So roughly 36" in total depending on the box you use. i made the 2 main pieces long enough to come out about 24" from the main box and go inside the length of the box. I cut 2 pieces of the exact same size and dimensions. I used foam board for the big pieces of the blade (not the chainsaw teeth. The chainsaw blade was actually my favorite part of the build and was what I was looking forward to the most. If you don't have any of the clothing in your closet for Sebastian's get up, remember that thrift stores and Goodwill are your friends. I had bought a Black Butler pocket watch from Ebay like the one he uses on the show, but it wasn't going to arrive until after the con so I just bought some chain material and kept the pocket watch after it arrived for my daughter's mini Black Butler collection. Got some cool stuff from Michael's for around $6. Every man should have at least one white dress shirt.ģ.

It came with only the jacket and pants.Ģ. It was about 3 sizes larger than me, however the coat fit enough that I figured I could attempt an alteration. Black tux I was lucky enough to find at a thrift shop for $20. This was the most expensive part of the costume and this and the glasses were the only pieces I had no part in altering. Not exactly sure of the price, but with her discount, around $5.Ĩ. I was going to make my own, however my girlfriend was a manager at Hot Topic at the time and they got some in and bought them for super cheap. Black trim and Bow material found at Michael's ($5)ħ. Kid size black vest and white shirt found at Goodwill ($6 for both)Ĥ. Kid size black dress pants found at a thriftshop ($3)Ģ. I'm glad I did because not only was it about a quarter of the price, it was a lot more fun!ġ. I considered buying the costume on a cosplay site or on Ebay, however after looking at their prices and the materials involved in making it, I decided to have a go at it myself. Here's some mildly informative steps on my Black Butler construction. Booker Dewitt and Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite. Rose City is coming up again and we are going as characters from one of her favorite video games. During my next cosplay which I will be starting soon, I will be sure to take more pictures during the process. I've disassembled the chainsaw some so I took pictures after completion to show more steps. This is my first instuctable post and I didn't originally intend on making a tutorial so there aren't too many pictures of the process. She chose me to go as Sebastian Michaelis which I was cool with because he's just the coolest and his outfit is pretty straight forward. I agreed with that choice after watching every episode of Black Butler with her and seeing how cool Grell was. After viewing shows and pictures, I decide whether or not they are appropriate and start to get busy on them.įor Wizard World Comicon this year in Portland, she couldn't decide on either Ciel Phantomhive or Grell Sutcliff for herself, but ultimately decided to go with Grell. She always comes up with the ideas for her costumes, which tend to be anime characters I had never heard of until she showed me who they were. This is my first attempt at doing a complete costume for the both of us and while it was difficult with my limited crafting abilities, I have to say that it was a blast. Now we both share that passion and I'm going to create her outfits and accessories from here on out. She found a new home in the cosplay community which made me happy to see her so passionate about something so awesome. We went and she dressed up as RWBY (another instructable on that later). I had never been to one but had always wanted to. About a year ago, my daughter begged me to take her to Rose City Comicon here in Portland.
