The TV show "Supernatural" has gained so much popularity it is now in its 13th season and there is no sign of stopping! Cosplayers and fan alike will agree there are a few "must have" items for their fanddom collection and there are some iconic items including Ruby's Knife. I found this tutorial by Storm The Castle that shows you how to make Ruby's Knife out of common materials! They have even created a template for you!

I also made my own dead man's blood, pheonix ashes, specter ectoplasm & castiels grace!
Mostly just food coloring, water and oil but I used some transparent plastic for the grace! You can look up more tutorials on youtube!

DIY No Sew Bow Tie


What's better than seeing the guys in your life dappered up in a stylish bow-tie? When the bow-ties are specifically made by YOU!

This special DIY doesn't require any sewing skills or a trip to the store for supplies! With simple materials you can take absolutely any fabric you want and transform it into a custom-made bow-tie! Since you only need a little, try using a vintage scrap of something you love or a piece of fabric that means something to you and your family. But this DIY works on silks and other fancier fabrics too, making it ideal for every event.

THE TOOLS
  • > Roughly 1/2 yard of fabric (your choice)
  • > Scissors
  • > Ruler
  • > Iron and ironing board or surface
  • > Pencil
  • > Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • > Iron-on Velcro (Optional)

HOW TO
1. Measure and cut your pieces. You will need one of each of the following pieces: 20x3.5", 6x1.75", 8.75x4.5", 9.5x5". If you're making a child-sized bow-tie, you'll need to adjust the size accordingly.

2. Prep your pieces. Starting with the 9.5x5 and 8.75x4.5 rectangles, fold the two long sides to meet in the middle and iron to create flat folds. The fold the two end sides down and hot glue into place. Repeat for the the two narrow pieces.

3. Create the bow. Take the two rectangles and stack the smaller one on top of the larger one, securing in place with hot glue on each corner and in the middle. Next, fold in half towards you and hot glue directly in the center and pinch together. Turn your seam to the inside then fold in half and fold the sides down then secure with hot glue, holding in place to let the glue harden.


5. Assemble the bow-tie. With the bow facedown, use a little hot glue to attach the 20" strip, making sure to attach it in the middle. Next, glue one end of the 6" piece to the center of the back and wrap around the front of the bow and secure again in the back with hot glue, trimming it as needed to fit. An alternative method would be to secure the center piece first with hot glue and then safety pin on the strap.

6. Finally, if using velcro, iron on 3" of Velcro to the straps. Make sure to iron on opposite sides so they meet up to fasten together. If not, tie straps together then tuck under!

I hope you enjoyed this simple DIY!

Until next time. - D💋

Dean Winchester Makeup & Cosplay


Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) is one of the leading characters from the American television series Supernatural. Dean is a human who hunt spirits and paranormal creatures with the help of his younger brother Sam, his fathers old family friend Bobby Singer, and his best friend the angel Castiel.

So you want to dress up like Dean Winchester, huh?  Do a little Supernatural cosplay? In my opinion, Dean’s style of dress in Supernatural is pretty timeless. Heck, he even went back in time in one episode, and his wardrobe didn’t seem too out of place.  If you’re cosplaying as Dean Winchester or just love the look, I can see why.  It’s pretty simple and masculine.  I mean, you’re wearing boots, jeans and flannel.  How do you get manlier than that?

Before you don yourself with boots and leather jacket look a like, make sure you have these 10 essentials:

