"The store we dont buy from" Is Hobby Lobby. Why? -> ua-cam.com/video/cU3RachB6Dw/v-deo.html
To sum it up, hobby lobby and its owners have been the subject of controversies and scandals including accusations of antisemitism, homophobia, LGBTQ discrimination, attempts to evangelize public schools, "efforts to deny access to contraceptives for employees," "discrimination and illegally smuggled artifacts and more.
Essentially its ran by shit people who do shit things and we dont stand for that. Theres michaels, blicks, your local small art store, which are all better than hobby lobby in both how theyre run and who runs them, to the prices, and even the contents. Support your local small art shop, micheals, blicks, just not hobby lobby.
Hobby Lobby is indeed the store we don't patronize.
and FUCK HOBBY LOBBY! LY SARAH
I was genuinely going to ask what the shop was
@@salemstrange2091 as was I until I saw that she was willing to type that which should not be said.
Can always appreciate an artist who spends a good amount of time putting a heavy emphasis on being SAFE with projects. 🙏💜💜💜
YES! so many people doing stuff with flying dust or hazardous fumes inside with no protection D:
I especially appreciated the "NO CATS ALLOWED" sign. I see too many people letting pets into places with too many hazards.
I hope the safety get up is a joke, that is WAY too much for the extremely safe and tame project she is undertaking, she was in more danger cutting the foam barehanded with an exacto than she is in her rlly cool workshop
A good tip when using a respirator, If you can smell the contact cement or other chemical when wearing it, you're either a)wearing the mask wrong or b)the filters need to be replaced (if it has replaceable filters). You should not be able to smell anything when wearing one! 😄
only the plastic of the mask itself
@@doggyspeak or your own bad breath.
I am here, once again, watching a tutorial for something I'm never going to do, because I'm not a cosplayer.
I am here to ✨admire✨ the art.
Same haha
Props are for anyone not only Cosplayers hehe if you find it fun you could always try to create something of your favourite franchise and hang it as decoration ! ;))
SAME HERE i now appreciate the art of cosplaying so much more now thanks to her omg
Same!
we, art appreciators
I really appreciate the safety breakdown.
I have a chemical engineering degree and we worked with acetone and toluene on a regular basis. No one ever talked to us about appropriate safety measures. In fact, a friend of mine was berated after needing to leave the lab due to getting extremely light headed and nauseous from too much exposure to toluene.
😢
...you'd think the chemical engineering field of all fields would know better than that
@@DreamyAileen When I did my engineering degree we only had to look up the MSDS of chemicals we worked with in chemistry class, not physics, not any of the engineering classes... thankfully when I workled for a company where I was handling chemicals, eveyrone had to do Workplace Hazardous Materials training if they were in the shop or at jobsites but I don't remember if the office folks had to.
That sounds like you need a Union or something, safety regulations should be take seriously in a professional environment 😦
A reminder to wear more form-fitting, natural fiber clothing when handling high heat or Dremel tools:
1. Loose clothing is more likely to snag and keep the tips in one spot, causing damage.
2. The heat, either from the tool itself or generated due to its fast speed, can burn protected skin. It can also melt fabric with a high blend of synthetic materials, causing it to adhere to your skin and result in more serious burns.
Happy (safe) crafting!!
this is probably such a niche thing to comment about, but it really is appreciated when people say ‘Hawai’i’ correctly like you did where the ‘w’ is pronounced like a ‘v’ 🥹🥹 i usually don’t comment on your videos because i usually don’t have much to comment on, and support quietly, but i’d like to say a big Thank You on behalf the people who care about Hawaiian pronunciations and enunciations. it really means a lot and shows that you either did your research well or were taught by someone who knew, and it’s cool to see other people who don’t look like they’re from the islands doing that. i do really enjoy your content and your cosplay videos have honestly helped me a lot in means of being comfortable and excited to try and put my own things together some day soon. 💖💖💖
Wow, your point about learning foam smithing vs sewing blew my mind. Not only does it make the former look less scary because there's "only" 20 years of knowledge to learn, but on the flip side you also don't have to be too hard on yourself for not mastering every topic in sewing, because IT'S SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE, collected over literally thousands of years and exploded 10 fold over the last 2 centuries. If learning how to sew seems hard to me, that's because it's an entire internet's worth of experience and craftsmanship vomited into a little machine handbook or a quick tutorial. Humans are crazy awesome.
