I need a stick. Where do I get one?

About 35cm long, round, like a wand. Preferably brown. Any local shops without having to go to Spotlight?

I'm not in Auckland, but try a general hardware store for some dowel, it's round and it comes in a range of thicknesses and lengths, about 1m of 10mm (1cm) thickness cost me $5 from a bunnings down here in CHCH

This is where I cry because I'm a good hour or two from these places, and I'm still classed as Auckland.

Ike's Emporium in Orewa is amazing for material/lace/ribbon/buttons/etcetc.

And I get everything else online so not much help here, sorry ^^;
Local op shops are the best for random material hunting, old patterns, and cheap editable clothes.

He's cosplaying!

There's an Ikes in Orewa? Ooo, something close to me XD.
I normally use the Emporium across the road from the movies in wairau park (Soz, can't remember the name). Also, I try use Vagabonds for my prop equipment (Look them up in the phonebook if you want to find them) Strickly speeking, they are a model/gamers shop, but you can buy good quality stuff there for making props if you look.
Thoug i havent been cosplaying for long, so don't take my word for it sweatdrop

By Suixelo. 10/12/08, 05:01 pm

OREWA! Man. I didn't think anyone else would go to Ikes XDDD

By NZFlyingRock. 11/12/08, 02:56 am

I used the one in Browns Bay before, that was pretty good. They will sell you an entire chicken outfit! but i no longer go to the shore for school, so i have to start finding closer alternatives XD.

By 4EyedKing. 11/12/08, 10:10 am

Jeff's Emporium is pretty good for fabric/ribbon etc. Pretty good prices too, and it has a big range.
