My next immediate cosplay project is coming up this weekend. Now that I'm done with my costume except for a few minor fixes, I'm working on my stepdaughter's next. She wants to go to Anime Boston as an Atkatsuki ninja from "Naruto Shippuden."
So naturally, one of the things I had to look for was a pattern for the red and white clouds on the cloak. The first thing I found was a guide for placement, which I thought would be a big help once I found the patterns.
So even after a Google search, and after finding one person's clouds weren't going to help me, I finally decided to cut the cloud outlines from the side of the tutorial from a printout that I made earlier and increase the size of each of the pictures.
So here are the templates that I made:
What you'll want to do is right click on each of these pictures, choose "Save As," and save them to a file. Use a photo program to either increase the size of each picture to 8.5" by 11" or choose "Full page" as a printing option. What I used was HP Photo Essentials that came with my printer and chose "Full Size" when printing. If for some reason it doesn't print out to the full size of the paper, trace the image in pencil and then follow the pattern around it.
Here's a
good tutorial on how to make the clouds once you have your patterns. I plan on adding black dimentional paint as an outline to make them "pop" more and to hide the stitching a little bit.
I hope that helps some people who are making the cloaks. This weekend I'll take pictures of the progress on the cloak itself.
Thank you
