Naruto cosplay! Gama-chan the frog! Plus a training scroll!

Hi guys! Back again, so continuing with my Naruto cosplay this week I'll be making Gama-chan the frog and a scroll! Allons-y!

Gama- chan.

In the series, Gama chan is Naruto's frog purse which is "borrowed" by Jiraiya in multiple episodes.
So what do ya need?
Green fabric (I'm using light blue as I misplaced my green)
Red fabric  (for the lining)
black fabric (for the eyes)
Zip or velcro
Stuffing

First cut out the shapes. Then reversing the sides sew all the way around except for a gap leaving a space for turning it back out the right way.



Once you've turned it the correct way, sew up the gap.

Now for the eyes! Cut out two small black circles and sew one onto two of the eyelids.

Next sew the eyelids together to make a pocket and stuff with stuffing.

Now sew them to the head.

Next sew the leg pieces together. Sew opposite sides first, but when you reach the last toe turn it the correct way.


Use two of the legs for the 'paws' and legs for the bottom half.


 Once you've sewn all the legs on, it's time to add the clasp. For this you can use a button and loop (like I'm using), Velcro or a zip.


Once these are in place, it's time to sew it up the sides! Don't sew the entire way up (unless your using a zip!) because you want to be able to put money in!


All done!

Scroll.
Hi, this part is just a little extra that I thought I might as well do. In the world of Naruto, scrolls are widely used for summoning and sealing Justus.
Here what ya need:
Fabric, ribbon and largish bead
Kebab stick (the ones that are like larger cocktail sticks)
Pencil, scissors and ruler (if you are a young kid, please get an adult to help with scissors)

Most of these you can find around the house, but please ask before taking! (I learnt the hard way T^T) let's start!

Get your skewer and mark it so it's around half of its original size. Cut it on the mark. Put one half to the other side.


You can use any colour you want, I'm using black felt. Cut the felt a tiny bit shorter than the skewer. When your done, you want it to be the same size as the inside of a toilet roll tube.


Now bringing back the skewer, sew it firmly to the felt so it doesn't slip around. Now tightly roll the fabric around the skewer.


 Leave a bit at the end to make the puller.

Using the same technique as earlier, cut two other skewers in half. Bunch the five skewers together and bind them together. Then attach the ribbon and bead in the middle. Next sew the puller to the end of the felt.


Roll it up and your done! If you want, you can make a scroll cover, here's what you need:
Toilet roll  tube
Paper
Felt tips
Pencil, scissors and ruler
Glue/tape

First mark the paper the same width as the toilet tube, then draw a line across.
Then draw two more lines to make a middle section. Cut out the band from the bottom line. Mark where it fully wraps around the tube and cut it to the correct length. 
Next, colour in the outer two sections in a colour of your choice. In the world of Naruto, scrolls range  in a variety of different colours, I'm using purple.  
Next in the middle section, you can write anything you want. I'm writing 'summoning' in Japanese (I recommend if writing in Japanese write in pencil and then ink in).

 After that, glue or stick the band around the tube so there are no gaps. Finally, cut the tube so the puller will fit.


Done!

Stay tuned for the next part of my cosplay!
