when your friend says you can try their food but only a bite so you pull out miku's comically large fork
LMAO that's hilarious
Now for desert...you can only use a spoonfull so you pull out a comicly large spoon.
vine references? in this comment section? more likely than you’d think
Can I have some cake?
Only a fork-full.
* pulls out miku’s fork *
Lmao
I live in a shoebox studio apartment in the middle of a large city and I feel the pain of making sure every part of my cosplay is nontoxic. Glad that there's a creator doing tutorials for people like us. The fabric sleeve is so smart, because I've been suffering through 100 layers of wood glue and acrylic paint up to this point for my foam props. I'm still trying to find a way to make wings without melting/drilling PVC 😭
Gosh I feel your pain! when we moved into this apartment I was like, welp, I guess im not gonna make props again til we move 😂
I live in a shoebox too. I cover everything in plastic sheets and open all windows. And I will do my shit in the house cause if I don't, I just stop cosplay....
Or go do stuff at my parents house who have a garden when I have time.
Also it's really great that she's actually making a thing of it. Like when I was in high school I don't recall anyone talking about that, and in so much videos you only see hand shots, so I used to use spray primer and contact cement without even a mask (thank God I didn't have the money for a dremel). There are definitely not enough security warnings out there
As someone with weak lungs a more nontoxic way to make cosplay is really amazing to see. Also your sewing skills/knowledge are amazing, I can't imagine the time it takes to make these costumes and these videos. My mom is generational seamstress and I didn't really get the chance to learn much from her, so your segments of video overexplaining the stitching's. For me it's "oh! that's what mom was talking about!" and I have more appreciation for sewing and the work it takes.
Thank you so much!
THIS VIDEO is gonna save SOO many cosplayers who are in your same situation, thank you as always for being a beacon of hope for us inconvenienced cosplayers😭
Aww! Thank you!
I'm planning a Millie Parfait cosplay in her second outfit which also needs a giant fork. I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial!
OMG POG
Yess Millie...
Millie cosplays are always so amazing ❤
I live in a space with animals and it’s constantly disgusting outside weather wise, so I can never use toxic materials. I’ve avoided prop making for a while because all the tutorials used expensive and/or toxic materials. This was really helpful in showing me ways to make props without potentially harming myself or those around me!
Your attention to detail is terrifying and inspiring! Amazing job!!
Thank you so much!
Maybe because it’s the Christmas season but before you put the strawberry and the bow on it, it reminded me of the giant utensils the rats use in some variations of the Nutcracker.
I realize this is a very niche comparison, I was just trying to think of something to say so I can comment and support the channel because I am obsessed with these videos.
Haha Thank you! I love that comparison!
did I find this channel yesterday? yes. Have I watched nearly every video? Also yes
Thanks so much for watching them!!
Did I do the same thing also yes
have I spent hours of my life watching this whole miku cosplay video? Yes.
Am i also planning to watch the rest? also yes.
As a professional pattern maker I really love how you used fabric in prop making!
Thank you!
It's eye-opening to see you using nontoxic materials as I too moved in an apartment and stopped for a while making props because I didn't knew which materials I could use. So thank you so much 😍 you're always super talented and a total inspiration
Thank you! Yeah when we moved here I was like, welp, guess i cant make props for a while, but now here we are!
Your brain is enormous and I love seeing how creative you are with your cosplay making! Extremely inspiring!!!
Haha Thank you so much!
OMG the fork looks so great!! I really appreciate you showing how to make props using nontoxic materials because I also live in an apartment with a mom who works in a chem lab and doesn't want harmful materials at home.
oh btw you actually can reuse zip ties there are yt tutorials showing how to!
Thank you! And thank you for the tip, I will have to look that up
when u pulled the handstitching part out i mumbled to myself "holy shit shes insane". this was so cool to watch cause ive never thought of other ways to cover large foam props. ur dedication is still insanely amazing though
Haha! I love that, and thank you!
OMG YES! I use all non-toxic VERY cheap materials, (most stuff you could find at home) but thank you for showing that you don't have to spend a lot of money on toxic materials to make a good cosplay! I typically make all my stuff out of cardboard because I don't have a lot of access to foam, and all those spray-stuff that you need a respirator for! My first con is in January and I'm so excited! I hope to see more videos of you making cosplay, seeing as I watch them while I work on cosplays! Thanks so much for making this again!!!
