Akemi Homura's Stockings
Post By Guest. 06/08/11, 07:09 pm

This is Akemi Homura from Madoka;

Spoiler:
 



as you can see in the picture, she has those diamonds in her stockings, so i'm wondering, how would i do that?
since i've been told that if i sew it on, it'll get stretched and if i wear it and sew it, i dont think i have enough confidence to do that.

i would like to use a method to stick the diamonds on and be able to take them off afterwards, if possible.

so, what do you think i should do. ;;

I just... painted mine on by hand ; v ;)
You can't get them off afterwards, sadly.
LOL painstaking job /you have to wear them while you paint and while you dry

Neither is completely accurate, but these two are both close if you'd prefer to buy rather than try to make. :)

If there's an Aussie Sox around near where you are, they might have argyle-like ones like those. Love Aussie Sox Very Happy

I used fabric paint ; v;) I painted them with a colour that's sitting around lavender, when it dries it looks a little bit darker because of the colour of the tights so it's basically accurate * o *

Good luck though, I can tell you from firsthand experience that it is a very awkward painting job :I

Oh, the Ebay one looks close enough. ~___~ I'll resort to that if I cannot find it in the end. Thank you!~
