What was the most difficult thing you made for a cosplay?

Cosplaying isn't always as simple as following a pattern as there are tiny details that you need to achieve to get it right. Sometimes there isn't even a pattern to follow and you have to do special things to get it to work right. What is one of the most difficult things you made for a cosplay?

 

One of my most difficult things was getting this belt right for my daughter's Raven costume because it had these shiny gem things that I couldn't find a simple thing to make them with anywhere so I had to make them myself and figuring it out was not an easy task.

 

First I had to find what to make it out of and then how to shape it and the thing is just golden circles with these red gems on this string belt. So I figured I'd do it with clear glue and food coloring, I had actually found the most perfectly shaped buttons that I spray painted gold.

 

The problem at this point was the shape of the gem with this glue concoction. Well my BF suggested one of those cheap plastic paint palettes that you can get for like a dollar at Walmart. I was skeptical but I got them, filled them with my glue concoction and viola I had the shapes and they were the perfect size. I threaded the buttons onto my gold string, glued my new red gems to the button and there was her belt!
