process of crafting. Keep inspiring!!!!
I'm watching this while making my customers persona 3 reload costumes. I had a headache with the zippers but thanks to seeing you struggle, it elevates my pain a little bit. I love you!!!!
Your videos make my day, they are so fun to watch but also educational it makes me feel better about my failure cosplays or the trial and error process thank you. you are such a inspiration for me
When I initially saw this design, I knew it was one I HAD to cosplay, but I wasn't sure how I'd go about it. Thank you for documenting your journey (and struggles lol) making this! It was super inspirational to watch tbh
This is video I will remember for the rest of my life. You are so incredibly informative and the methods you use are innovative and honest. Thank you so much for sharing this!!
These videos gave me confidence to re-do a cosplay, which I tried to sew myself but lost my motivation because of mistakes. if i can finish this cosplay it will be my first cosplay! Thank you for all the information you provided and for showing out the mistakes you made
I love the amount of time and effort you put in to this project and the finished product is absolutely stunning. Also I appreciate the detailed explanation of everything. Love your work ❤️
I just saw you at Holiday Matsuri and OH MY WOW!! I mean just seeing your performance was incredible, but now seeing how much work actually went into it is mind boggling! ALSO OF COURSE CONGRATULATIONS!!! You were definitely my favorite there and deserved to win!!
I learned so much while watching this!! Wigs have never been my strong suit. All wigs that I have are very minimally styled and I’ve never been able to figure out how to make huge voluminous hairstyles like this. Thank you for showing your whole process!
I love listening to you while I work! I'm making a crochet summer top right now that is floral and dragonfly themed!
I’ve really enjoyed watching these! You are so skilled and wonderful at cosplay, instructions AND video making!!!
You look so stunning in this cosplay Sarah! I am so impressed by your ingenuity. As for what I was doing while watching, I was working from home hehe
Thank you very much I'm planning to do sakuyamon but the part with the pigtails was too difficult for me and now thanks to you I'm already improving my idea, I hope my wig turns out pretty.
Thank you, you look beautiful!
The teasing and heating and teasing and heating AND brushing reminds me of my Emo hair days. 19:24
Cleaning my sewing room today while catching up on your videos & love leveling up my knowledge while getting this sewing room in working order!!!
Wow, wowow!!! This wig is amazing and so intricate, I'm in awe! Your community must have done a good job, this popped up in my recommended and I'm thrilled I found your channel! I'm not so much a cosplayer (though I did do it as a teen) as I am a sewer, garment patterner and wig enthusiast. Looking forward to seeing what else you make
35:53 thank you for the advice, i now shall drive to a fabric store and figure out how to sew a tsukasa tenma cosplay even though his outfit is complex and i only know basic hand sewing, who needs experience when you have motivation, time to figure out how to make pants and coats
I've finished an entire art piece while watching your video!
