• 3x cans of spray paint, £7 each;
• 2x large rolls of coloured/striped tape, about £4 each;
• 1x tube of brown acrylic paint from Cass Art, about £2;
• Yellow rope, about £4.
I also went to Cass Art on a specific day and they gave me a box of free stuff, including red spray
paint and blue acrylic paint, which I used on the armour.
Emergency Cosplay (On an Even Bigger Budget)!
Being a fashion student, I don’t finish projects until the night before they’re due and I had a
chainsaw malfunction on the Friday evening before MCM. This called for emergency cosplay.
Enter: Shaun of The Dead costume. I found a black skirt, white shirt, long grey socks and brogues.
I got a picture of Shaun’s ‘sales adviser’ badge and changed it to my name, printed it off and
found the £8 cricket bat I’d bought for Halloween and covered it and myself in the fake blood I’d
bought from Claire’s Accessories for £3.
