Honestly, I've got poi at home, and this looks better... not sure why, maybe because she can adjust the weight, or maybe because the fabric she used flows better
if you want to wear this costume more often, I have a tip for your bending prop. you should replace your plastic ball with a tennis ball or something similar. just cut it in half (not completely!) and do everything else the same way. this way you can go way harder with your prop and it can take a hit. I did it this way and I could bend without any worries. also, if it hits you it hurts way less XD.
The point if the ornament was that it was clear. Especially airbending fabric is very sheet and light in color. I didn't want a bright green or blue ball under my white fabric. For another Bender maybe.
+Axceleration if the ball shows through you could paint it the same color of the fabric so it's less noticeable. and if you're going to do other bender(props), good luck :)
Tips! the tennis ball is a great idea but like they said, wrong color, so if you want you can take spair fabric and glue/stitch/whatever to the ball so it is hidden
I'm actually working on an Azula cosplay for the upcoming EPCON and finding this, just made me feel so much better about making it. So far, my armour isn't as fantastic as I want it to be so I feel adding in this cool trick will make everything so much better, Thank you for putting this out there!
Tips for people! if you wanna give it a 'layered' effect, half way down the bulb (on both sides) glue/tie/whatever some fishing line (about 1-4 inches depending on you) and tie more fabric (preferably smaller and/or thinner). Then you get a sort of whispey effect. Note, this means it will get tangled a lot so have patience, and the longer the fishing lines are, the more likly it will tangle. If you want no tangle then just attach the fabric directly to the bulb on both sides
You just inspired me to cosplay Katara! I just couldn't decide who to cosplay next but after seeing how amazing your prop looks i have to make my own version with katara. Thank you for being awesome!!! :3
If u dont have those plastic xmas ornaments near you or cant buy any: just take off the cap of a smartwater bottle or a fairly durable water bottle (so basically one that doesn’t crinkle easily), cut it just below the start of the curve, so the semicircle shape is left, and cut off the part the bottle cap screws onto (like how they do with the ornament in the video) u can use a tiny bit of hot glue on the edges if a dremel isnt available. if u have any cracks cuz ur knife slipped just just a hot glue gun and apply thin layers on both sides until it doesnt break easily. Then, cut the sides off of the bottlecap, and make a hole just barely big enough to squeeze the bolt thru. If u want to, in between each washer and even the nut at the end i find it helps to put a bit of hot glue for extra security, and to attach the cap to the bottle using hot glue on the cap. I really hope this made sense. I just spent all day making it this way, and stress tested it in my front yard, i swung it around for the better part of 30 minutes cuz it was so fun and it doesn’t come undone ❤️ any questions, just leave a reply 🥰
I'm actually planning to cosplay Juvia from Fairt Tail and I really wanted to do some kind of water prop, thing. This is perfect and awesome! Thank you , for giving me ideas!!!!
This is so cool! I am going to try and do this for water for my waterbender cosplay. (I love how you make your own designed costume! That's what I did and I love finding others who do it
Simple, basic, something a 5 year old could do. I may need to watch it a few more times to understand. Lol That fishing line is tough to tie. I still can't seem to get it after watching those fly tying videos. Keep rocking it!
A. Not all 5 year Olds can do what my 5 year old can. B. It was used to set up a humorous comment afterwards. Devaluing my own abilities, which a 5 year old could do. I am sorry if you do not have a sence of humour. I shall refrain from comedy in the future to appease you and your dysfunctions.
Jason Bauman You never stated that your 5 yr old could do what other common 5 yr olds cannot in the *first place.* Continue or discontinue whatever you want. Why would you ever need to appease me, a dysfunctional person.
Materials: - Fishing Line(Transparent Line) - Couple Eye Bolts - Fender Washers - Keychain Clip - Flowy Fabric - Plastic Christmas Ornament - Sewing Materials(you have to sew a little bit!) Thank you so much for the tutorial
Do you think for fire you could maybe use ribbon twirlies (no idea what there called) that gymnasts used to make a more suitable shape for he element and tie a stone (or whatever you would use to imitate your chosen shape) to some sort of clear, secure rope thing (so good at english) for earth. I feel like the fire one would work as it would make it appear more rapid and, with practise, more controlled and the earth one could look cool with exaggerated movements but am not an expert so could anyone confirm!! The method in the video is awesome for water and air though
Nice tutorial! I didn't know why my cloth was so hard to move but it was because I didn't add enough weight. I ended up putting a bundle of coins inside the plastic thingy ^^u
Hi I was just wondering if you used smaller plastic ornaments, do you think this could work with a Wanda Maximoff (Avenger AOU) cosplay? You seem to know a lot about cosplay and I would love your opinion on it!
I'm not into avatar so I don't know much about it but this prop is beautiful! ♥ its so graceful and you look like a dancer! ♥ I want to make one for myself and use it with a faerie outfit for the renfest! ♥
This is so amazing! I love your work and cannot wait for your new video! I seriously check like everyday. Thank you so much for posting this, they look so amazing! I will definitely be using this tutorial!
Love the bending props! Very cheap and simple to make! Will have to get started making those right away. Also, how would you go about making Aang's staff? Would a hiking or walking stick that's painted brown work? What would be the best way to approach it?
that looks so cool, and yet so simple to make! i really wanna cosplay a bender now x[] i'll definitely use this for my Breath-aspect god tier cosplay tho!
This actually looks real. Btw, if you were in The Legend Of Korra, what element would you have. I would choose Earthbending. Also, whose your favorite character? "The last Airbender" characters are allowed. My favorite character is Toph. Even the other Earthbenders are my favorite.
have you done any other bender costumes or worked on? I remember you say that you would be using all your bender pins in you other ones.I might be mistaken but yea.
I made mine with a heavier, tighter weaves fabric, and have a quick question. I noticed air has a little more trouble flowing through my fabric, so would cutting slits help with it being more flow-y?
I bought two yards of fabric but I don't like how long it is so I'm going to use half and make two props. I'm a little confused on the part where you sew the edge can you explain a little better?
It looks like she just folds the fabric in half and then starts sewing the ends together about an inch down from the top so when she folds it right side out, there's an opening by the fold and sewn edge corner to put the ornament through.
She basically just made a cheap Voi/Poi. :) Really cool and creative and a lot less money than buying a Voi/Poi for the prop! :3
Exactly.
Do you know where to buy them?
@@0112sweetangel usually amazon or etsy. But they cost upwards of 30 dollars for good quality ones
Honestly, I've got poi at home, and this looks better... not sure why, maybe because she can adjust the weight, or maybe because the fabric she used flows better
So if I want to make an earthbending prop, I could just tie a rock to the end?
Sure. Just don't hit anyone or yourself. I won't be at fault for any bending mishaps lol
i would use styrofoam for earth bending
Is there any way you could make a styrofoam or paper-mache rock, cover it with something like plaster for a rocky texture, and then paint it?
They make larp rocks that are foam, so you could do it with those
Just throw a rock

