Every part of an Edwards Scissorhands costume seems complex to me, from the wild hair to the scissor hands. Cosplayer Alyson Tabbitha recently put together a costume featuring the Tim Burton character and documented each aspect of the process. She has how-to videos for the wig and make-up and also the most important aspect of the costume: the scissor hands. She goes through the steps in the above video — you can get a full supply list and templates for the hand in the video description on YouTube.
Need a guide for resin casting? Alyson has that, too:
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