0:54 Hi!! I’m so glad that this method was able to help you out on your own Snow Miku 2023 journey! It’s been super fun watching her come together and you did wonderful at Idolfest, I was going bonkers in the front row ✨💚
@SarahSpaceman, you can put petroleum jelly on the threads of the contact cement can where the lid screws on, and that will prevent it from getting glued closed. It works really well.
ooh good to know, i keep gluing my lids shut
If you’re looking for more info on how to throw things predictably but in cool ways, color guard tutorials might be a good resource!! The weighting is probably slightly different, but the general tips and principles apply to anything long with a heavy end and a lighter end! Biggest thing is to pay attention to where in your motion you’re letting go and where your arms’ momentum would push the prop! I love seeing you dance with things like this, looking forward to the next vid in the series! ❤
I was thinking that too! When I was in colorguard, we would add large flat washers to one end to help the pole spin more consistently. Watching some videos on throwing techniques will help increase spin too. Great idea, and great video, Sarah!!
This. I was like her hold is all wrong. She needs to look at colorguard tutorials. It's a small hand placement difference that makes all the difference in tossing. And I graduated in 2007 👵
Gesso is also a great primer and it comes in black and clear versions as well as white! It's honestly underrated outside of the painting world imo, it's a very multifunctional material. The clear version can be used as a good matte (though somewhat textured) sealant for acrylic paints or even colored pencils
I was just rewatching the wig video! I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE IDOL VLOG
This costume looks absolutely incredible so far. I am so excited to see the whole thing.
I just got to the part at 17 ish minutes and! I’m definitely new to cosplay, but I didn’t know wood burning tools could be used in it? I think it’s so cool how many different skills and art crossovers happen in cosplay! (Also, the safety lectures are giving me flash backs to my old craftsmen class in high school XD )
For anyone wondering what store she's talking about in 23:14 someone said hobby lobby under a comment with the same question from Sarah Boucher
OH
A short info about box cutters. You know those lines on the blade, those are break lines. Use a pair of pliers and just break off the dull parts of the blade and you got a sharp one again, that's why those blades are so long.
I thought everyone knew that??? 😂
I hardly ever subscribe to channels, but I had to subscribe to yours. I just appreciate what you do so much. I'm just over 40 and have been cosplaying since 2002, when cosplay was pretty much the wild west. There was no YT or central place to find tutorials, and we were all just flying by the seat of our pants. Now there are a lot resources out there, but none that I've found as helpful & educational as yours! I refer to you as "my new cosplay teacher," because not only are you showing us what you're doing, but you're showing us HOW to do it. You have such a great way of explaining techniques and how different materials work, which means even if we're not planning on making the exact thing you are, we're able to apply the knowledge you're teaching to any project. I've learned more from a month of watching your vids than in over 20 years of cosplay.
Also, THANK YOU for talking about safety! This was another thing that just wasn't talked about back when I first started cosplaying. As a result I have worked with toxic materials in ways that were definitely not safe, because my friends and I just didn't know better, and I have probably lost some brain cells in doing so. So thanks for spreading awareness! You're amazing!
I'm in my mid 30s and definitely remember the dark ages of cosplay from my teen years. I don't cosplay anymore (except Halloween) but I love watching these videos and reminiscing.
Watching your videos has inspired me to get back to making cosplays and even more so to challenge myself with the next costume for Holiday Matsuri next year
Good luck!! I’d love to see the process
So im not very consistent when picking youtubers to watch during my hyper fixations, but it s been like a month now, and I've been Binger Sarash vids for the entirety of it. That can literally only mean one thing- I really need to start my first cosplay 😭
This series has been so nice to watch while I'm making my first ever cosplay lol keep up the great work
good luck on your first cosplay! I bet it's gonna turn out wonderful!
Thanks for uploading more amazing content !! :3
you never let us down when you upload :D
YESSSS THE COSPLAY QUEEN IS BACK WITH A NEW VIDEO! TIME TO DROP EVERYTHING!!!
You went all out on this one! I was looking forward to this video so much! My favorite part abt this cosplay is definitely the prop, I really enjoyed the techniques you used. This is one of my favorites, very well done Sarah! Can’t wait to see miku dance 😂❄️🤍
Love the video, and really love the effort you put into your safety briefing on all of the toxic materials you've used. I've watched tons and tons of prop videos, but can't remember ever getting a more in-depth warning than "use this outside and wear a respirator". And like, it's everyone's own responsibility to practice safety with whatever materials they're using, but it's nonetheless really nice to see the effort you put into making sure people are aware of the serious dangers of these materials.
