Stargirl's Cosmic Staff Tutorial: Part 1

So at the end of this year, I will be cosplaying in a DC Bombshells group as Stargirl and I thought I'd upload the ins and outs of how I made her Cosmic Staff


So as a whole, the way I chose to create it isn't that difficult...which is why I like it :P


First of all I headed down to my local hardware store (for those Aussies, I went to Bunnings) and grabbed some 25mm (1inch) diameter PVC pipe, along with these joining pipes.



The first three are for the main part of the staff, the next four are to create the bendy part (this is technical language here people :P ) , the bottom left is for the bottom of the staff to protect it from being damaged, and the bottom right is for the top to attach the triangle bit.


Next step, I laid out the 45 degree joins to figure out the size I wanted then measured up all my pipe to be in between them. The sizing is purely up to you.


To cut the pipe I just used my fake Dremel :P
Cuts through pipe really well but don't force it or you may break the cutting tool like I did once.



After cutting all the pieces, I put the staff together to see how it looks and voila! Here it is :)


Since taking this pic I glued all the pieces together and it has been painted...but that will all be in Part 2 of this tutorial :)
