Making A Mera Costume FT. Duck Funeral

I'm sick if you're wondering why I'm sick let me give you this piece of advice never chew ABC the students were already been chewed gum that has just recently come out of the mouth of a sick person shout-out to Ella for making all of this happen slow mo sneezes are literally like the coolest thing in cinema so recently we lost a hero Stanley actually he was not a hero but he invented a lot of heroes this is McAra from the future and I have come back to redact my statement about Stanley not being a hero I googled it and it turns out he is a world war two veteran and he was a pretty cool guy so I wanted to honor him by making maybe a Captain Marvel costume then I looked up her costume and I was like that looks way too hard but I came across this green scaly stuff and I was like I could totally make a Mehra costume instead mer from Aquaman because Aquaman's coming out soon anyway that'd be perfect and then I remembered Aquaman is not Marvel it's DC which is like the rival of Stanley so I'm literally doing the opposite of what I set out to do and I'm sorry but I already bought the fabric so I started by making those awkward little chest pieces out of craft foam you could also use a heavy interfacing or something of the such and I cut out these general shapes and then glued them together with hot glue took them apart made adjustments glued them together over and over and over again if you want to know the exact measurements of them hopefully that helps if that doesn't help maybe that hope that doesn't help me that helps that doesn't maybe that there so I'm gonna trace these pieces onto my fishy fabric another potentially helpful suggestion would be cover a bra with this fabric like literally that would be so much easier but if you're going to do it my silly way you're going to trace your for trust pieces onto some fabric glue the two chess pieces together then sew the two fabric pieces together and glue them to the craft foam make sure you have the audio in this next clip is a little quiet so feel free to read the subtitles to find out exactly what I was saying I'm just [Music] leaning up the pools of blood I traced this shape off myself cut these lines out of it and then sewed it together exactly as it was stitches were just for decorative purpose oh these are the pieces that I kind of have now but for right now I'm gonna have to take a break and I need to go outside and bury my pet duck that actually died three days ago but I just felt like I was not physically able to break the frozen ground and dig a hole for this duck I kind of feel like I'm finally healthy enough so yeah so here it is the tumors Pet Sematary the problem is I have no idea where to dig I have no idea where any of the bike twelve pets we've buried over the years are so I don't know if I'm gonna run into them this patch so what's the difference I mean that's where the raccoon is I know why don't you just get your strong precious father well he is precious and he is strong and he totally will if I don't but we can't let that happen because as I have mentioned before on this broadcast he is very very old and you don't just have old people do things that you can do even if you are weak Oh soft spot I know if I just push through and get deep enough it'll get easier she's the deeper down you get the warmer did because the closer you get to the center of the earth the closer you get to hell so as I was digging I noticed one of my other ducks got out of the pen and was watching me dig this hole and there was like this unspoken I know what you're doing you're burying my friend in his eyes and I just could not keep doing it in front of him it's the next day yeah I didn't finish the hole I didn't get out of bed yet I burned my finger yesterday ah so I'm obviously on bed rest but I think given that it's 3 o'clock I am ready to go down and face the hole so I come down here in the morning look out the window and the duck is gone I repeat the duck is gone like I am looking at the spot where it was there's the spot there's no duck there and I've called my dad he won't pick up so I had to text him I'm texting everybody like hey you guys know what happened to the dog and I don't like texting it because let me just tell you autocorrect is not friendly to the word duck there's the spot where the duck was you see the duck I don't what's cool why so I took definitely some time but I found my duck some other animal dragged him under our shed so I have to fish him out and then it is finally time to lay him to rest I'm finally gonna bury it I'm gonna go change into something a little bit more respectable then we're gonna have a funeral because he deserves a fancy stinking funeral [Music] I know it did be Cyrus Barnabas you may notice that I'm not crying right now that doesn't mean I don't love you but life has been pretty good lately I have forty-four thousand subscribers so it's gonna take a lot more than your death to get me down but I love you to show that I actually do love you and care about you I present you with this montage