Obi Board

From CosplayWiki

This is a sequel to my Kimono tutorial. An Obi Board is what goes over the Kimono, but under the Obi, to keep it flat and is one of many ties that prevents the Kimono from moving.

Materials

• Cheap plastic placemat from Walmart
• 1 yard of elastic
• 1 yard of fabric (any kind will do, since you won't see it anyways)
• 2 D-rings

Sewing

First, cut the cheap ugly placemat to size, then cut a peice of fabric 2x the board.

Sew the fabric on 2 sides, and turn it inside out. Make sure the board fits, and round the corners so it won't rip the fabric.

Put the d rings in a little extra fabric (or elastic), and sew it to the side that is already sewn shut (make sure the plastic isnt in it).

Put the board in it, and sew the elastic in it, on opposite side from the d rings. (It isn't that hard, just look at my pics.)

Voila! Wasn't that easy?
