Aerith's Bracelet Thingies

[Pixel]

Does anyone know where I can buy something resembling Aerith's bracelet things? I've seen crappy versions on cosplay shopping sites, but they look awful.

I wouldn't even really know how to make something like that. :/

Hmm do you mean the ones from her original design or from AC? Both designs look sort of industrial to me, Like they're made from plumbing offcuts or pipes or something. Maybe B&Q would have something similar?

EDIT: found these on Amazon, they're not exactly right (or cheap!) but they're in the ball park

Is this for cosplay or a gift? Depending on how much you want to spend it might be worth checking out Etsy and getting something custom made. I'll keep searching for "cuff bracelets/bangles" and see if I can find anything else.

hmmm I might be able to make them out of foam strips sprayed silver.

Im not sure if I'll do it, but I was thinking of trying to do a draw my life thing as Aerith.

Could be funny as other characters, like Sephiroth or Cloud, before he learned the truth

IMHO, I'd build up the shape with craft foam, then wrap calico bandages around them to give definition before spray-painting them silver. If you do that, make sure you primer them first or it'll have a shitty finish. Dry-brushing detail if you're that anal would look good too.

Draw my life thing? What's that?

I think i am on right place. You should buy your choice of bracelets from Sonal's Bijoux and Adawna jewellery Shopping store. This shop is well known for bangles and bracelets.

Looking at it, making them might not be all that hard..

Alternatively you can buy them here

Another good suggestion is finding someone who makes cosplay accessories with a 3d printer. I've seen some good Game of Thrones accessories made with 3d printers on cosplay pages, and those aren't near as simple as Aerith's bracelets. Look on Etsy for some good shops.

Guys, the thread is three years old and got bumped by a spambot

 

[lithiumkatana17]

I realize that, but I posted something anyway just to help out other members who may cosplay Aerith in the future.

 

[Lex]

In fairness we're very lax about necro rules here so it's not a problem

 

[Channy]

I did not realize that because Pixel was talking bout his Draw My Life

Now I'm wondering what the historical reason for disliking resurrecting old threads was,

I do know there used to be some technical reason (same with closing threads after an X amount of posts), but that's no longer relevant.

 

[Ghost X]

If I'm new to a forum (which I haven't been for several years now), I like to post in eeeevery thread that I can (threads I have an opinion on, etc), which might be annoying to older members? .

 

[Cthulhu]

...maybe it's just you, not the age of the threads

 

[Flare]

I've seen some old threads before that looked fun to post in, but I don't because they're like 2 years old.

 

[Cthulhu]

Do it anyway








Especially if it's a n00dz thread,

....Age of thread notwithstanding, aren't they just bigass bangles. I mean, they kind of just look like manillas, or choodi.

 

[Cjiadon]

I felt they wore just like big bangles made out of whatever was lying around made into jewelry. I never got the feeling all three bands were connected, but I also never wanted to cosplay her so I've never done a study on her design.
