How Involved are You? O:

I've ony done one costume before (when I was like.. 13? So..seven years ago XD wink

I cosplayed Yoh from Shaman King. The shirt and pants I already had. I modified my headphones and I made the necklace.
It took me about two days tops. XD;
Next year, I'm doing my whole costume, except for one prop, which my friend is making for me.
I'm fully expecting to spend waaay too much money and time on it. XD;
I've never made boot covers, gloves or styled a wig before so its going to be a fun challenge. Good thing my mum is helping me. @@;

1. Which parts of the outfit do you make on your own?
It depends on the cosplay. For example, I bought my entire Ouran cosplay. However, when I do my Ryuichi bunny suit I'll probably make most if not all of it.
2. Have you ever made your own weapons/props? Or do you buy replicas?
It depends, but typically I make because it's just too expensive to buy. My friend and I made a Card Captors Sakura staff for our friends' birthday, and we're in the process of making keyblades.
3. How much time and/or money do you normally spend on one cosplay?
As long or as much as it takes I suppose. If I find a cosplay is cheaper/better to buy, I will. If it's cheaper to make, I'll start early and put as much time as I can into it.

Sadly I do now make my cosplays~ for I have never learned how to sew ;A;

I do make my props. From guns to dolls, to 6ft hammers. I take great pride in my props haha

3. How much time and/or money do you normally spend on one cosplay?
I spend around 120-250 bucks on one cosplay. I do not like to go cheap when it comes to cosplay!!
