Title: Cosplay Help, Buckles anyone?
Post by: Tinkeu on August 10, 2006, 09:38:23 am

Okay, I have a question? Does anyone have any clue as to where I can find buckles? like really SMALL buckles? Like a buckle that I can put something 9/16'' through? Running out of ideas now....^^;;; I've checked all the fabric stores around Salem and can't find anything... I need them for straps on a cloak... Here a pic.. http://www.ffsynthesis.net/ff7/characters/vincent.jpg

you could've gone to petsmart (or wherever) and bought a few small leather collars... and then cut them up or whatever you'd want

hehe, yeah, I thought about that too... but it was way too spendy for such a small part of the outfit, it would've costed about 35-40 dollars... I found some leather ribbon stuff and some buckles online for 59 cents each.... plus S&h of course... so I think I'm good.

or you could have asked VonDan I was gonna say check a leather supply store that carries shoe findings or horse tack.   Oregon Leather in Poertland or Eugene would have small buckles.   I have a box of such buckles under my work bench.  Maybe i'll add buckles to my Panel stuff on zippers and Gromets

Thanks for the offer, we bought the buckles last night though^^ The panel idea would probably be a good idea^_^ Arigato!
