making natsumi onitsuka hairclip!! (tutorial)

 hello, today im uploading a step-by-step tutorial of how to make the natsumi onitsuka flower hairclip!! i did it some while ago but it might be helpful for someone🧋💖

natsumi onitsuka is a love live superstar character and their group, liella! she's a first year that enjoys making videos and lots of money, her speciality is making drinks

i used this picture as a reference to make it, so let's go!

materials: a big hairclip, white eva foam, paper, silicone glue, paper.

1. take the sizes of everything

the first thing we gotta do is to measure all the things we are going to use

my hairclip was 7cm long and 2cm wide and with that in mind we can start making everything 

2. make sketches

after we have all our measures taken, i did a flower on paper that was 8cm long and 4cm wide that is going to be the base of our flower, so it doesn't have to be pretty nor perfect

3. trace on the eva foam

with the draft flower we made we are gonna trace the shape on the eva foam, i cut an square that was bigger than the flower and traced it over with pencil

4. cut the eva foam

this step is easy (unless you have trouble cutting stuff like me lol) this is the first step that has to be perfect in order to come out good 

it doesn't matter if the pencil you used to trace is visible, it won't be later

5. cut some pink paper (optional)

i found a pink paper that was the same color as natsumis so in order to cover the part that has pencil mark, i traced the flower over the paper and cut it. then i glued it to the flower

6. glue everything 

once we have our flower done, grab your hairclip, open it so glue doesn't get into the part that sticks to the hair, grab your best glue (i used silicon glue) and glue the flower onto the hairclip 

and done!! this is how it came out for me

it is kinda big in comparison to hers since the hairclip I used is really big, i was thinking of doing it again on a smaller hairclip so it looks more like the anime. if you want a hairclip similar to the seiyuu, grab a small hairclip and do all the steps.

and you can see i have trouble cutting things lol but I'm pretty sure yours will come better!! hope this was helpful for your looks/cosplays :)

this is all until now, see you~🌸
