User blog:SamwiseFilmore/Legolas Costume

Last year one of my friends and I had some rather... ambitious plans for our haloween costumes (we had a LOTR party). We had wanted to be Legolas and Gimli. If you looked at us, you could tell who was who, but I will not provide a picture for obvious reasons. I was to be Legolas, and my friend, Gimli. Me, being a procrastinator, didn't do much on my costume until about a week beforehand. At that point, it was too much work to get anything done. My friend had wanted to do chainmaille stuff to go with Gimli, and I was going to do the whole package, ears, hair, and all. I ended up backing out at the last minute, and went as Doctor number six (Doctor Who), and my friend did end up as Gimli, though his chainmaille was not included.

This year, again, I plan to go as Legolas. After (and during) last year's fiasco, I built a pair of knives to go with my costume. Here are a few pictures:

COMING SOON

I also plan to make a bow. This website has all I need to know, except being unsure which type of bow to make, what kind(s) of wood to use, and other decorations, etc. I would like a few suggestions from you guys on what to do with this.

I would also welcome suggestions on any other aspect of the costume, as there are quite a number of parts that I am unsure of.

Thanks for reading!
