Dang...how much are pipe cleaners? It sounds like it could get expensive really fast. x:

To get six 100-packs plus the string I got was $23
Tho it dropped to ~$16.50 after mom's employee discount was added

Wow...3k pipe cleaners would be around $80 then? o___O That sounds pretty hefty price-wise compared to getting fabric.

Some day I wanna do OOAK Dolls. There's two I really want to make, but first I need to get some cheap dolls to work with. I'll wait till next month when I go to the charity place maybe I can get a couple of dolls to work with.

What are OOAK Dolls? o:

If we go with 600=$20
6x5=30, makes 600x5=3k
So we triple the $20, it is closer to $60

There's also the plastic canvas, which is less than a dollar for one, and I'm at ~30 red, ~10 black and ~6 blue
Definitely not using all of them in the cosplay, but having extra is handy cuz I have to redo parts on occasion

Mom had the yarn for years, the nail polish to reinforce the yarn is cheap

Still gotta make the dress, which at this rate includes buying a sewing machine (we can't find the one that works), cuz I am not making that out of palstic canvas and pipe cleaners

And I've about two weeks left
And the skirt is still not done. Least it's close x.x

A "one of a kind" doll. Also known as doll repaints. You take a doll and repaint them, you can reroot them to your choice of color, make them look like your own characters or like an existing character ex: a barbie style Sailor Moon.

You can make their outfits and everything. They also have beads for doll jewelry too and tools for rerooting and everything. Well basically everything.

Ooh, show us if you do?

Oh what I did was 16.50/600 = 0.0275 dollars per individual pipe cleaner, and multiplied that by 3000 pipe cleaners to get $82.5. I think in the way you did it you would multiply the $20 by 5 to get $100, since you'd need 5 packs of 600?

Ahhh I think I've seen people make those dolls before! Some of them look pretty amazing. * o * Is there a certain design you're trying to make?

I'm over 1300 on the skirt, it'll prolly be around 1400 all told, since I'm nearly done with it

I don't know how many for the vest I'll be using, but I have two 350 packs if the black that provides the base color and several mix packs of the blues

I hate math <________>

I'm prolly gonna be around four digits if I end up buying a sewing machine, since I'll want one that's not a cheap piece of crap, which would've happened regardless of how the rest was done

And officially less than two weeks to make ~3/4 of a cosplay
