Help on Design on Cloak

Post by Kotsuki » Thu Mar 16, 2006 11:14 pm

I'm sorta new to this thing so I really need some help... Does anyone happen to know Itachi from Naruto?
Well... If you do, do you know his giant black cloak? The one with the designs of clouds on it?

I was wondering if anyone knew any way to put the clouds on the cloak? A simple way to put the designs on it?

^^; Thank you.

I made that costume a couple years ago actually, what I did was just cut out red cloud shapes on broadcloth, and painted a white edge design on it, and just sewed it onto the black cloak :P Hope this gives you an idea or something.

=O Thank you! Now I won't have to waste my money on something like... going to a store and having them print the clouds on it.

^^ Thanks again.

That IS a good method, Id just like to add that if you have acrylic pants (tole paints) theres stuff you can get to mix in it that makes it fabric paint. Its called textile medium. Just thought Id throw that in, its cheap but I think sewing them on looks better when done right. (but then all things look better when done right!)

You can also try Stencil Magic Paint Cremes. They come in many colors, are not as messy as acrylics, and work on all surfaces (including fabric). I'm sure you can find cloud-shaped stencils (or make your own on heavy paper), and good quality stencil brushes.

Hope this helps you :)