Btw, the cork on the back of that ruler is supposed to keep the ruler from sliding so you don’t cut yourself!
It was my drawing ruler in college, learned to flip it over to be more precise, old habits die hard haha, Ill keep that in mind tho!
@@SarahSpaceman I do model making so that’s where I learned it! Kinda funny how tools get taught all sorts of ways
It's *SO SHINY* ✨ I'm so impressed by the fact that it's made using non-toxic glue and material too!
Thank you!
taking a sip of water every time you say tube or fork. peak hydration
Love that
I never imagined that I would learn/relearn so much from someone creating a giant fork. It is funny and great. I love cosplay for it's absurdity in the best ways. Thank you. I LOVE that you did this only using non-toxic tools. I have always wanted to get into bigger cosplay (I have only done sewing projects thus far) but can't do anything with fumes because of my health. It is possible and gives me hope to get into cosplay again!
The fork turned out so cool!! + seconding the nontoxic crafting since I live in a dorm- sometimes hard to even sew for the lack of space lol
Thank you! and oof i feel you on that, i was an art student, I never had any room with all my projects haha
As someone living in a tiny studio in London, it's so amazing to see what you can do indoors in a relatively small space :D I'm a crochet bitch but this makes me want to branch out and try more DIY things one day!
watching this while i make regency era jewelry for a historical dance, love watching people craft while i´m making things. And the way you got to make that beautiful prop without ruining your lungs and braincells is just amazing.
I dont know why I thought this cosplay was done like a year ago and these videos are just of a project thats already done..... when ive been following the progress on tiktok LOL
Im so excited to see all the amazing things going to HolMat. This Strawberry Miku is absolutely adorable and you did SUCH a fantastic job on it all. Thank you for sharing videos of it so we can watch you suffer.
Hope to see videos from HolMat!
Been working on a Kindred bow while binging videos
Thank you! Hope to see you there too!
This was so incredible to watch, I’m so impressed by your creativity and methods! I love seeing cosplayers use “alternative” techniques compared to what is common these days (3D printing, painting EVA foam etc). I’m sure this will inspire a whole new generation of cosplayers to start crafting again!☺️💗
yesss this is incredible!! i'm obsessed with literally everything about this cosplay! i haven't cosplayed myself since before the pandemic but this is making me want to actually get started on the two mikus i'm planning (sakura miku bc i have a favourite color and i am sticking to it and the taito sleeping beauty figurine bc she's so damn cute) 😂 also really refreshing to see someone seriously address the safety issues with a lot of crafting methods, i haven't seen that a lot before 😊
I hope you do! And yeSSSS the sakura miku is so so cute!
I stumbled upon this video and it makes me feel a little sad I missed the earlier uploads but glad I got to this one on time-ish. The part where you sew the sides together? I thought I was the only crazy person to do that. I sew through things that aren't meant to be sewn through. Good, no, GREAT FRICKING JOB.
Thanks so much!
I came from the Strawberry dress - Ended up binging a -LOT- of content, and now I am here at the most recent one.
You are a delight to watch and I look forward to seeing more of you.
Merry fourth advent!
Spent most of this video wrestling my cat to give him medication for a UTI. I really like that you're making this cosplay non toxic and it makes me excited to finally make my first cosplay and make it stupidly complex (might go with a Rozen Maiden doll tbh)
On non-toxic cosplays: this video got me thinking of a million different ways to make my props out of yarn since I make all of my cosplays out of yarn.
Dude your cosplays are always so good! The attention to detail on all of them is way more than I ever do when making a cosplay lmao
I absolutely love that you made the prop using all nontoxic materials. This is a great source to really allow anyone to try something else. Everything looked great and good luck at Holmat.
This is definitely a way that I would’ve never thought to do! I thought you’d be using something like gold rub and buff but this is much more user friendly! The end project is just so gorgeous!❤❤
Got in watching the wig vid and went through the back catalogue. Really been enjoying your work! Doing grading today instead of crafting.
i love this video style with you- its so relaxing and flows nice and smoothly
The fact you gusseted a the fork is iconic LOL
Thank the lord you picked a 4 way stretch for this- amazing job
I honestly hope this is displayed somewhere in your kitchen or dining room now- this would look awesome propped up on the wall
Just got done with your dragon con video and saw that this was posted. Your strawberry miku cosplay is amazing! The fork looks so good too. Good luck with the competition!
