    My friend and I just followed this tutorial to make plumbobs to wear around a convention this weekend. The tutorial was easy to follow and our plumbobs look great. Thank you!!

  • @hellomeesh
    @hellomeesh Před 5 lety +11

    An alternate way to do this is to make a pattern of all the triangles coming off of the hexagon in a "sun" pattern, then cut that out of cardboard, scoring the base of each triangle so they fold up after you glue it to the glitter paper and cut it out. :)

    Love that you took a common Halloween costume and showed us how to make a super good quality version! Yours is instantly the best tutorial for this :) great job!

    I know this video was posted forever ago, but I wanted to say thank you for it, my brother surprised me with tickets to a local convention, so I needed a last minute costume idea and this one is perfect. I'm putting mine together tonight and I can't wait to see the finished product! Thanks again, Karen!

  • @Jaydaaa777
    @Jaydaaa777 Před 10 lety +3

    I've been planning for weeks on being a sim, and this can help me out! I also want to say that you don't have to wear anything, you can buy a sweatshirt and decorate it with a llama and Plumbob and more to make it look like it's a sims university sweat shirt (especially if its cold that day).

  • @snipoppers16
    @snipoppers16 Před 4 lety +1

    I found a paper folding tutorial to make my plumbob, but didn't know how to attach it. I did a version without hot glue and plan on sticking a straw from the bottom and using your wire trick to get it on a headband. That sparkly paper is so nice, I might just use that on top of my prototype version instead of re-doing the paper one with new paper. Thanks for the ideas and for sharing!

    • @snipoppers16
      @snipoppers16 Před 4 lety

      czcams.com/video/as9yOylGrp8/video.html I used this tutorial, but repeated the last step twice to get a double fold in between each corner. Made it with 2 pieces of paper and folded the pointed ends into the pockets.

  • @LaurenFairwx
    @LaurenFairwx Před 10 lety +23

    I LOVE this! It's adorable and I never thought of it as something to keep around in case I need a last-minute costume. SO SMART! You are the best, Karen.
    I haven't played The Sims in a while because I would spend full days playing in high school and college without even realizing how much time had gone by. That game and its expansions also filled up the entire hard drive of the desktop computer I had in high school.

    • @karenkavett
      @karenkavett  Před 10 lety +2

      Lauren Fairweather Thanks Lauren! I'm sure your version of it would be super cute as well!

  • @hgpostma2
    @hgpostma2 Před 10 lety +2

    i only wrapped my wire around the headband twice. then i put duct tape over it and that seemed to hold it in place really well. I also taped ribbon on the headband so i could tie it on. I gonna wear it to a football game so i need that extra stability X3

  • @EternalSilverFlame
    @EternalSilverFlame Před 9 lety +3

    I love this tutorial! It's going to be one of my cosplays for Minneapolis Comic Con. :) One tip I have is if you're really bad at hot glue (like me), sharpie the edges of your pieces before you put it all together. Sharpie is not going to write over any hot glue that squishes out.
