You should be able to make the flares with white and black paper and glue. Cut the white and black paper in strips as wide as the flares are supposed to be long. Maybe slightly wider. Roll the white on a thin wooden dowel rod (bamboo skewers work well). When you reach the end of the strip of paper glue the next strip to the end and continue rolling until it is as thick as you want it. Make the white core then the black layer then the white layer. Then cut some thinner strips to make the black bands and glue and roll them on. The outer band you want to glue completely down. You may want to make a solution half white glue and half water and dip the strips in it and then roll them on. Let dry for about a day. Trim ends if necessary. if they want to unroll you may have to use rubber bands or tie them shut with yarn but not so tightly that it makes them dimple.
Oh, no, I don't have problems with making the props, just the clothes (because I can't sew)! I already have an idea on how to make the flares, but thanks anyway.
Well, Solovei suggested moving her Emil-hairdo posts from the SSSS Art Gallery thread to here, and I agreed.
But going forward, all right.
Well, I
did point out that the moved post would go to the top of the thread, but nobody listened to me. >:/
Gwenno reposted, so I thought reposting would be fine. (I do hate split threads myself)