That aside, the paintbrush looks hella awesome, Sarah!
This paintbrush was super cool to see on stage, seeing it overexplained makes it even cooler!
The way you made the brush bristles out of the wig fibers was SO inspired!
i appreciate your encouragement so much. ive found foam to be very intimidating and now i feel like i can make anything i want
Ngl this whole series has taught me so fricking much about cosplay safety and tips to making my sewing life easier. I litteraly had no idea about contact cement safty and I work at a fricking craft store.
gotta say, love the faded hair on you. the lavender is really nice.
seeing that painting session was *so* satisfying.
Thank you so much Sarah for uploading perfectly when it hits a week cause I love tuning in to see your projects!! ( also it’s highkey intimidating when you mentioned having everything at your full disposal cause we’ve seen what you can do with MAJOR limits 😭)
You can also cut thin Eva foam on a Cricut for smaller specific pieces. I have modeled them in the design space and programmed it to cut my foam using the deep cut blade. I’ve gotten such specific shapes that I couldn’t do myself.
Man…the oil painting is like- SO AMAZING AAH AND IDK WHY BUT IM SO IN LOVE WITH THE TULLE PROTECTION BC OF ITS CUTE GLITTER
I love the brush so much, this is a cosplay I LOVE
YOURE BLESSING US WITH SO MANY NEW VIDEOS
I remember making my first armors with craft foam, floor mats, my dad's dremel, and the world's worst heat gun+my hair dryer... They were the dark ages. I haven't been cosplaying since the pandemic (i moved just before it and missed my regular con+safety+everything is way more expensive) but I've been wanting to get back into making costumes for the ren faire and cosplaying and your videos have been helping me a lot with motivation and inspiration
universe loves me, always, when I'm starting to work on a new cosplay, a new Sarah's video comes out! I'm so happy!
I appreciate the fact you tell people the dangers, I've used contact cement for years in college and never was once told it could be dangerous.
this is so helpful in a NUMBER of ways but also just seeing how other people paint 3d wood grain for props!! it definitely intimidated me with no experience but this makes us so much less daunting
Huge props to you (pun fully intended) for the contact cement safety message.
YOUR HAIR IS SO PRETTY OMGGGG
Hi Sarah I don’t know if you’ll see this but I’ve been following you for quite a while and your my inspiration to start making my own cosplays and I finally got a sewing machine for Christmas!
It’s so nice to finally see the process video for the final component to your cosplay after meeting you at con! I loved everything about this and I’m so happy I got to see it in person. Keep being amazing Sarah and keep on teaching us your tips and tricks!
You inspire so much creativity and motivation with every upload Sarah that I'll never stop thanking you for
I love how much you are emphasizing safety! I wish you were making videos when I was a young cosplayer lol. I really enjoy crafting props and armor, for me it's a 50/50 with that and sewing. Also I highly recommend flex bond! It's a non-toxic eva primer that is flexible I LOVE using it, it is a little harder to find but a bottle lasts a long time.
loving how much you've been spoiling us with the videos lately!!!!
love the wood texture on the brush!
I love making props so im so excited to watch 😊
You’re brilliant! Always so much detail and the emphasis on safety was immaculate. As is your vibe in general. Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Thank you for all the fun, educational content you make 🙏
it looks amazing so far. I'm so excited to see the whole thing put together
youre such an insperation sarah! merry christmas from sweden
This cosplay is so cool!!
You make these projects look easy omg
The last piece of the miku cos, love it 🐈
Learned a lot in this video and have the confidence to actually try to foamsmith some props myself now for a couple cosplays I want to try in the future!! You have such a way with delivering information in a format that's not intimidating or overly confusing!💖😊
EEEEEE so excited to see you catch the brush❤️ also this is literally so helpful I’m clueless when it comes to Eva foam💀
You could absolutely do a color guard routine with that brush 😂 It looks amazing! The tips you gave helped me a whole lot! Awesome video!
I love your safety briefs.
You’re the first video I’ve watched that really emphasized the importance of safety in regards to contact cement, so thank you for that! When I first started creating props I only got recommended to work in a well ventilated area, but that’s it. Thank you for going the extra mile! :) 💖💖💖
Even though you said the tulle is a pain to work with, it works great over the brush bristles and with the wig too. Nice bit of extra sparkle as well as the invisible stability.
