we could make like 5 of 'em and customize them to beat the tons of dealers who sell em
they are made of like foam crap folded over... super cheap, easy and doesn't fray
can put tuffs of fur on them, make them coloured, put a plaid pattern, idk, anything and we'd sell..
plus, the tons of people selling them are dealers so we wouldnt have much competition when it comes to the people who see the arts and crafts before going to the dealers room

just an idea

Yayyy for plaid idea! Or we could just use any cool fabric in general.

For the buttons on the ears, we can make fabric-covered buttons. You can buy all the stuff to do it at fabricland and it's pretty cheap. I know Margot's original fashion show theme was fabric-covered buttons so she probably knows how to make them and can teach the people making the ears?

What say you mah-aggo?

Here's the how-to for covering buttons:

At Midoco they're selling those sheets of foam for c50 each.
Seems pretty good to me.. at the con they were like $10+ and the blank headbands can be bought for like $1 so..

Is it a sale or is that just the standard selling price?

Oh wow that's awesome then.

Lol, though now that we've come up with the idea, I'm really partial to the ones with cool designs on them. That way we wouldn't have to worry about competing with the dealers room or anyone at all, ours would be totally unique~

Both. Some people want the ears because they're Chobits ears, some because they look cool. Also, fox ears.

If we make normal Chobbit ears we have to compete against the other 20 people selling them but if you wanna' be the one to make normal ones then that's cool.

But most people want them because of they're Chobits! Price-wise we'll beat the competition out of the water.

And realistically, we won't have that type of machine perfection that theirs do. Inevitably ours will look worse quality-wise. If we do the normal ones we won't have much of a leg up on these guys in the dealers' room, they're in there for a reason ^^;

Besides, we wouldn't be making that many anyways, would we? Because if we only end up making, say, five, then wouldn't it make a lot more sense to make ones that nobody else has and be original as opposed to making the same ones everyone else has only slightly worse quality and slightly better priced? No matter what the design, they're still chobit ears, just cooler.

Either way there is no point in arguing if Banana wants to make some she can choose how she does it, and the same goes for you? ^ ^;
Personally I will make some white and song coloured.

We need to figure out space wise how we're going to fit everything on our crafts table and if it won't all fit, what items will be out at what times.

I'm pretty sure everything will fit unless we're making metric fuckloads of things.

If not we could layer our stuff using something like a locker shelf only not nearly as tacky?

Also until the things are physically put together, we won't have a good idea of how the stuff will fit because we don't know how big our things are. But we'll know once people start the actual construction of their things.