Thank you so much 😀
I’m an Indigenous (Mohawk) beadwork artist, and HOLY. The beadwork on the strawberry is unreal! You glossed over it, but I know the amount of effort that must’ve taken 😍🍓
im a beginner sewist and binged all of ur videos it has helped me SO MUCHH i learned so many new stitches and tips and tricks, im planning on entering a competition because of it! i love ur channel and ur miku looks absolutely adorable
I’m blown away by how smooth and flawless the fork is considering all the manipulating you had to do to the lamé
i usually do crochet while watching your videos because theyre usually about half hour long and stuff and with that i find comforting, i started to watch your videos about yesterday or two days ago or something like that and i actually love this channel sm
AHSJHDNDN omggg u liked my comment tysm
It turned out amazing!
The inset pieces on the fingers of gloves are called fourchettes, which is incredibly appropriate for a fork! Gussets are typically square.
Here because my nephew is a fan and showed us this episode first. My husband and I had an (old replayed) argument over the logic of gussets and generally had a great time. Keep up the great work!
this is probably the best " non-toxic" cosplay i've ever seen holy shit Sarah you're amazing
Sarah talking about seeing the viewership on her backlog of videos
me, a year+ later recently discovering her, watching her backlog while I crochet
you seriously are amazing at what you do, making me want to do cosplay which I never thought I'd be interested in AAnnnnnd teaching me so much about sewing. Dude those graphics are life changing and I love all the stuff you make. I keep on seeing snippits of your past cosplays like the Link and Rose Quartz and i"m like "ooohhhh I hope there's a video soon about em" whatever you post I'm gonna gobble it up.
Watching you add in the gussets on the fork brought me back to the nightmare that was trying to machine sew a pair of gloves. I've made a few gusseted gloves since, but I have refused any machine sewing for them. Hand sewing all the way for me.
Also, I've only been here about a month. Your vids kept showing up in my recommended and I loved all of them so I've slowly been going through all your vids. I wish you the best and (if it hasn't already happened) that this channel finally gets monetized. You put so much effort into the things you work on as well as the videos themselves, I nearly cried at the end there.
I painted my nails while watching this video! All of your talk of getting clean lines helped keep my focus and not rush and make things even
Honestly avoiding toxic materials in general is so smart. The solution you came up with is really cool and makes me wanna try using fabric on some guns I wanna make in the future rather than suffering at the hands of the dremel. Glue fumes in general especially from hot glue are still not great but I'm glad I can use this video now as a justification for being too scared to use contact cement lol
Watched this while working on my Glinda dress
This is so crazy!! I can't believe you did the fork covered in fabric!! I actually love the result so much, I'm in awe with how cute the gigantic fork is!
Found your channel recently and love your videos! Your "apartment safe" approach to cosplay is excellent, never seen anything like it!
I've slowly been chipping away at a Barbara cosplay on my own, watching this videos has given me the confidence to try and finish it! thank you for sharing your process with us, it's super inspiring 💕
I actually think the restrictions you had to make the fork and your solutions might score you some bonus points on the competition. Awesome job, it's amazing!
just wanna say i don’t know . Anything about sewing apart from the very basics (i learned how to use a machine this year lmao) but your videos are so entertaining!!! i really want to get into cosplay making someday and your videos have been so good for learning new things. i just found you today but i absolutely love how you present these . also this cosplay is gorgeous 🥺💖 doin miss miku proud
I lost it when you started flapping the fork tines during cutting. Also, I think you've given me the courage to finally try making gloves with gussets. Amazing work on the prop!
The algorithm recommended the strawberry dress video to me and then I started watching your other videos. It may not have gotten initial numbers but please know it still brings people to your channel.