of our memories together your role played by your brother Maximus congratulations - is it a boy or a girl Barnabas what you doing here did you have a bad dream it's okay we can sing dr. pray tell where is my beloved Barnabas and why hasn't he come to visit me in this my final hour to attach the chest pieces to the bodice piece I sewed through all the layers yes I sewed through the craft foam because I am a straight up gee I wouldn't want to make pants out of this stuff because there's like really no stretch to it and I like mobility so I'm gonna use leggings and cover most of the leggings with this fabric mostly around I don't know what to do with this it's a little complicated and frustrating but I'm so thankful that I'm making this because Merida no sorry not Mirta because I've always wanted to make a mermaid costume but she's like a mermaid who can walk like that's literally as good as it gets so after I cut out the leg sleeve is that a real term I don't know let's coin that phrase like sleeve I cut little scaly design knotch things out of the sides just to make it look purposeful then I trace those notches onto the edges of the other leg sleeve I also cut notches out of the knees so that I could more easily run away from evil critters I pinned the leg sleeves to the leggings while wearing them since this wasn't a stretchy fabric I had to get hecka creative to make it fit properly which entailed adding some pleats to the top sides of the thighs here's a shot of me removing the pants sorry I'm just lying to you it's actually a shot of me gluing what I pinned in place not going to lie to you this was a tad tedious and we are using a sort of different colored stretchy fabric for the back because police know Burma Kara will take it from here I'm saying some such nonsense along the lines of we need stretchy fabrics so we're able to breathe and it doesn't matter that it's a slightly different color because it'll be in the back and I don't care what the back of what I'm wearing looks like because I don't have to see it next I drew out some little strappy things so that they could connect the front to the back and also so that I would have something to attach my sleep to and then I tried it on to make sure it hit in the right direction and then I sewed it on then to attach the front to the back I tried it on inside-out and pinned it exactly where it needed to fit there comes a time in every project when you realize you didn't think something all the way through and in this case I don't know if you've ever heard but either rats or snakes or both can collapse their skull to fit into small spaces so when I'm trying to do something like that I just harness the power of the snake or breath then I sewed it together now it is time to sew shut the bottom of our remember when you are a baby and you freshly had your diaper change and your mom snapped your onesie and sometimes she'd snap a little bit of your skin in it and it hurt really bad no you're lying you don't remember that because we don't remember things from before we were like - it was time to have the zipper and I was very nervous she doesn't need words of encouragement for me be sure to use a 16 to 18 inch zipper and don't pay much attention to what color it is because remember you won't see the back only other people will when I cut out the sleeves I made them too small not because I'm an ignoramus but because I wanted to add a panel of stretchy fabric to the middle of them because sometimes you have to move your arms to fight off evil critters to make the gold pieces there are a few items I needed to procure from my arsenal I traced a spoon to get the bottom of the a perfectly round I freed it at the rest and spread my wax paper with cooking oil next plug in your 3d printer I basically traced that a and then for Nike swoosh type things for the arms if you think I'm using a tripod right now you're wrong you're being held between my two knees I sprayed my glue creations gold and then used some very cheap fabric paint to add details my suit after outlining the seams I sporadically splattered my suit with little gold honeycomb formations PS I decided not to attach the leggings to the bodice it's a lot easier to just put them on separately to attach my hot glue creations i hot glued them to myself some of you may find that redundant in the picture we have available to us it is not clear what her feet look like so I'm just gonna cover some old boots with that green fabric each of our boots were lovingly constructed by tracing the two sides onto fabric cutting it out and gluing it to the boot before I stick the inside pieces of fabric on I spray-painted the zippers gold but oh my gosh I love them I will literally wear these everywhere it's just a shade too light to be Mara luckily a few years ago after Halloween I think I bought a couple clearance hair colors brace beans beans oh here we are hi I'm The Little Mermaid I mean I have hydro Kinesis which means I control water think there's no water around think again see that that's hydroponic condensated water [Music]
