DIY Japanese Straw Hat for

[@SammyWatsit]

2 videos in 1 month? hope your schedule stays like this! loving the hats, very cool design

[@TheBudgetJedi]

Nearly Legit Films Ha ha thanks actually I think are with my figures like this all the time but I save “bigger projects” for my KZbin channel that’s why you don’t see much of me on KZbin. Plus it takes a lot of time to edit project videos not that the finished results look all that professional LOL

[@thewrestlingchick-tamara]

That's what I was thinking 🤗

[@lokidaillest6781]

Genius, I actually used a popsicle stick for mines but used a hobby knife to shred the wood and make it more straw like. I then glued the shreds to give it a aged look. I also painted in a lighter brown and black washed it after. The black wash was very watered down I only wanted it to seep into the cracks. But that depends on how clean looking your figure design is. But this is ironic cause I used this very method of construction for my bruce lee figure.

[@TheBudgetJedi]

Loki Daillest woww very cool. Your method will make it look very authentic like a real straw hat!! Thanks for sharing

[@lokidaillest6781]

@@TheBudgetJedi no problem, as a 31 year old artist fron brooklyn i must say your a pillar to this community my friend. I have often Ben inspired by your work to keep on creating works of art. Great job as always and I look forward to future content.

[@richardthehutt4407]

It's great to see you active again. Hope that this will become a trend.

[@TheBudgetJedi]

thanks, I do a lot of tinkering with my figures all the time, but nobody sees it because I usually only save "bigger" display projects for my channel, but I might do more of these tinkering videos. But they are quite boring lol

[@danielball5261]

Awesome video. I'm no longer a 1:12/6'' fan. But this will be proper for my 1:6/12'' figures. Thanks for the share. I did one with metal. When it bends it sucks.

[@pabnmay]

Awesome job, one thing you might want to try is mixing black paint with modpodge to seal it better and make it more durable and then you can paint over it.

[@CMCustom112]

He's at it again. You could put the string through holes in the hat before you put the layers of tale are on so there is a mechanical and chemical connection and give a cleaner look.

[@TheBudgetJedi]

yes indeed ! I thought about that too but just got too lazy but that would make it next level awesome! thanks for the tip. and thanks for watching!

[@raymondz7152]

Super job! It's always fun to watch you work.

[@TheBudgetJedi]

Raymond Kadleck Thanks for the kind comments!

[@louisbaez5802]

This is really good. I enjoyed your video and this is eye candy for action figure collectors of ninjas or fighters. Thanks so much! Keep the ideas flowing!

[@TheBudgetJedi]

Louis Baez thanks! I tinker with my figures like this all the time and will be doing more for sure. Appreciate the comment!

[@blaineishere3851]

These are really cool!!! I’d love to see more mini accessory tutorials, honestly!

[@TheBudgetJedi]

Wow, really? I might do more then. if it can help someone out there, then definitely would be worth putting on the channel. Many thanks!

[@blaineishere3851]

TheBudgetJedi thank you as well! :)

[@stabbymctaco8963]

Amazing. Love the creativity

[@GALAXIE67]

Merry Christmas Buddy to you & your family!🎅🎄

[@rektangular]

Another great tutorial my friend!

[@TheBudgetJedi]

thanks man!

[@roninphotographer1846]

Hi I was watching you tip that was great. I also do a straw hat by follow you tip but a bit change something. Thanks for sharing a this good technique. I add this vdo link in my page to respect your credit. Thanks again have a nice day.

[@youngtexas210]

I use a slightly different process for mine. It's essentially the same, but I use the little starbucks/coffee cardboard holders because they have that corrugated texture that kind of look like straw once it's painted. This is awesome though, i think this should help me refine mine. Thanks!

[@TheBudgetJedi]

jmstwn That’s genius! Thanks for sharing that. And thanks for watching

[@finlaymckenzie2925]

For your jubei a suggest using red elastic string for his harness

[@freakyfred9405]

You are awsome, I hope you will make General Grievous diorama some day or any rots diorama in 3.75 scale 😁

[@TheBudgetJedi]

you are awesome too! Thanks hopefully I will

[@CaptainAlien]

Awesome, always love when you post!