Also love your void kitty.
!!! i'm so excited for next week, you're incredible
Wow it looks amazing! You should be proud!!
I really enjoy your videos. They help de-mystify props and other difficult things I'm not at all used to doing. I've learned so much from you. 🙏
Seeing you at holmat made my year. You are such an inspiration. Aaa.
I‘m always so Excited to See your Videos
OMG 😍😍😍 Every time I'm too tired to do craft cosplay, I see your video, and I'm up to do it again
Thank you for covering safety! Some things get overlooked. ❤️❤️
I'm my country we don't have Eva foam or anything as professional but we do have those tiles Sarah mentioned . So we are still living in the olden days over here ! (Ps I made a whole miku prop from those thick tiles)
I'm honestly so exciting everytime you upload! Thank you for sharing your journey ❤🎉
This is the first time that somebody actually explained to me how contact cement works, and not only how to use it, but why it behaves the way it does. Bravo!
Ive been waiting for this video impatiently!~
SLAY ONCE AGAIN YOU DID IT PERFECT.
I have been watching your videos for almost a year and you still make me really happy just because I watch your videos
There is so much great advice in this video!
Amazing work as usual, Excited for next week!
OHH IM
SO HYPED
I’ve been working on cosplay for several yrs and always enjoy watching others how to videos- yours is very helpful and I love how you explain your methods and give confidence to the audience! You are one of my top go to ppl now 😊 keep it up 👍
im so excited for the holmat video
I love the Education Bits ❤️
I love your content! thank you for showing me cosplay techniques! (:
Happy Holidays Sarah 🎄
Truly a Christmas 🎁 gift I am so glad to get is more content from one of the best creators in the cosplay community in my opinion. Matter of fact, brutally honest with production value through the roof all wraped up in genuine talent and joy that shows. Fudge yeah! x
You are my cosplay goddess ❤️ ive been making props out of cardboard this whole time but now that i have a sewing machine and Christmas money, im going to make better cosplays 😂
THANK YOU for REALY PUTTING THE WARNING ABOUT CONTACT CEMENT!!!! Thank you!!
I LOVE WATCHING UR VIDEOSSSS
I’m not really a cosplayer as the only time ive dressed up other than halloween is one convention, but your videos are so inspiring and it’s crazy how much work and effort you put into these AMAZING outfits you seriously deserve an award!!! It’s so motivating seeing you make these amazing outfits that even though you’re a complete stranger I’ve never talked to I feel so proud of you !!! I hope you continue making these cosplays and I’ll look forward to seeing them!! 😍
Great work on the prop and I appreciate your PSA about the glue. I use contact cement at my work and many people are really relaxed about the risks.
bro like 6 of my favorite youtubers uploaded today including this video
today is a good day
Imagine its a normal day n then u see someone in their backyard throwing a giant brush 32:50 n then with an entire snow miku cosplay without the wig 33:08
That brush looks so nice n soft tho omg-
OK but Sarah, you look so CUTE!!!! throwing the brush in the Miku cosplay 🥹 super adorable. And the level of detail and care you put into the whole cosplay is so amazing it's damn near professional like u could be a costume and prop maker for big title movies, I really mean that! U have such amazing skill!
love all ur vids sarah
You have such a great way of teaching things ahah, I've always found tutorials tend to miss the most useful part of teaching - WHY something does or doesn't work! It gives you the tools to adapt and create new techniques. I've never been interested in foam work before but this really made me wanna try ahaha, though I'm more nervous about toxic products even with access to an outdoor space (though I have been thinking about that "fabric sleeve" technique you used with the fork ever since you posted that video, i wanna use it to make an actually shiny non-metal sword or something!)
Thank you for the safety aspects! Its so importance! This is uch a greta video. Your so talented! ❤
YOUR HAIR IS SO CUTE!!
new video to drown out my thoughts i love it~ (it looks so good!!)
21:55 THAT LOAF OMG
Thank you for taking the time to make a great safety segment. I previously worked in resin based mold making for foam injected products. Those warnings SHOULD ALWAYS BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. Its not a suggestion y'all.
It's beautiful, since my mini self doll is going to have a weapon like that with a dowel shield.
YEAHHHHH PART THREE BABY THIS IS THE BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER
edit: ok but like actually, my boyfriend is at work and i just finished my final paper for the semester so this is great entertainment rn
