Phobos Cosplay made her Anastasia ensemble from scratch, and it’s a spot-on replica of the animated character’s yellow dress. Part of making an Anastasia is making the crown, and Phobos documented her process and turned her photos into a tutorial. She started with a cardboard pattern before transferring it to craft foam and sandwiching the foam between two pieces of Black Worbla. She says:
“Now put the foam between two pieces of black worbla. The smooth side of worbla should be against the foam. Heats this sandwich of worbla with a heat gun (or a hair dryer), press the two pieces together and cut the excess of worbla along the edges. Be careful, the crown must stay smooth and pretty on both sides!”
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.