[@TheBudgetJedi]

IICyrogenicII And I love friendly kind comments like these thanks a lot for watching

[@enderland18]

I know you don’t do requests as often, but have you ever considered challenge yourself with Felucia from the Star Wars prequels? I think you would rock it!

[@Zero-mn2qw]

Thank you I’ve been looking for a video like this

[@TheTrognation]

I've been planning on making a Shinobi Mace Windu originally inspired by Brian Snook's render using an Articulated Icons ninja. This is perfect!

[@TheBudgetJedi]

whoa that's a great idea! great job!

[@Enneke0]

Can you do a video on how to make that robe on Logan?? Loving it

[@undacova7929]

Keep up the great work !

[@Foxiepawstotti]

Thanks for this. I was wondering what to do about the hats for a diorama I am doing and you know what it's like if you over think something! I ended up with a total mental block...I am doing it in 1:6th but this could be used for any scale. I will have a look around your channel to see if there's anything else you do that I can use, in which case I will subscribe, and also to see if there's any tips I have that you could use. Thanks again

[@TheBudgetJedi]

thanks for watching, historically i actually am an avid diorama maker, but now that i am more into 1/12 figures and "dolls" with clothing I have been tinkering a lot of these types of mods more.

[@ZacShaq]

Awesome bro 👍 Also please do give links to the Action figures if possible 😊 Love your Videos 😎

[@TheBudgetJedi]

Thanks for watching, the first figure is Mezco One:12 Ronin Wolverine, and second is Articulated Icons. I don't have any links for them except maybe you can find them on Ebay. but in my previous ninja video I put up links to the articulated icons line in the description,let me know if that helps?

[@maddwoba]

Good stuff my friend

[@hobbymanproductions4553]

Looking Awesome

[@omario2069]

Thanks! exactly what i was Looking for :D

[@LaruanNiEman]

nice videos very resourceful

[@midnightsons4859]

I think that can also work with the straw mat you have

[@VulcanicsPlayGround]

great video bro!

[@emilflognoid1532]

Best channel on youtube

[@emilflognoid1532]

You know what might be cool… Use your same exact tech nique, but when you lay out your blue tape spray it with spray glue and glue some cheesecloth flat onto it... Might give it that weaved straw look

[@TheBudgetJedi]

emil flognoid now thats super smart! Thanks for the awesome idea!

[@midnightsons4859]

Btw you should also made a building with those bricks in the back

[@MikelRChannel]

Nice, did you make the Samurai Kimono dress?

[@finnflix8464]

hey budget jedi just a little request, you should do like a video showing off all your amazing star wars diorama kinda like a collection vid. life if you agree everyone

[@zulvihadi]

Very nice tutorial bro, i wanna ask about a blue tape. What type or what the name of tape when i search to the store?

[@LoganParam-03]

Painter tape I think it's called

[@quentinsmommy8509]

Awesome

[@danielball5261]

Krazy glue is better. Super comes apart a bit. Or if heat catch the glued spot too much.

[@GALAXIE67]

Cool 👍☯️👍

[@scoobydoo7827]

you should make another batman arkham asylum diorama with killer croc then a one for mr freeze

[@sarahsmilesne]

Good Idea I've always wanted another batman arkham diorama since he can make anything because he is so talented

[@alejandrocanto7206]

Cool videos, but i need help of You experience, how i put battle damage (burns and rips) efects to My custom capes yo My Marvel Legends. Please iluminate me.

[@jpfinitymateo5794]

Thank you for this

[@CMCustom112]

Is that supposed to be Jeubei from Ninja Scroll?

[@TheBudgetJedi]

Yeah kinda! thanks for noticing. I am looking for a cloth shirt to replace that one but haven't found one yet. so this will do for now.

[@nauticalshipsandothernerdy3036]
