How to make 3 LARP Outerwear Pieces made from Curtains!
Boy do I have some LARP DIY’s for you. These can be used for anyone’s costuming to add a little extra something, and recycle some material you thought had potential too! I recently replaced my curtains with prettier ones and thought it would be a shame to throw away these curtains so I turned them into some really cool DIY LARP and Ren Faire Outerwear pieces.
Specifically a side sash, a shoulder cape, and a tabard! I’m really very happy with how they turned out especially since aspects of these were a bit challenging.
Overall I think it turned out well and my skill with sewing has improved because of it. So don’t be afraid to try the harder of the three DIY’s, but in case challenging isn’t something you like, the side sash is a beginner friendly sewing project!
