Feeling a bit bored in the office and remembered that someone on DA asked me how did I made this brush for my Amaterasu gijinka cosplay, so~ I'm gonna make another quick tutorial~! Woot woot~~
Things you need:
PVC pipe
(I forgot what's the daimeter of the pipe i used, I think it's about 45mm, I used about 1.5m long, I'm about 1.6m tall, do use pipe length propotinate to your own height.)
Hot Glue
UHU Glue
String
Wig (best if the fringe is uncut)
Spray paint
Colored hair spray
Bamboo hole cap.
(Don't think these are available in western countries... whatever works then.)
Step 1 :
Spray paint your pvc pipe!
I used mahogany for the base and a little gold (splatter) for weathering/shine/texture/whatever you call it.
Step 2 :
Take 2 of the bamboo hole caps and remove the rubber string thingy attached to it.
Cut off the tab.
After that, cut off the base of one of the cap and poke a hole through the other's base to thread the string in.
Spray paint the caps black before threading the string!!!
** Remember to prime the caps before spray painting, I didn't and the paint keep coming off.

Step 3 :
Slot the caps onto the pipe and glue them down.
Red = The one without the base
Blue = the one with the string
Step 4 :
Put a bit of glue (I used UHU and Hot glue) on the inner surface of the pipe and stuff the wig in.
** Before stuffing the wig in, make sure you center the wig.
As in make sure the length of the fringe and back are equal (uhh.. not sure if you guys can understand or not ._. Sorry)
Last step :
Spray the tip of the wig to the color you want.
I used Gatsby Black hair spray.
Hope this derpy tutorial helps. (>_<)
Do feel free to ask me questions if in doubt, I will answer them if I know how to.
Have fun!
