AFAID 2013

Minna-san konnichiwa!!

Yesterday I went to Anime Festival Asia Indonesia 2013 (AFA ID) in Jakarta Convention Center!
Can you guess who am I?
It was very crowded, I could barely walk. The line for the ticket was incredibly long as well.
As you guys know, it's Anime Festival ASIA. So there aren't only Indonesian people there but also other asians, such as: Japanese (doh), Singaporeans, Malaysians, and more!
There were a lot of cosplayer* there!  
And of course I also cosplayed.



I bought the Rp.150,000,- ticket. So I didn't see the concert. Which was too bad, 'cause I love ''BabyMETAL''

But it wasn't that bad. There were a lot of very friendly people, cute anime merchandises, and cameras!

Indeed, there are a lot of people asking me for pictures (more than 15, I think?). Sadly though, I don't know where do they upload it :(

*cosplayer: people who dress up as a character from movies, video games, and/or anime

DRESS


I personally LOVE this dress!
 Just for you guys to know, I didn't buy it online. Why? Because a lot of shopping websites can not ship to Indonesia, and because it's very very expensive.

Here's a much cheaper way to make your costume:
1. Sew it yourself!! or if you can't, buy the fabric materials and hire someone to sew it.

The dress itself costs about 50 dollars itself. But I only spent like about 30 dollars. But of course, I didn't sew it myself (I can't) I hired someone to sew it. And as you can see it turns out beautifully!

The big bow on the back of the dress is never actually stitched together. There are a pair of buttons on it and the dress, so it's easy to put on and off.



BUTTERFLY HEADPHONES


I literally just glued it to my a borrowed headphones of mine.
Just to help you guys out, I'll write the steps.

HOW TO MAKE A SUPER QUICK AND EASY BUTTERFLY HEADPHONES
  1. Buy any hard paper materials, if you can buy the black one it'd be great (such as cardboard)
  2. Paint it black (if not yet black)
  3.  Google for the base picture of the butterfly, or just use these pictures
    The butterfly wings base
  4. Print it (I know, huge right? The round thingy base is under the last step)
  5. Cut the paper materials into 2 circle shapes and 2 butterfly wings. (you could trace the cutting pattern with the wings you printed)
  6. Stick one of the round thingy onto one of the circle shape, do the same to the other.
  7. Repeat step 6 for the butterfly wings
  8. Glue the round thingy right beside your headphones. Leave just a little space.
  9. Lastly glue the butterfly wings underneath each of the round thingy, right on the little space you created
  10. Voila!
  11. The round thingy base


So that practically just it. And if you're lucky it may just turns out right!

Sorry if it's hard to understand, I'm not the best teacher.
