HI Guys! I'm finally back with another DIY Video!! Sorry for the long wait! I've been really busy with work and stuffs ( ^ ^ | | |)

In this tutorial, I'll be sharing with everyone how I made the red gem for my Shakugan No Shana Alastor necklace Cosplay.

This method, is basically build on sculpting Hot Glue, with fire. It can be a very dangerous procedure but the effect are really smooth finishing that looks authentic and 'store-bought' =)

I've been toying with the idea of doing something amazing with hot glue since first discovering the glue 10 over years ago as a kid. I never thought cosplay would one day allow me to XD. As I just couldn't find an Alastor necklace of the right size online and didn't have time to order from Cospa. My last resort was to handmade it. And I'm really pleased with the end product =) It might not be perfect but I am so proud of it =)

My apologises for the lack of more progress photographs and if my instructions weren't clear enough =(.


*±* P/s: No voice over this time so i don't have to apologise for my accent again xD! Yeah! I'm loving the music lots! XD

  • What kind of ink is good for coloring?

  • @MirrorWink I used the red ink from an old and almost dried up ballpoint pen xD

  • can i use lemonade sirup for the coloring ?XD i cant figure out where i can get colouring so fast...

    Nice vid!

  • @jocoolmen I don't think syrup would work... you can just get the ink from old marker pens or buy them from a bookstore.

  • Try resin. You can still get a shinny gem but you have to be in a well ventilated area or outside to use it. Not only does it smell bad from what I hear but it's bad for you to breath it in. There are all sorts of tutorials online that explain how to make them. You can even add foil to the back of the gem to make them shinnier. Unfortunatily I have never tried resin but from what I've seen in videos they look very beautiful. Maybe you can give it a try next time.

  • @CrimsonEevee Resin's the best. But they cost a lot more.....

  • all your vids are so good, but im trying to make a saiyan scouter right now, and cant find any good 'how to' vids, and thought youd have some ideas. i thought i could alter this idea, and make it flat, so i could make a sort of screen. what do you think?^^ id love to have some ideas!^^

  • im going to try this and i seen the video when u went to japan one of my life long dreams is to go to tokyo and learn japanese

  • I tried using oils rather than inks, and it came out as matte and not shiny and semitransparent like this one. Can the oils be the reason pls?
