The final touches for my sheath were some hand made beads that hung from the leather lacing. I took a piece of wood and drilled several holes in them using the pillar drill. I then used a band saw to cut around the holes to make basic bead shapes. Finally I used a sanding wheel to get the desired worn look (be careful sanding small objects on the sanding wheel as it can lead to distressing fingers). To go with my coat and the general 'red' theme I used a sponge to paint the beads red. To distress them I lightly sanded the edges and applied wood stain to darken the beads and make them look dirty.
This is the final prop I think it turned out really well and I learned a lot of new techniques as I'd never made anything like this before.
Here I've started to sew in my fur lining/border. I'm afraid I don't know any technical terms for what I've done costume wise as this is my first time making any kind of sewn costume for a person.
This is the end result of the slightly larger fur piece. It's a fairly straight forward process and it looks professional and effective I'm starting to enjoy making costume more.
