This prop features:
✨ A bubble machine mounted on top
🌸 Flower petals made from bubble mailers
💡 Fairy lights inside for a magical glow
☂️ A collapsible umbrella base for easy storage and transport

🌸🫧 Meet my newest creation—a giant flower umbrella that blows bubbles!
I built this prop using an umbrella base, a bubble machine mounted on top, flower petals made from bubble mailers, and fairy lights inside so it glows beautifully. Best of all, it still folds up like a regular umbrella for easy storage!

if you could have only one prop what would you choose? for me it would be the original hero grail diary.

Been wanting to print one of these for a while. Fully 3D printed and finished Lord of the Rings Uruk Hai helmet. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

My friend's birthday is coming up in about two weeks, and I wanted to get her something meaningful. We used to play CODM together almost every day (and way too many nights) until around two years ago.

Her last go-to weapons were the USS 9 and snipers(Locus tundra outlaw). I was thinking of getting her a real-life replica of one of those guns (preferably a sniper) as a keepsake to remember those good old days.

Does anyone know of any reliable places where I could buy one? Thanks

I finally followed through with a project idea I had as a child. I am sure this idea was born from watching Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote when I was young.

It is a very simple project requiring the minimum of wooden dowels, red paint, and a clock insert. The wires and fuse were just a little something extra.

Not much of a prop builder, but was pretty pleased with the result overall. Wasnt able to get an image of it on stage, so a few angles from my living room will have to suffice!

I’m a burlesque performer who is a computer angel that came to earth to try to be human. My og head was an actual crt monitor. It looked cool and I was able to stabilize it by putting a bike helmet inside. Main issue was the weight limited my movement and hurt my neck like crazy. I had a friend 3d print me a much lighter shell and I moved the electronics etc to it. It’s not big enough to fit a helmet in so I stabilized it a little using couch foam. The last two time I performed with my new head I had issues with keeping it stable. Since it won’t fit a helmet I was going to try taking the chin strap from a bike helmet and putting it inside. (I want to avoid more foam because it’s already very hot in there). What would be the best way to attach a chinstrap to the plastic shell? I was thinking maybe screwing the straps into little wood blocks and then using some sort of glue to attach the wood to the shell? I don’t know much about binding plastic to different materials and what bonds would hold up under pressure.

Wanted to share a clean mounting mechanism I've been working on for costume emblems and signage.

This is a 10.5” x 8.5” Silver Age Superman chest emblem. It's built entirely by hand using layered genuine leather, hand-dyed for that old-world finish. To avoid using messy pins, snaps, or velcro that bunch up or ruin the suit fabric, I inlaid a 6-point N35 magnetic backing system directly into the leather layers. It gives a really heavy, secure snap pull that sits flush against a suit canvas or a steel display grid without breaking the silhouette. Let me know what you guys think!

It also spins and blows bubbles

these three props represent my three favorite film series

Magnoli props made this. It’s their new updated version, which is the proper size as the original made by Daniel Reeve. I aged the cover to be more SA. I‘m happy to share how I did if you also would like to age one you may have purchased like I did.

Is it possible to achieve this blade effect with the core being white with the color emitting from the edge like the photo? Maybe through an illusion?

I tried soldering using kamui's cosplay tutorial. the single leds were partly connected to the red wire and the rest to the black wire, i placed the taller one with the red and shorter one with black, then the rest kept connecting to the black ones. however when i tried to turn it on it did not work. I dont know whether it was because i connected 3 red wires and 3 black ones all together at the end (look in the vids) or if i did something wrong from the start. again im sorry if its vaguely explained, if you wish i can give more details.

also i have to add, there are two led sides, thats why i said 3 wires. its supposed to be a hammer

2 on the sides and one for the battery holder w the switch

I asked the best local prop master, he has no experience making dummy food products and suggested asking a food stylist. But i would still need to make the packaging, or should i ask the client to provide it and switch out the labels for the new products? I also thought about diping the diferent cheeses in epoxy maybe? Any tips or ideas from someone who has experience with dummy products?
