Description Made this for the London MCM Expo of May this year. The box is cardboard covered in red tartan with lace, a chain with plastic charms on and is lined with red fabric. It also has a false bottom under which I kept my purse, phone, ticket, sewing kit etc.

The box is the right size to fit Amu's 3 eggs (I made the 4th but it doesn't quite fit!!) While I'm at it I shall thank for her flat egg submissions which I used for the eggs themselves.

The box was worn to the MCM Expo around my waist on a belt :3

You can see more pictures of the box at [link]

Hello this bag is beautiful!!! Can I know the measures (length and height) of every part? Because I will make Amu's cosplay on the 30 June. Thank you very much D

I've already answered this question for someone else.

I won't be giving out the measurements, since they are unique to me. If you are planning on making one of these, you should look at referance images, and use yourself as a guide as to how big to make it. I am quite a large person, and therefore the measurements of my bag would look incredibly out of place on a smaller person than myself.

JuneNekoOutcast [2012-05-07 01:26:36 +0000 UTC]

can you make a little tutorial on how to make this? I'm going to cosplay as amu hinamori for the otafest in about 11 days this year. It's my first time going to anything like this and I'm super exited and I want to make an awesome cosplay! So can you maybe make a tutorial on how to make it or tell me how through a message please?

Hey, you probably don't remember me, but about a year ago I messaged you on Cut Out and Keep asking if you wanted pictures of my box when I finished it. Unfortunately, back then my plans sort of fell through for my convention, but this year I'm DEFINITELY doing it! Now that I've found your dA account I will post pictures once I'm finished and tag you in the description or something.

Thank you so much! I didn't use all the same materials as you (Because the craft shops around here are so inadequate!!) But I'll probably post pictures of the cosplay, too, after I go to the con

I'm afraid it isn't up for sale (also, sorry for the late reply!) I made this to my own measurements, so it would be the wrong size for anyone else ^^'

I haven't been on in ages either >.< And that's cool :3 I was planning on going in October, but uhh a lot of drama happened so me and my friend are going in May, cosplaying D.Gray-man or just not in cosplay D

I don't think May is going to be possible for me, I have major hand-ins for university, and the hotels are pretty pricey this time around because of all the olympic stuff that's going on Hopefully I can grab a lift down with a friend, but even then I'll be too crazy busy to make a new cosplay

silverfox1408 [2010-10-24 05:05:04 +0000 UTC]

what are the dimensions of the box? Like Length Width and Hieght?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

squishy-doughnut In reply to silverfox1408 [2010-11-02 11:10:07 +0000 UTC]

I really don't know ^^' I've been asked this so much and the box is packed away since I don't cosplay amu frequently any more. But from guess work and the tape measure I have with me I would say its around 10inches(width) x 5inches(depth) x 7inches(height) or so, but if you are planning on making one, I would make it according to your own proportions (i.e hip size) otherwise it would look a little out of place on you (mine is large because i have very wide hips >__<)
