Hmm. The places you can usually find metal fastenings like that are either fabric or yarn stores, or any place that sells buttons. All my sympathies though, it's so annoying when all the places you check don't have anything suitable for what you want to make. I've had this problem several times when making cosplays here in Iceland, there just isn't enough variety and certain materials don't exist here at all.
yeah, I could not find any good one at all, I checked few, they all has same, but not even looking how it would be the best.
then I googles hoping maybe online I can find one, I found kinda one online how it was a handcraft one, which is suuuper expensive just to buy one.... so I decided to do something with yarns, braiding it or something.
I am also trying to find cheap stuffs
tomorrow hopefully me and my friend can continue our emil and Sigrun uniforms, tomorrow maybe I would post some photos.
