How to guide:

Costume:

I bought a 4m length of cream coloured muslin. I cut two strips length ways, 1-2 inches wide, for the arm bandages. I then cut the remaining material in half and sewed the short ends together on one side, to make one long piece of material for the body wrap.

Rey’s staff:

I bought a 2m wooden pole, and attached different bottles, aluminum cans and plastic packaging to create the different shapes. Using papier-mâché and glue to create the structure. I then painted it using black, silver and bronze paint to create a metal effect. Lastly, I glued different types of muslin material for the handle.

Rey staff: making-of

The last Air Bender is one of my favourite Anime Cartoons, as it combines a good story line with humour and diverse charecters

Korra has the power to bend all four elements: Water, Earth, Air and Fire

I wore this Cosplay to MCM Comicon, on Saturday
