You can attach claws directly to your fingernails for a beast-like effect. The type of claws you make will depend on the overall look you’re going for and the amount of work you want to put into the claws. Nail claws are actually fairly easy to create. However, if you’re not used to wearing long…
There are lots of characters in anime, comics, D&D, and games that have leather as some aspect of their costume. However, real leather is not a material that most of us will want to use for a cosplay costume. Not only is leather difficult to work with, but it’s also fairly expensive. So instead, it’s…

Whether you’re dressing up as a unicorn for Halloween, cosplaying as a galarian ponyta, or just want to be a narwhal, you’ll have to make a horn to match your costume. If you’re ambitious, you might also try to find a way to attach the horn directly to your forehead. This tutorial is a single-twist…
I am not good at tying bows. They always end up droopy, uneven, and upside down (somehow?). So for cosplay, I try to never rely on my ability to tie a pretty bow. Instead, I fake it. There are multiple methods you can use to fake a bow, but at its most basic, you’re just…
Making floppy dog ears is a little different than cat ears for a costume. In order for the material to accurately reflect the shape of a dog’s ear, you need to create a solid base for the ear (I used EVA foam for this), but leave the rest of the fabric loose. There are many…
