Ahsoka Tano's Lekku - How to make your own

[@alaskagreen4545]

After years of watching Star Wars, I'm finally getting into cosplaying this universe. I had done Padme but I regretted not being able to play a Jedi. Today, I am so happy! You help me a lot with Ahsoka, who is my favorite character. I was afraid to start the piece about his head, but now I am reassured. Thank you and I hope you continue to make beautiful outfits !

[@TammiLColesinGermany]

Hello! I am one of the buyers! I sent some questions. Thanks in advance for the help! 😊 Clarification for others: the video shows 2 mm EVA foam, but the instruction sheet says 5 mm. It definitely looks like 2 mm is the right choice!

[@nawaazsuleman]

Yup I used 3mm foam and it worked well

[@dewaynetodd9051]

Fabulous tutorial. Project went very well for my first time working with foam.

[@blackspace007]

This is pretty darn good. I was considering doing Cosplay. Never thought I'd be interested in such a thing, but here I am LOL

[@akade4374]

Wow, that was reallu great! Thank you for this amazing tutorial, it was easiest and the most understandable for me how to do it so far!

[@lilitcosplay]

Thank you! So happy to be helpful ✨️

[@akade4374]

@@lilitcosplay I've noticed that almost no one does cospley on future!Ahsoka, from that vision. That's a pity, cause she and her lekku look so amazing... Have you ever thought about that one, maybe somewhere in the future? 😅✨

[@lilitcosplay]

This is true! I never seen that. Maybe in the future I will make some other versions included this ✨️

[@sarak3933]

This is a wonderful tutorial! I built a lekku headpiece earlier this year using an older version of your pattern...now after watching this I'm tempted to build another! 🧡💙

[@lilitcosplay]

Thank you so much! I'm glad that you liked it🥰

[@sugarsugar7072]

This is a wonderful English Tutorial for being a first timer in English! I am tempted to build my own lekku headpiece

[@LoLoA89]

This is so awesome! I can’t wait to try it!

[@marvinmorais5370]

can we buy it already built and painted ? Love it is iconic

[@lilitcosplay]

Please, write me on my Instagram DMs ✨️

[@errxticjuls]

Your English is great!! Loved this tutorial I will definitely be using it!

[@lilitcosplay]

Thank you so much!!!

[@jennava]

Wonderful tutorial, thank you so much for making this!

🖤🖤✨️

[@patriciasoares8565]

I've bought the tutorial. I'll tell the results when my project is done. Just worried about the drawings on the Lekku... I'm terrible at free hand drawing! I suggest adding the drawing pattern for future projects.

[@lilitcosplay]

Thanks for the advice✨️

[@Larjh]

Great video tutorial, you explain everything very well, I watch every video of you, you speak English very well😍✨💛

[@lilitcosplay]

Waaaaw thank you!✨️✨️🙏🏻

[@64MrDanny]

Awesome job,,, LOOKS GREAT... 👍💯❗

[@lilitcosplay]

Thank youuuu✨️

[@Starlordnat]

Do you have any tutorials on how your made her headband at the end????

[@lilitcosplay]

I don't have it since it's a tiny piece 🙏🏻

[@tommasobalocchi2870]

Sempre bravissima!!!

[@lilitcosplay]

Grazieee!!!

[@teenjuwel]

I love the pattern, but would maybe go for a furniture foam instead of eva, worth the try!

[@sarahholger8890]

Awesome tutorial!!! 🎉 thank you so much 😊

[@lilitcosplay]

You are welcome❤️✨️

[@ValeHydrangaea]

This is so good!! :D

[@bruceivey8812]

Super cool subbed!

[@lilitcosplay]

Thank you!

[@kimpermae]

Can the size be adjusted for a child by using a smaller scale.. you printed yours at 100% would 50% make it half the size?

[@toritation]

Hey! Just one question. The instructions with the etsy pattern say, "Unless specified this pattern is for 5mm Eva Foam" but in this tutorial you are using 2mm. Which should I use?

[@lilitcosplay]

Hello! You should use 2mm eva foam for this :)

[@toritation]

@@lilitcosplay ah thank you so much! You're awesome!

[@lilitcosplay]

Thank youuu

[@kevinchile1]

Amazing!! Do you have shaak ti pattern?

[@legendarymediahouse]

Awesome! What did you use as a reference for the navy lines? Do you happen to have any suggestions so they're even? It's my first time trying something this complicated so I'm having a tough time haha! Thanks so much!

[@lilitcosplay]

Hello! I just draw them with a pencil following the reference :)

[@soggycereal1649]

Hello there! I’m using this tutorial for a different pattern, but I still have a few general questions… - Which acrylic paints did you use? - After painting, would you recommend a seal/sealant? Thank you!