I honestly never had any interest in sewing or even cosplay but I started watching your videos on a whim when the miku wig entered my rec feed and honestly it really sparked an interest in me! It's been super cool learning about this stuff from your videos and I really appreciate the work you put into not just the cosplay, but the videos themselves!
one of the BEST cosplays i've ever seen, especially knowing the prop was completely non toxic and made with hot glue!! your talent is incredible :)
As someone who has just finished (struggling) wrapping perfectly normal boxes for Christmas, watching you wrap the complex shape of the strawberry is making me feel a little silly 😂
Box cutter fan here! If you get the snap utility knives, you can simply break off the dull edge and you’ll have a fresh sharp one. Also, sharpening it using some fine grit sandpaper helps keep the sharp edge of your box cutter for longer.
I prefer the utility knives because you don’t actually have to replace the blades very often until you get to the end of the snap blade after running through a handful of dull edges. That being said, still a fan of x-acto for those fine cuts!
Your fork looks fantastic!
This was so sick to see such a unique way to make a prop! Once again, thanks for your amazing videos- it made great company while I was marking my students' maths test XD
As someone who nearly lost my mind handsewing glove gussets, I salute you.
As a box cutter and xtco knife enjoyer, i can tell you that for thicc 5mm, 6mm or more foam specifically for armor, you will want a wide box cutter blade. Also, if you have a LOOOT of foam to cut (like for a huge armor), your box cutter blade will last longer especially if you get the fancy durable black ones because foam actually dulls blades really fast.
Not a prop, but I recently made my headdress for a cosplay using cork board, needle-felted polyfill, yarn, scrap fabric, beading, sheet felt, and a LOT of hot glue to attach it all to a headband. Unconventional methods for sure, but non-toxic and I'm pretty darn proud of it!
Your videos are a whole discussion group among friends. I also enjoyed the motivation to finally finish my wig for Holmat
I've discovered you through your strawberry dress video and fell in love with your storytelling and your style. I love how you make everything from editing to cosplay to research and even values, crispy clean like a lovely seam. Here subscribing for the long run!! Thank you for your work!! 💐🏠
I love your videos! I am definitely one of those who went back and watched everything after CZcams recommended your wig video. They're all so so so good! I love your passion for what you're making. And the info-graphic things you make are SO great and do such a fantastic job of explaining what you're doing.
This thing turned out so good! It looks so clean. You must feel like a little pixie holding it:)
I’m currently on a break from Cosplay but I am so happy to see someone working with non toxic material! For my swimming mermaid top I made I really had to consider every material choice since I’d be swimming in the water with it
work out of my room, living in the barracks... As someone who bites the bullet and spends my life total to get the best tools... I salute you!
update... this is the most unhinged thing I've seen in a while! You are incredible for pulling this off!
None of the cosplays I'm working on call for a giant fork, but now I'm seriously tempted to make one just for the hell of it
I've been doing a ton of hand stitching lately. I also double thread, and I never thought of waxing them before! Life changing! Thanks for the hack
me looking at the fork and going “… are those gussets? on a fork?” and yes. those are gussets. im actually crying imagining the pain but also really impressed.
AAAAAAAAHHHH NOT THE GUSSETS ;_; THE HORROR, THE UTTER AGONY! THE EXTREME FUSTRATION OF SEWING THEM!
Really hate making gloves with gussets, so wow, all power to you! Great job! I love watching your videos and I learn something from each one each time! Cant wait to see you at HolMat on the stage! Will be cheering you on!
RIGHT gussets in gloves are sooooo aweful, these were big enough that they werent too bad, but man were they STRESSFUL lol, And Yay! Preemptively thanking you for cheering!
I love listening to these videos while I work. I don’t do cosplay but I listen to it while I’m doing other art. Cause I’m making a little jewelry dish while I watch this
I’ve just finished binge watching the majority of your videos while working on 3 shirts for Christmas gifts!! Watching your videos while I sew has been really motivating :)
I had your wig video pop up, and watching the whole series has been such a joy. I've basically been marathoning you while I customize a doll, and it's been the perfect thing to watch to keep me focused. Your videos are so detailed and fun, you've definitely gotten a new sub from me! Thank you for such inspiring cosplays and videos!
Aaaa! It's literally been so much fun watching the process of this cosplay! It's so gorgeous and the details are crazy good! Learned so many things that I'll keep in mind.
