Jiki's Whip

21 September 2015

Second post of the day!
This time it's on how I made Jiki's weapon, his whip.

Watch me whip

Watch me nae nae

The first ship fighters are badass, aren't they? Don't mess with us yo.

I looked up for some tutorial online and on youtube, there are quite a number of good ones! But (being the cheap cosplayer I am haha) I came up with my own way hahaha..

Things we need:

  • Whip handle (some people used PVC pipe with the ring thingy to hold the strings, but I got my foam one from Daiso, it was actually nunchucks with its strings cut) $2
  • Cotton Strings $2
  • Chains of various thickness and density (alternatively you can layer your chain with various lengths over one another)
  • Insulation Tape (Or athletic tape, which works better, but it's expensive over here ((or I'm lazy to find *cough*)) so insulation tape works fine hahaha) $1.50
First up, prepare your handle.
Since the whole whip is basically black, I decided to wrap the handle with the black insulation tape as well.

Next, Prepare your chain! My chain was about 2m long in total. They were actually the various chains of my old necklaces hahaha.. The thinnest chain should be at the tip, and gradually thicker towards the handle.
Alternatively, you can layer the chains if you only have 1 type of chain by cutting 2m, 1,5m, 1m, 0,5m lengths and putting them together at the handle. Attach the chains to the handle. For me, I simply tied the rope from the nunchucks to the chain.  


Similar to the layering of the alternative chain, cut the cotton strings into various length, the longest length being slightly longer than the chain. Do many many layers, getting shorter and shorter to build a thick base and thin tip.
It should be something like this:


Arrange the cotton strings around the metal chain so that the chain is somewhat hidden. Wrap them all together with the insulation tape TIGHTLY.


 (optional: to keep the strings and the chain together, I used plumbing tape and wrapped the length to hold them together.)
After that, go crazy and wrap the whole bloody whip with the insulation tape at a constant angle perpendicularly to the whip so that the width of the tape covers the whip nicely throughout the whip. Sadly, it was a challenging task because I had one only a pair of arms and legs, not so very skilled to take picture while doing it. So, enjoy the end product instead ok hahaha

CAUTION. Please handle the whip with care and caution, do not hit anyone or anything with it. When in use, keep 3m radius from people and living things around you as it may cause damage and injuries. 
The whip actually works like a legit whip and it hURTS. It even makes a whip sound, I'm actually impressed. It would hurt more if you use athletic tape because its more flexible and stretchable than insulation tape, but since it is just a prop, don't. Hahahaha

Okies, I hope it somewhat helps if you are thinking of making a cheap as heck whip (the whip literally costed me SGD$5.50 hahaha) yeah! :>

See ya~