[@lilitcosplay]

Hello! I recommend the Liquitex or Maimeri acrylics :) I usually don't use a seal after beacuse I like the matte surface of the paint

[@soggycereal1649]

@@lilitcosplayThank you!! Also, will Ahsoka S3-5 lekku be on your store any time soon? :)

[@simsalabims]

Hey 😍 I am just starting with cosplay and want to try the lekku because you make the most realistic one I’ve seen on yt and social media 😍 but two questions: do you use low or high density foam? Because you said in the video „high density“ and in the description you linked „low density“? And did you have a pattern too for the headband? Or can you make a tiny video for it? ❤️ Amazing video for a beginner just like me 😍

[@lilitcosplay]

Thank you very much! I'm so happy to be helpful! You can use low density, but high density is fine as well :) i have the pattern for the tiara on my Etsy shop with the Ahsoka armor pattern bundle :)

[@mylahbirdy6340]

Does anyone know the name of this song? Its so good, just the epic mashup of everything unified into one.

[@fishsouup]

Is the size of the headpiece meant for adults or can it fit a teenager’s head aswell? If not what size should I do?

[@GamingAshla0225]

The pattern is for head size 53-55 cm

[@spaceshiprepair]

Would you recommend the grey High Density or the black Low Density Foam?

[@lilitcosplay]

They are both very nice, it depends of what you have to build

[@spaceshiprepair]

@@lilitcosplay I want to bild the Ahsoka headpiece, just purchased your pattern a few days ago from etsy (it was really the best looking one!) :) Gonna war it for LARP, so I guess it has to withstand a good amount of movement 😅 i'm wondering if the low density foam moves more "natural" 😅

[@lilitcosplay]

Low density is definitely better :) Thanks for your purchase, I'm happy that you like the pattern!

[@spaceshiprepair]

@@lilitcosplay Perfect! Thank you very much for your help and have a nice weekend!

[@alanafarrell4496]

awesome template! are just the A and Y shapes going to have a slanted cut?

[@tiredmaggot]

Hello! I’ve been wanting to cosplay Ahsoka Tano for the longest time and I’ll definitely buy you pattern. Though I wanted to know if this pattern is for a certain head size?

[@lilitcosplay]

Hello! The pattern is one size (My head is 53cm size and the pattern works well)

[@tiredmaggot]

@@lilitcosplay ok thx!

[@FabulousAdventuresLV]

What does this headpiece look like on.

[@heedlessdiva2350]

How does the headpiece get secured to the head?

[@DaniNiffi]

Wow.😊How many mm Eva Foam did you use for the lekku?

[@vivianntano]

It should be 2mm

[@GEoDRAgoN3]

Hello There! I Really liked your video and I am ready to start and make my own Lekku! Can you please link me the patterns you used because I can't see the description? Your work is amazing by the way!!

[@soggycereal1649]

the patterns are linked! :) theyre on her etsy store!

[@lisacallan5462]

Do you have any pointers for making this for a nine year old? My daughter wants to go as Ahsoka for halloween so i am helping her cosplay it

[@karenpena640]

Hello! I have a Question, Did you cut twice every piece?

[@lilitcosplay]

Hello! Yes :)

[@ninaa.1071]

do you think I'd be able to modify this pattern for it to fit the style of her season 3-5 heahpiece? or is that very difficult? (you don't happen to plan on realesing that version maybe pleeasse? xD)

[@froginatophat1042]

How did you make the little headband?

[@lilitcosplay]

I used 2 layers of 2mm eva foam :)

[@PaoloFranceschini]

Fantastico tutorial. Se posso, una domanda: ho acquistato i template, ma, per allinearli? Devo ritagliare qualche parte, basta allineare i tratteggi leggeri che corrono lungo i lati lunghi e corti delle pagine o, semplicemente, guardo e aggiusto fino a far coincidere le linee delle varie parti che compongono il Lekku? Eventualmente esiste anche una versione del template non separata su fogli A4 (da stampare, ad esempio, con un plotter)? Grazie in anticipo

[@lilitcosplay]

Ciao! Grazie a te! Allora per allinearli ti conviene guardare ed aggiustare fino a far coincidere, io faccio così di solito. Le linee sono più che altro una guida ma meglio allineare le sagome così è più preciso :)

[@PaoloFranceschini]

@@lilitcosplay scusa se rompo ancora, ma sto facendo davvero fatica ad allinearli. Hai dovuto anche ruotare i fogli per far combaciare i tratti delle sagome?