I really enjoyed this simply because my husband has asthma , and we live in an apartment. Gave me a good rundown on what i should do for my giant spoon Im going to make. Thank you again for being so cool and amazing!
you actually can dremel if you make a sanding box! Use a large clear plastic storage container and cut two holes on the side for your arms to stick into. Pad out the circle with foam so you can’t cut yourself on the plastic, and use some duct tape to attach long, thick cleaning/kitchen gloves to stick your hands in. Create another hole in the top, but keep the piece that you cut off, add some felt/cardboard/ something to make it lay over the hole. Add Velcro to the underside and some on the lid. This way you can stick a shop vac tube down into the box when you need to and vacuum up all of the dust before you open the box to remove your item. This will keep all of the dust in the box and remove it without ever being exposed to it.
Watching this video I completed a mini project that I'm super proud of! I knit two scarves out of this nice green yarn, but the first scarf had a very strange 'bloated' middle where I was adding stiches somehow without noticing xD. So I used that as a hood, sewed it together so it couldn't move, and then added the second scarf as an outer layer to make a mini almost balaclava look. I'm super happy about it and your ingenuity inspired me to try to make treasure out of my two so-so projects. Many thanks for the video it was so entertaining!
I admire your self preservation. One time I used super super toxic staned glass chemicals in a basement and I just held my breath
I love these videos so much thank you for making them!
Glad you like them!
i found your channel maybe a week ago and i really love watching your videos while I crochet ! i love these kinds of process videos and i really like hearing you over-explain things, esp because different people use different terms (i.e blind stitch, ladder stitch, invisible stitch) for the same thing, it makes it really easy to understand c:
Been hand sewing with unwaxed double thread and STRUGGLING forever. Thanks for the tip!
For anyone curious, the "obsession" with box cutters is born from ergonomics! The box cutter allows for a gentler, less intense grip than an exacto knife, and means that for prop makers who do A LOT of cutting, they'll be less prone to tendonitis and grip issues in the future. Put simply, it's like the grippy you can buy for a small crochet hook, but for a craft knife instead.
Also, as someone who has traded their exacto blade for scissors when cutting leather, box cutters and scissors have less of a habit of rolling off work tables.
Honestly super cool. * I may or may not try to make a normal fork using this vid as a guide *
Im just watching this while cleaning the kitchen and this is so freaking iconic
Your builds are always so inspiring!
Thank you so much!
found your channel a week or so ago through the strawberry dress video and been binging it since, the way you managed to work around the material restrictions for your fork was super innovative and it turned out stunning!!
Congrats on getting the algorithm to notice you. Your content is really beautiful and high quality, and your personality really shines. I bet now that these are being pushed to other people, your channel is really going to take off. Congrats and good luck.
Thanks so much! and we can only hope the youtube robot continues to notice haha
i’m so glad i randomly found you on instagram !!! i followed u because of the wig for this cosplay and the effort and care u put into ur cosplays is amazing. I’ve been binging ur channel and can say i’m not going anywhere
i have no idea how sowing or making props works but this is still fun to watch
i love having your videos in the background while i crochet
I always love watching your videos when I’m sewing they give me some great ideas on what to do when I’m stuck
I was chanting Big Fork! Big Fork! when you finally got it to fit into that gold sock. The effort and detail you put into this is astounding 🙌🏾
I cosplayed for 10 years before moving abroad and this channel is so great for keeping up with new techniques and helping me not forget others, cause although I don't do it anymore, I learned so many great things and don't want to lose the knowledge I acquired. Your work is astounding!
when you asked if anyone watching was working on/finished something while watching this, i felt so called out, lol, i decided to start work on my first prop today (mainly because i found your videos and felt inspired (esp. by your Strawberry Miku cosplay!)) i finished cutting out my pattern during this video :>
I've probably already commented on this video, but I always come back to your Miku series to watch you when I make cosplays. So, thanks
I ADORE your videos! Thank you for showing an entire process that you have ❤️ it inspires me very much!
I loved seeing your non-toxic approach to crafting! I myself have to do similar hacks because I don't have access to fancier/more expensive tools and materials. Personally, I find it a fun (and frustrating) challenge to only use things like hot glue and old pumpkin foam to make crafts. Though I know you don't really have a choice but to use non-toxic materials, I do also appreciate the message that comes with it!
Thank you so much!
OMG! your channel is soooo amazing. I bump into this video and I immedietly watch all your stuff. You're doing amazing job with all cosplayes and you're so inspiring
