Ok, so this was a long time coming... but only because I am lazy. The work itself isnt hard its just... yeah... I was lazy.

Here is a basic tutorial of how I made my Organization 13 coat charms for my Axel cosplay. I used an idea that I got off of a cosplay.com forum, but for the life of me I can not find it anymore. If anyone knows which one I am referring to, please message me so I can give credit.

With that said... on with the show!

Step One:
This is a shot of all the items you will need to complete this project. They are 4 wooden thread spools, 5 feet of jewelry chain, 2 metal pendulums, 4 ball-hitch clasps, small metal jump rings, silver paint, a wood burning tool, and not shown... pliers.

Step Two:
Take your 4 wooden spools and with some rough sand paper, sand down the edges so they they are barely raised above the main surface of the spool. You still want a bit of a lip, but not as much as is already there. This actually takes very little effort and I had all four of mine sanded in less then half an hour. Once that is done, sketch out 4 even x's and slightly burn them into the wood with the wood burning tool. Make sure you have a deep enough groove so that it will show through the paint.

Step Three:
Take your 4 etched wooden spools and paint them with a silver paint and let them dry. Oh my god... so easy!

Step Four:
Take your jewelry chain and run it through the 4 etched, painted wooden spools and determine what length you need it to be. Make sure to put on the coat and hold it against your frame. Remember it will lay differently against the curve of your body then against a flat surface. Once the proper length is determined, cut the chain. Then take one jump ring and attach the chain to the doughnut shaped part of the clasp. Repeat this for the other side.

Step Five:
With a needle and thread, hand stitch the ball portion of the clasp onto the jacket. Do this for both sides.

Step Six:
First off, remove the dinky chain from your metal pendulums. Secondly, take the remaining jewelry chain and measure out the correct length for each tassel and cut. Once that is done, take the pliers and using the jump rings, attach the chain to the doughnut shape of the clasps, just as you did in step four. Do this for both pendulums.

Step Seven:
With a needle and thread, hand stitch the ball portion of the clasp directly above the other clasp. Do this for both sides.

TA DA! And you're done. See, pretty simple, however, the beauty of this set up is that because of the ball-hitch clasp... everything is removable!! This means that you can easily detach one side of the wooden spool chain then safely and easily get into your jacket. Or, if you want, you can take everything off and wear the jacket in normal society and not get looked at like a freak. *grins*

Hope this was helpful to all of you. Good luck and happy crafting!!
