I feel curtain things like a kandi gas mask would be something I wouldn't just give out to everyone. When it's really hard to make and that person learned to make it themselves (I know only two people who have figured out how to make it on their own) it's a good idea to keep it a secret and let people figure it out on their own. IDK why it just makes A LOT of sense to me :/

People keep it secret because it promotes other people to actually use their head to try and figure something out for their own for once. There was a time when there wasnt internet and things like Bikini tops were rare and amazing and people had to teach themselves how to make them and they had to do it off memory or off a picture they have. I 100% agree with people not sharing how to make them, plus some people make the money they need to buy beads by selling gas masks. Dont get butt hurt over it, and by calling it un plur just shows how ignorant people really are.

I use elastic cord for my cuffs and masks to make them flexible and to make sure they don't break. I use Bead N Stretch and Stretch Magic for singles, x-based cuffs, and necklaces ^.^ I also use fishing line for peyotes and sometimes singles. I'm not very picky.

lol i dont share my way cause im the original creator of gas masks. there wasnt a tut for me, no patterns, no help. just me being creative and making it happen. its been a signature of mine for many years. when my find and a few others posted surgicals, they exploded. now everyone makes em and they arent as cool/special anymore. its like everyone wants to b handed things these days without putting any effort into it to lol. im no "god" though ppl have called me that just cause all the diff things i do. i dont share cause its just a personal thing to me, not cause it makes me better than anyone else most copies i have seen are surgicals with closed cuffs on the sides. id say start there and add ur own flair to it ^.^ p.s. people who go around saying things are "unplur" dont know what their doing lol. plur ppl would repesect others decisions and go about their lives, not throw "unplur" around like its gonna guilt someone lol

To clarify, I wasn't talking about gas masks in that comment. I was just talking about tutorials in general. When you're good at something or when it comes (relatively) easy to you, it can be hard to understand that it's incredibly difficult for other people. I suspect that's what's happening with HaloDiablo. I've been in the same situation with coding. I didn't realize how much easier it was for me until I tried to teach someone. I started to elaborate on what I mean by incredibly difficult, but I think I've said too much already. What it comes down to is that if we want to have a large, thriving kandi making community, we need to have tutorials. Most people won't spend weeks or months teaching themselves how to make a cuff. And no, we're not better off without those people Ok, we're better off without some of them, but I don't want to give up the good ones, lol.

Yeah, I hate when people demand tutorials for everything, especially when there are already tutorials for the type of kandi they want to make (mask, cuff, flat peyote charm etc) and they want a separate tutorial for a specific style or pattern.

For the princess one get a cute princess like, white short dress, then cut some slits on some part and splatter parts with blood. You can also wear long white gloves with blood on those too and maybe some matching flats, shoes, or heals, with black leggings, and to add kandi to it, you can add a kandi gas mask of a zombies mouth, and if you want you can make a kandi crown or you can use a real crown c:

Panels aren't too hard to make. I just finished a Majora's mask panel that will be part of a purse soon. There are tutorials on YouTube that could benefit you.

Try watching GingerCandE's tutorial on Youtube. She shows you how to tie it off and how to add straps. She helped me make my very first mask.

Why don't you try a mask, or maybe a skirt or a top?

Oh yeah and I noticed if you go to the above tabs and look in the drop-down menu for "Kandi Tutorials", there's a specific one for kandi masks that you can use that has resources/guides/tutorials/ by four different people.
