Also known as Cupquake, Tiffany is a Cal State Long Beach grad with a BFA in Illustration. Although this tutorial is one of her older ones, it\u2019s definitely an awesome choice. Make sure to follow her latest cosplay creations over at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihascupquake.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.ihascupquake.com\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1479866777557000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEe_45bhNw_vWSD-L3K5CK05gNaEQ\">iHasCupquake<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">First, get your materials together, which includes pastel elastic garters, scissors, key heart rings, studs, hose grips and a needle and thread.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">For this tutorial, she used three different colors of elastic to achieve a gradient effect. You could also opt for a single color design if you want!<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Measure the width of your thigh, and cut out the elastic to fit.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Grab your heart key ring, wrap elastic around either sides, and sew in place.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">After repeating that process for both straps, then you&#8217;ll want to attach the vertical elastic bands. Make sure to place your hose grips at the end of these straps.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Then, you&#8217;ll want to sew the straps together and make sure everything is in place.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">For added flair, try adding studs or spikes to your garter. Tiff used a series of silver studs to match her heart key ring, but you could also use spikes or a combination of spikes and studs together for an edge look.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div>The final product looks totally on point! We love the look, especially when paired with a matching lavender colored skirt and over the knee socks.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If you need more style ideas, get inspired by Japanese street fashion and the colorful fashionistas of Harajuku.