[@lilitcosplay]

In che senso ruotare? Comunque prendi riferito dal video, li faccio vedere molto bene come li ho allineati

[@lilitcosplay]

Figurati, puoi fare tutte le domande che vuoi!

[@sarahzere1740]

Hey comment tu connais les mesures ? Comment tu sais quoi imprimer ?

[@silviarovea82]

Ciao! 😊 Usi il foam Eva ad alta o bassa densità?

[@lilitcosplay]

Ciao! Uso sempre quello ad alta densità :)

[@GiulioMasiero88]

Ciao Lilit! il flexbod è comparabile al Plastidip? sono compatibili con i colori acrilici?

[@lilitcosplay]

Ciao! Sono entrambi ottimi primer, flessibili ed entrambi compatibili con gli acrilici :) la differenza sostanziale è che il flexbond si da a pennello, quindi è piu facile e non è tossico, mentre il plasti dip è a bomboletta perciò bisogna utilizzarlo con condizioni favorevoli

[@GiulioMasiero88]

@@lilitcosplay quindi ai lekku posso dare uno o l'altro, dipingerli con le bombolette... e come finitura lucida/protettiva?

[@lilitcosplay]

Si esatto io per dare la base bianca ai lekku uso la bomboletta perché faccio prima (la marca che uso io è Rust Oleum). Di solito non utilizzo finiture perché mi piace l'effetto opaco degli acrilici e di per sé sono comunque impermeabili e non si rovinano, ma se vuoi puoi usare un protettivo trasparente spray per acrilici della Lukas o della Maimeri che sono buone marche

[@GiulioMasiero88]

@@lilitcosplay sarebbe comunque un acrilico trasparente lucido giusto?

[@lilitcosplay]

La composizione non so se sia uguale, comunque l'importante è che la finitura sia appositamente per acrilici

[@GiulioMasiero88]

ciao Lilit! Avrei una domanda da farti... sai dirmi perché carteggiando il foam (premetto che non sto usando il dremel) mi da l'effetto pelucchi o a "ondine", anche se riduco progressivamente la grana?

[@lilitcosplay]

Ciao! Perché la carta vetrata (data a mano) non è molto indicata per il foam che ha una consistenza gommosa, a differenza del legno che è molto più duro e facilmente levigabile. Io utilizzo la levigatrice se proprio devo, per superfici molto estese, ma i fogli di carta vetrata non potranno mai sostituire il dremel

[@GiulioMasiero88]

@@lilitcosplay ma tu con il dremel utilizzi le puntine tipo pietra levigante (quelle rosa per capirci) oppure anche i rulli di carta vetrata? perché quest'ultimi ho provato a usarli col trapano, ma con lo stesso risultato

[@lilitcosplay]

Utilizzo anche le punte con la carta vetrata, ma essendo la rotazione del dremel molto elevata non è come levigare a mano. Però si, anche con il dremel si ottiene un effetto molto ruvido come hai detto tu, infatti se uso la punta con la carta vetrata sto molto leggera e poi rifinisco con quella di pietra :)

[@lilitcosplay]

È anche vero che con il trapano non si riesce ad essere molto delicati, non so se utilizzi anche la prolunga piu piccola, ma quella aiuta molto per le vibrazioni e ti permette di essere più preciso

[@GiulioMasiero88]

@@lilitcosplay potrei provare con le pietre allora.... che sia anche il foam di m***a?!

[@sultubopercaso]

Utilissimo tutorial! Volevo chiederti un chiarimento se possibile, quanto flexbond viene usato più o meno? Perchè sul sito ho notato che ci sono solo flaconi da 250 ml o 1l, pensavo di prendere quello più piccolo ma non sono sicura basti :')

[@lilitcosplay]

Grazie!! Non è facile quantificarlo, conta che io utilizzo sempre la bottiglia da litro perché lo uso sempre xD Con quello da 250 ci fai parecchio comunque, se non lo sprechi e ogni volta che ne avanzi lo ributti nel flacone. Credo che nella descrizione dettagliata sul sito ci sia scritto forse la copertura in m quadrati per quantità, ma non ne sono certa 😬

[@ashoholic]

Is it just me or does the pattern and tutorial have different letters? I was confused putting it together while watching the tutorial :-)

[@lilitcosplay]

This is the pattern for The Clone Wars version, maybe have you purchased the Mandalorian version on my Etsy shop?

I honestly don't understand why they give you patterns if they aren't free.

[@blushorbloodstudios8282]

Because this is something they do professionally or as a freelance thing and maybe want to make just a little money for it.

It's just to help the people who bought the pattern and are trying to figure it out