  1. Dean is always wearing some awesome looking jacket.  For true Supernatural cosplay and to be a real badass, you’ll have to get yourself a leather jacket.  Don’t forget to slightly pop the collar.  Not too much, just enough to let everyone know you are one cool dude.
  2. You cant be Dean without the tough guy 'tude. With a raspy voice, witty quips and the right facial expressions, no one’s gonna mess with you.
  3. If you are going to cosplay Dean Winchester, you have to get the music right.  No rap, no country, no pop. Just classic rock. Don’t be surprised if strangers start mistaking you as a character from Supernatural if you’ve made it this far down the list.  But we’re not finished yet. 
  4.  You’re not just going for a character from the show, but THEE character from the show. You can’t just wear any old pair of shoes or boots.  You need footwear that strikes fear into the hearts of demons, angels, and enemies alike. Courtesy of: your sole. No not your soul, your sole.
  5. Drink whiskey.  Straight.  Mixing hard alcohol is for wusses.  And you’re not a wuss, are you? Ok, so you’re just cosplaying.  Maybe you don’t want to be wasted 24/7.  That’s understandable.  So you need to find a good replacement.  Apple juice in a whiskey bottle?  No one will ever know, and you keep your badassery in check.
  6. Dude, Don’t Forget the Pie! Eat! Greasy burgers, greasy fries, gas station junk food, and of course, pie.  If you haven’t consumed at least a few thousand calories worth of junk in a day, you’re doing something very wrong. You’re a hunter!  You risk your life fighting evil bad guys all day long.  You’re sure to die in some gruesome and horribly painful way at the hands of one of the monsters you hunt.  No need to fear a puny little heart attack.
  7. Be Fiercely Loyal to Family - Whether it’s your adopted fallen angel brother, or your real brother that you’ve raised since you were a kid yourself, you are loyal.  No questions asked, they come first, everything else comes second. Just how loyal is “fiercely” loyal?  For starters, you should have zero problems with waltzing into Hell to save your brother.  Also, if your fallen angel buddy absorbs the souls of thousands of creatures from purgatory, thus becoming the most powerful angel to ever exist, you’d stand up to him.  Sure, he could erase you from existence without so much as batting an eyelash, but he’s your brother, and you’d do anything to help him. Even die.
  8. Wear a Sentimental Necklace - Ok, so your little brother may not have given you a God-detecting amulet necklace when you were a kid.  If you need one, you can get a great deal on Dean’s amulet. You’re a badass tough guy.  But you have a soft side, and a bit of sentimental jewelry can’t hurt, right? Speaking of your soft side…
  9. Have a Sentimental Side. You are one tough son-of-a-bitch.  People avoid looking directly at you out of fear and respect.  But buried deep, deep down inside of your hard outer shell is a soft core. But you’re Dean Winchester.  You can count on one hand how many people have seen you cry, or show any sensitive emotion.  So until you’ve been to Hell and back multiple times, and have had to sacrifice your soul for your little brother’s life…You don’t know what emotion is.
  10. Be Awesome. Last but not least, be awesome.  Dean Winchester cosplay isn’t just about the clothes and the attitude.  It’s about an overall awesomeness.  When you walk into the room, people just notice you.  You can’t help it, it’s just the way you are. Be sure to let people know you’re awesome.  Especially after you accomplish something great, like stopping the Apocalypse, or surviving purgatory with help from a vampire and an angel, for example.
Now onto the hard part... Makeup.

Take 1


Until next time. - D💋

Cosplay - Delta Red Cammy White - DIY How To Cammy Gloves


Cammy, full name Cammy White, has been a character in the Street Fighter universe since the release of the third installment in the game released in 1993. Code name Killer Bee, she was the second female playable character to be introduced after Chun Li. Her role was a deadly assassin that would do Bison’s bidding, she lost her memory and joined the British as an M16 operative and fighter for her new government. Gaining further attention for her sex appeal, creating your own Cammy cosplay will be fun and bad ass!

There are a few things you will need when making your own Cammy costume.

  • Red Beret
  • Long Blonde Wig (Braided into 2 braids)
  • Green Sleeveless Mockneck Bodysuit
  • Red and Yellow Patches (hat and chest) 
  • Nude Tights
  • Army Green Stripes (legs) 
  • Socks & Boots
  • Red Forearm Armor/Fighting Gloves


All of those things can be found and pieced together however there is going to be one thing you wont be able to find without it costing you your arm and leg. That is cammy's gloves, or fighting armor. Screw getting on etsy and trying to pay someone when you can totally make them yourself! I am here to show you how!

I decided to become cammy as my first cosplay, which was also shot by Dragonfly Studios.




It may look fancy but trust me this is going to be easier than you think!


I made the base of the gloves and the knuckles out of 3mm craft foam, you can find it at Hobby Lobby or Michael's. You could also use 1mm, just layer it up.. The thick parts on the ends of the gloves were eva foam. I recommend measuring around your arm and stenciling on the foam before you cut anything out. I used old gardening gloves and chopped the fingers off before I put on the knuckles. Simply glue together with plain old super glue!


You could paint everything in a layer of Modge Podge, the matte kind. It not only primes the surface for the paint, but also adds some strength to the craft foam! I didn't have time nor felt like it so I took them outside and doused them with red spray paint. You can use acrylic paints, but it can take longer to dry.

Only one last tip: watch getting glue on your hands and the surface you are working on because it gets everyyyyyyyywhere!

Until next time. - D💋
