Cosplay trident

This is a cosplay trident I have made, and I really want to share this with you all, because maybe there are some cosplay lovers out there.

This trident belongs to Mukuro Rokudo from Katekyo Hitman Reborn! It's also owned by Chrome Dokuro, which is the cosplay I have, and the reason I have made it.

It's going to be a really long post, and I will not do this in Danish ;)

This is the items I have used:

I have used:

Paper (of course it's recycled!)

Old newspapers

Black marker pen

Normal pencil

Scissor

Tape

Paint brush

Decoupage glue

Grey cardboard

White craftfoam

A tube from a tinfoil

Chopsticks

Black and silver spray paint

Gluegun

Black paint

The most expensive thing of this list, is the sprays, they cost quite a bit.

Now I'm going to show you, with pictures, how I managed to make this trident.

First thing I did, was take the newspapers and make them into cones, like the christmas cones (....xD)

Like this! ^^ Then tape it together.

After making A LOT of them, I made some of normal paper too (remember to recycle!!!)

Here are the ones of paper, remember to make one there is taller than the others.

To make the newspaper cones fit into the paper cones, I did as the picture above. One cone on the other, and then draw around it, then cut.

When you have solid enough cones, then you should glue them together. I did so with the decoupage glue. I painted it on with my brush and then put it together. It holds it very good.

Moving on, I poked a hole in the tube, well I "poked" the hole with a knife, and then I forced one of the chopsticks through the hole to make sure the hole was "chopstick-size". (Be careful if you use a knife!)

Then I glued the chopstick in the tube with my gluegun. (Be careful with that too, it's damn hot)

I glued some cardboard down in the top of the tube, so the hole was covered. (I just thought of it as a good idea)

To make the small spikes on the trident, I made flowers like the one above. I made them from the craft foam. It came to look like this:

As you can see on the picture above, I made space between the flowers with some circles also made from the craftfoam.

So it turned out like this ^^

And as you can see, I made two "platforms" on each end, they are for the big spikes.

Next up: BIG SPIKES!

This step is easy; glue on the big spikes ^^

I made a kinda platform for the biggest spike too. This I made from the craftfoam too. (Looks a bit stupid, but it will look a bit better later on)

As the next thing, I covered the spase between the spikes with craftfoam, and then I glued the small spikes on to each other, so they don't just point in all directions.

Then with more craftfoam I made this ^^ remember to make it look exactly like this on the other side!

I also taped the big spikes, because if you ad spray paint to paper, it might wrinkle. (But you will also get tape marks on your spikes when you tape them, the smaller tape the more marks)

The next thing I did, was to spray paint the entire thing silver. I don't have a picture of that, or the fact that I painted the spaces between the craftfoam (the brown part on the upper picture) black with normal paint. But that you can see on the next pictures.

So first up, I drew the pattern with a pencil, and then I painted it with silver paint.

And then I did the same thing on the other side!

And then it was done and looks like the first picture you saw :)

As for the staff part of this trident, I have made it from a branch from a tree. You could also buy a plastic "stick" that fits into the trident head, but I haven't had the time to go look for one, so mine is made of wood, and that's what I used the black spray paint for, because the staff is black.

I hope you could use this to make your own, or to get some inspiration.

Momo says goodnight :P
