Akemi Homura's Stockings
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  _________________

| 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!~
