Oh you’ve done it now (started a rant)!!

(I put it under the cut so it’s not suuuuuuch a long post :D)

So, from the top, I made Spock’s ears: I sadly don’t have any pictures for this part (for now.) BUT, Making ears is actually supper easy and fun! The way I did it, is by taking some thin gardening wire (or other wire which is light and easily mailable). You make a loop out of it by connecting the ends and then shape it so the bottom vaguely fits behind your ear. It will basically straddle your ear and copy the curve of it. The top of this artificial ear is then molded to vaguely resemble the ear you’re making. But frankly, don’t worry about it too much, we just want to get the general feel for the shape and size here. Then, the fun part begins, because you take some liquid glue and a layer of toilet paper, you put the glue on the toilet paper and you cover the wire with it. (I kinda just closed the paper around the wire like a book and then cut around the shape of the wire to remove any of the excess paper). Then you put it back on your ear (move all hair aside, else it will stick to the gluey conglomerate) and you shape it to actually fit your ear properly and to have the desired shape. Then you let it try and work on the other ear in the meantime.

The color: for now the ear is just white, so once it’s completely dry (it should also solidify because of the glue), you can put another coat of glue over it and carefully cover it with skin-colored (or any other color I guess) crepe paper. You’ll never get all the wrinkles out of it, but it is possible to get it to be quite smooth.

And tadaaaa you have your very own ear extensions that just kinda hold on your ears without any attachments! For me, they tend to hold quite nicely actually, even if I shake my head a bunch. I’ve also found that if you wear glasses, putting on the ears first and then the glasses over them, both will hold decently enough!

The Insignia: I hand embroidered mine using some yellow and black embroidery thread. Using either a long and short stitch or a brick stitch worked great for me. Here is a tutorial I used for the long and short stitch if you’re interested :) https://youtu.be/UPyg1j9sLHs?si=25mtpGoJhSemF6_J

I then cut the shape out with enough free fabric on the sides (basically seam allowance). Here, it’s nice to remember that you can always cut away more fabric later if you have too much, but it will be annoying if you have too little.

Then I cut the same shape out of some sturdier paper and glued it to the back of the embroidery, turning the corners and gluing them to the back so they are out of the way. This step can be really annoying, because the shape is uneven and the fabric generally refuses to cooperate. For me, I still had some of the fabric showing from the front…

If your fabric refuses to stay in place while it dries, you can also fasten it down with just regular laundry clips.

Finally, I cut another shape out of the sturdy paper and glued it over the back to hide all the ugly glue and fabric edges.

(Try to make sure your glue is fabric safe, it’d be a shame if the glue messed up the fabric after all the nice work you put into the embroidery!)

The horrible terrible wrist insignias:

I have a vendetta against whoever designed these damn things, because in the show they look just like a simple strap of just golden fabric, BUT THEY’RE NOT! They’re this stupid, convoluted shape where a strip of it like, winds around the body of the insignia. Just, here, let me save you hours of searching for a good picture of the design (or asking for a high resolution picture of Spock’s wrists on Tumblr.com like me…). Here is the insignia design:

Now, that this mini rant is out of the way, onto how I made these things: I had a sheet of sturdy paper which had golden foil on one side, so I decided to make them out of that. I measured how big my wrist is at the places where the insignias would be, and then drew the pattern from above on a spare piece of paper to use as a stencil.

Now, and this is important, I turned the golden paper over so that I could draw on the white side. But that means I also had to flip the stencil over, otherwise the spiral on the insignia would be going the wrong way (which I definitely didn’t learn the hard way… Nuh uh.)

I then cut the shaped strips of golden paper out and used the back of a thin paintbrush to just carve the spiral into the golden side. Please, be smarter than me and number your strips so you remember which one goes where on your arms.

Putting them on: Because the shirt of the uniform is stretchy but the paper of the wrist insignias is not, I opted to put small strips of Velcro on the ends of each insignia and just put them on separately. I also put another strip of Velcro on the inside of the insignia and on the dress shirt, so they don’t scoot around too much. (If this explanation sounds confusing, in a few days I’ll be back home where I have the cosplay and might be able to get you a picture explaining this.)

These strips ended up being quite flimsy and I think there is a better way to make them (maybe using some sort of a stretchy yarn on the wrists of the dress shirt directly??)

The dress shirt: The dress shirt I simply bought in a thrift store in a color which I thought would fit well enough. I then put another black shirt with a raised collar underneath to mimic the black collar that the uniforms have. I put one piece of Velcro on the shirt where the embroidered Insignia would go, and glued the other side of the Velcro on the back of the insignia. This way all of the insignias are easily removable and also swappable if you wanna make more of them :)

The tricorder: This was the big one, and I know this post is already long enough (sorry, not sorry) so brace yourself.

The body of the tricorder is made out of a couscous box with a portion of the top cut off so it fit the proportions better. Then I glued a piece of cardboard to the top from the back to serve as the openable compartment at the top. This is kind of what it looked like:

As you can see on the picture above as well, I thought the top looked a little flat so I made a smaller box from cardboard, stuck it together with masking tape and painted it to look like the little computer on top of a tricorder like this:

Beware, this little computer has to be smaller than you expect, otherwise the Tricorder lid won’t be able to close. Make sure to test the dimensions out before you assemble and paint your little computer. :)

Color: I had a piece of fake leather leftover from a different project I was making before, so I simply used that to cover the entire couscous box. I measured the box and made a stencil from paper for myself to make sure it would actually cover the entire box (you do NOT want to know how many tries that took me…….) I then cut the shape from the fake leather, painted it black with (cheap) acrylic paint and used hot glue to attach it to the box. Hot glue can also be painted over so if you mess up some of your seams, just run the black paint over them and it somewhat hides it.

I also painted the lid (under where the little computer will go), and the inside of the box.

Finally, I took some gray paint and painted lines on the front of the box to look like the other compartments of the tricorder. I also took the ends of some cheap chopsticks, painted those gray and used them as knobs that open these painted on compartments.

The strap is stuck on using a combination of grommets and hot glue. But frankly, just using instant glue is the play here because this really didn’t stick very well.

Final product here :)

And I think that’s it! Wear with black pants, black boots and most importantly confidence!! :D

Have fun! (And feel free to send me a pic of the finished outfit if you make it and feel comfortable sending that to a stranger on the internet XD)

If you (or anyone else for that matter) wants to follow this impromptu tutorial and needs some more help, feel free to PM me!
