Cosplay 101: Tutorials and Tips

Photo by Aperture Ashley

Cosplay 101 is a series for cosplay tutorials, tips, and tricks! From the planning stages to caring for props and wigs, I hope to have a wide range of information here for cosplayers old or new.

I'm an Open Book Cosplayer! This means I am happy to answer any questions about cosplay. I'm not an expert at anything, but I will do my best to explain my processes. Let me know if you have any questions about any cosplay topics!

Have a topic you want covered? Shoot me a message on Twitter or through email!
