Make or find a pattern for a cone shape the size you need that you can just cut out of sheet cardboard or large pieces to make it easier and quicker to construct. Good luck. Post pics of what you made!

NIce! Now waiting for you to turn a John Deere into a sewing machine, able to plow through several layers of denim or leather at once. Although, a PFAFF should already have several horses under the hood.btw, only noticed this from the ibles robot tweet

Add a servo to make the needle move...

I recommend building the frisbee-creme-pie-cake-flinger with flamethower...

Can't tell with that mask on...

Haha! Better late than never. As long as the ingredients are fresh.

Thanks. Good to wear for social distancing as people go around you or stay away.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks. Hmmm, I don't know how intricate your design is but to make anything without advanced gear like a 3D printer or lasercutter, you will definitely have to go low res and lose a lot of detail to make it easy. The embossed pattern should be simplified to get rid of stringy lines and try to consolidate all the blocky areas into one mass.That said, you might try to create a thick stencil and apply thickened fabric paint to fill in. Since you have a large area to cover, 3D fabric paint might get expensive so try to do a print with acrylic painter's caulk for house painting. You can tint is somewhat before use but is paintable afterwards.If you are trying to create embossed appliques / stickers, you have to get into that game of moldmaking, materials, techniques.

You can tint is somewhat before use but is paintable afterwards.If you are trying to create embossed appliques / stickers, you have to get into that game of moldmaking, materials, techniques. The main issue is that any kind of fabric is flexible and will be flexed, bent, folded, creased when worn. You have to think how to make sure your "embossing" sticks and stays adhered. Maybe you can use cut sheets and pieces of thin flat craft foam glued and everything painted over. I'm not a cosplayer but there are many tutorials and videos out there giving advice. Good luck.

Thanks. Enough talk, just make one!

Thanks! The beauty of it is building from junk you might have taking up space to make more space junk.

Dang, you should be SMA by now. Although there is probably a pine cone somewhere that needs to be policed up.Bake bread. Watch mold grow on it. Stay safe.

Chairborne! You still in? Good to hear from you.You're probably thanking yourself now for hoarding those MREs...and the square of TP included with them.

That's great! It proves that any ordinary cardboard box can be transformed into something special and everyone has a super hero power.

Wow, and featured on Maker Update https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtsXA8kzjas&feature=emb_logo

That's fantastic! Welcome to the world of wearables. As you get better with programming you will see the endless possibilities of animating the lights for special effects.Although the "thigh-pack" batteries are amusing, not to airport security, note that LiPo battery packs can be hazardous if damaged or shorted out where they heat up and may explode. Do make a fanny pack or move it to a pocket sewn on the dress where you can easily get to it when things go wrong. Do browse through my list of instructables or look through the adafruit.com blog and learn tutorial section to get more ideas on what you can do with wearables, make something and share.

Spread the fun and joy of wearables.I always recommend a fiberfill batting layer to diffuse the LED strips and you do have to really cover in hot glue or caulk the wire connections to the strips for strain relief, considering not too much heat was applied in soldering to weaken the pad on the strip...so much fun. Ask if you've got any questions. Happy to help! Good luck in the contest!

Oh, that's a reference to the ISO Standard Calibration Werewolf meme that I ran into on Twitter. It seems to be a thing there.

Also packing in a tuft of fiberfill batting works well to diffuse the harsh points of light from the LEDs essentially making it a nice tiny lightbox. It would be fun to put tiny x-ray slides up to it.

That's great. Add another flap of fabric and you can have foot sock-puppets. I think my sewing machine has maybe 40 different stitch settings but only have used maybe 5, looks like you have a whole lot more to try.

Thanks. It's fun to just experiment with what you can sew up.

Thanks, I see it is entered and got the email notifications.

Thanks.I've tried many times and in Chrome, Safari and iphone to enter the contest. After you click on to verify country and select the ible, it displays ENTERED and nothing else happens. I go back in and it still shows up as eligible to be entered in a contest. It's wonky.

Oh, that was made so very long ago in an unheated garage in the winter but it may have taken a good weekend. Nothing really complicated to do and just waiting for glue and paint to dry. It helps to have a power saw and a template to cut all the pieces. Then it’s just assembly line production. I now have an air compressor and brad nailer which would have sped things up. Use good wood if you can and invest in the biggest pocket hole tool you can get since you will definitely make more stuff with it. Good luck.

Thanks. It's more of a product of expressing the interest/passion you have in a hobby like this https://www.instructables.com/Build-Scale-Model-Rockets/

Nice to hear from you. This is keyboard cat from the catmeister https://www.instructables.com/Meow-Keyboard-Output-Jack/

Thanks. Rock on!

Thanks. It's still subject to gravity unlike the shelf you made.

Thanks. I guess I may have been in the teens when I watched it. Even though those shows were more of the "disaster" genre it seemed to instill a sense of optimism or some kind of thought that is missing in today's entertainment.

Thanks, you should do this with a RIBBA shelf for an IKEA hack.

Thanks, you should give it a try, so many crafts to be crafted. Lots of classic stuff from shows of Irwin Allen or Gerry Anderson.

Thanks for the "out of this world" compliment!

Cool! Maybe you helped to put man on the moon.

Thanks. It was really put together quickly and just to pass time waiting for the kid to come home for the holidays. It would be fun to use this as an exercise in design. It can be turned into an enclosed cabinet of some sorts - there is a sliding glass door to get access to the tape reels and glass doors for the bottom on the actual unit. Now what would IKEA do if they applied this to a set of bookcases...

Thanks. I hope more than 10 people (you and I) get the geeky humour.

Welcome to Instructables! That's great! It's cool to have mood lighting to stare at.

A new family tradition to pass on to your kids. Made with love.

Very good! May I suggest that you put a simple stiff wire loop that goes around the top of the glue gun when it is in the holder? It can big and loose as it is a safety to keep the glue gun in the holder so that it does not go flying when the cord is snagged or when the glue gun is unbalanced when hastily perched in the holder. It happens! You've also got room to put a nice warning sticker that the hot glue is hot! Thanks for the ible.

Now that's a knife...Good to see you are still at it and resourceful as ever.Does the anvil need to be bolted down to the stump or does the pine tar keep it in place? Wouldn't want something bouncing around to land on your toes.

Good G-d! Think of all the people with gluten allergies and a host of other things that humans have not evolved a resistance to. This message may have been typed on machinery that may have been in contact with other food products, and coffee.

That is great!(You should use a cropped photo of you in the "demon baby" gown as the starting image for the ible - just go back in to edit. That is such a fun idea. Also fun to stick the lights in anything you find, in a pillow, under the mattress covers, behind the curtains...)
