I’ve got a couple of bits I want to do for a Halloween costume (the plan is spy family)
The bit I’m umming and aching over at the moment is the “hairpins?” That the female character has
I’d love to make these out of solid metal. For no reason other than I think it would be cool.
In terms of alternatives the costume would likely work without them. But also I could try and 3d print and electroplate or something similar.
But my preference would be to actually make a nice weighty solid piece of metal. Because I like the idea of it and I think it would feel cool.
So my question is, is this feasible/sensible/achievable/affordable
I’m not inducted in the metal workshop at the moment.
My thought is that this would be something to lathe, and then maybe solder on the ring at the end?
But I’m really not sure on the best way to go about it, or the best material to try and make it in if it is feasible. So if anyone has any advice, I’d appreciate it
