Description
I'm doing a Digimon cosplay group with Bad Wolf Productions, and I'm cosplaying Tai. My problem was I could NOT find a pair of goggles that looked anything like his to save my life. One guy made them as commissions, but they were way too much money.So I decided I had to make my own, and share a how-to. These are a PROP, and in no way are functional goggles.
Pictures of the costume to come!

My cosplay ^ Your tutorial really helped me! Though i couldnt find white waterbottles, i found two hard plastic coffee mugs and had my dad cut an inch off the top. I gurilla glued the elastic to the rim of the cups and it suprisingly worked! Lol!

I'd wager some plastic primer spray would work

2.5-3 inches across. Dunno about around. (I may have literally held them to my head to see if they were the right size...)

One more question. What size elastic? 1in, 3/4in etc.

it's up to you, really. I used one inch wide, but it might look better to you if it was smaller.

Would like having.
Just need blue elastic for perfect imitation. XD

the elastic holding the goggles is black, the headband is blue. They're separate parts, as seen in season 2 when he gives them to Daisuke.

Aw I see then. Would still buy a commission pair if selling.
π: 0 β©: 1
I do sell them for 20 plus shipping (usually a few bucks in the states, more to other countries).

Yay, then I can has goggles, out of curiosity though, would it be possible to make a second pair modified to be more like sunglasses? D:
π: 0 β©: 1
like sunglasses? You mean with the plastic side pieces to go over your ears instead of the strap? Hmm. A challenge. I shall have to see if it is possible. I think so...

Naw, just like the original but with darker vinyl for the seeing part. D:
π: 0 β©: 1
sorry it took so long to get back to you, I was checking on supplies for tinted goggles. Yes, I can make them P: Do you want them a true black, or just darker?
The regular pair would be 20, and the tinted pair 25, plus shipping.

Tinted pair, sungoggles (sunglasses+goggles) Would be a cool combo anyways. Might try to get both if possible and you have time. D:
π: 0 β©: 1
I do have the time now. :3 I will looking into shipping and let you known the shipping cost.
π: 0 β©: 1
To do both or just one pair? D:
π: 0 β©: 1
To do both lol And I'll combine shipping which looks to be about 5 dollars.
π: 0 β©: 1
So 60 dollars total for both? What color will the stuff around the lens be? Blue right or can that be custom colors too?
π: 0 β©: 1
what do you mean stuff around the lens? the headband Tai wears? I can make it if you want, but it's not a part of the goggles. He separates them in the first episode of the second season.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahh, ok but I meant like the goggle part, not the headband, sorry about that. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
the part that's white on Tai's goggles? yeah, that can be different colors. It will be painted tho, not the color of the plastic, is that ok?
π: 0 β©: 1
what color would you want, and on the tinted or untinted goggles?
π: 0 β©: 1
Untinted = blue or light blue (if yo ucan get light blue :C )
Tinted = Black or blue
Thanks
π: 0 β©: 1
I can get them any color you want since I'm painting them. Do you want the inside of the goggles the same color as well?
And would you like the tinted goggles black or blue? I can get a very dark blue if you want.
And you can send payment to my paypal account via the email paninscarlet@hotmail.com I will get started on them as soon as it goes through. Thanks!

1. Yes
2. Dark blue
3. Don't have paypal but since we live in the same country and use the same currency I hope snail mail is not a problem.

that's fine - just wrap the money order or cash up in a few sheets of lined paper so it's not visible. send me a private message and I'll give you my brother's address. He'll let me know when it arrives, and I can start as soon as finals are over next week. P:
