Current progress on Garnet's gauntlet. Lot of steps. I'll upload to my Tumblr soon. #wip #cosplay #cosplaybuilding #inprogressmess #stevenuniverse #garnet #garnetsgauntlets

Pic 1! PVC pipe! Cut to fit the inside of the gauntlet. You want it snug but not to the point that it changes the shape of the tube. I recommend sanding the rough edges. Pic 2! Placement of the handle is important! Enough clearance to hold it without passing the top. (Excuse my horrible tracing mess) Pic 3 & 4! Going to need cheap paint brushes and contact cement for gluing. WARNING: contact cement fumes are dangerous! When using please be outside, I don't recommend a well ventilated room.. It's too strong. Always read and follow the directions. Pic 5! Going to make brackets for the handle, I'll be using the foam - it's sturdy enough for the job. Pic 6 &7! Measure, mark and glue with the cement. (I'm not going into detail with the gluing process) The handle fits nicely, so glue your top brackets on. And always, hot glue gun for max support!! This is the handle, ya know. Pic 8! Let dry and test it out! Yeah! Handle! Starting to come together well!