Would i still need to add the weights?

So happy this tutorial exists!! I just finished making a firebending one for a convention thats coming up :D

Those look fantastic! I think I might make some just for fun!
This is so cool. This prop enhances the cosplay.
Absolutely GORGEOUS!

thats a pretty cool effect
Thanks so much, im going to make a Katara cosplay an this tutorial is very useful. Awesome cosplay!! And awesome air bending🤗❤
I love the atmospheric birb noises in the beginning
Probably gonna use this for my Irma Lair (W.I.T.C.H.) Cosplay, as she is able to control water
oh my god, witch is still a thing? I loved that show so much
I havent heard of WITCH in a while, that was my favorite thing as a kid!

i really like this! a cool, cheap way to make an epic prop.thanks!
Nice tutorial! I didn't know why my cloth was so hard to move but it was because I didn't add enough weight. I ended up putting a bundle of coins inside the plastic thingy ^^u

This would do great for a lapis cosplay, or even a Polaris cosplay if you had green and yellow fabric
Dude I just checked out some other stuff on your channel. You got a new subscriber :)
Thanks! this will be very cool for my cosplay :)
This is so cool.
I’m making it rn!!
Imagine tying a rock to a fishing line and just hitting every one at the event/convention
Can you do earth bending prop
This is perfect!! Thank you so much!!
Are you cosplaying your own fan character? I don't recognize her.
Yes it's my own! :)
Axceleration Cosplay she is so cool~
You make a pretty airbender
Going to comic-con this summer and I'm using this tutorial!
I love the cockatiel I can hear chirping in the background lol
WOW i am going to make this!!!! UR SO COOL!!!
Your cosplay is soo pretty
that is so awesome omg
This actually looks real. Btw, if you were in The Legend Of Korra, what element would you have. I would choose Earthbending. Also, whose your favorite character? "The last Airbender" characters are allowed. My favorite character is Toph. Even the other Earthbenders are my favorite.
I cant choose a favourite as there all so dope but I would love to either be an earth or air bender!!
super helpful!
this helped alot, thanks!
How many washers would I need if I were to make a firebending prop? Thanks :)
That is awesome
this is awesome!
I'm actually gonna try to make a water bending one for my Juvia cosplay from Fairy Tail
amazing
What fabric specifically did you use? Like a chiffon or a silk?
love it
This is so cool. She is awesome at this.
:-)
After 8 years, I'm here again, I'm gonna use this for Esmeralda, on December 🤭
Yay thank you for the tutorial! :D
i love your video, its super helpful but i was wondering did you also make the one in the beinning of the video the same way with the tulle?
The one in the opening segment is the one i made in the tutorial.
have you done any other bender costumes or worked on? I remember you say that you would be using all your bender pins in you other ones.I might be mistaken but yea.
+DatRandomCosplayer0418 I did make all the sender costumes once upon a time for my friends.
this is cool 👍
Cool!
You are my hero. FYI.
How much fabric would I need to buy for the Waterbending prop
Melia Johnson you will need 2-3 yards of very flowy fabric
Melia Johnson it's in the description on the video if you need to know what else you need to make it :)
I'm making some water ones now and you need 2 yards
I need to find an Excuse to Make These !!!!!!! :D they Look so Whimsical
I made mine with a heavier, tighter weaves fabric, and have a quick question. I noticed air has a little more trouble flowing through my fabric, so would cutting slits help with it being more flow-y?
you can try... but something lightweight is really what you need
So basically it's poi spinning - version Avatar :) I love it, i can't believe i didn't come up with this idea myself.
This is sweet! Could you make a video on making/painting the air bending tattoos?!
Hahaha. Yes. I filmed while I did my makeup for this video. I just have to edit it. Itll be posted soon :)
How much fabric would you need? And what kind?
How much did it cost for you to buy and make the props?
I bought two yards of fabric but I don't like how long it is so I'm going to use half and make two props. I'm a little confused on the part where you sew the edge can you explain a little better?
It looks like she just folds the fabric in half and then starts sewing the ends together about an inch down from the top so when she folds it right side out, there's an opening by the fold and sewn edge corner to put the ornament through.
Now all I can imagine while watching your bending is when aang and zuko did the dance of the dragons in s3
I approve of this idea 😘
What fabric do you use? I think mine might have been a bit too heavy
