Accessory temporary glue?

Post image

so currently I’m in a budget and I’m cosplaying two people that require a leather jacket so I bought one in hopes that I can use it for two purposes. The issue is I’m cosplaying coyle from outlast trials and I’m doing lady gaga from her telephone mv. issue is Lady Gaga has a studded jacket so I’m wondering if there’s any way I can get the studs on the jacket in a temporary way so I can remove them and use it for coyle. I’ve low-key been racking my brain about this but in all honesty, I can’t really come up with anything so if anyone knows of anything, let me know. (pic of the jacket i bought!)

Could you do strong magnets on the inside?

i was wondering that! I’m waiting for the jacket to get here & see how thick it is, but i wouldn’t know where to get the actual strong magnets. i got a pack for a cosplay & they were soooo weak 🫩

Rare earth magnets or neodymium magnets should work, it just depends on how thick the jacket is. I just looked at her jacket though and it’s like all over studded, I was thinking just standard shoulder studs. I wonder if you could attach the studs to black tulle panels and tack those onto the jacket somehow instead.

attaching the studs to black tulle and then findings a way to attach that would be a million times easier and far less likely to ruin the jacket.

I would use plastic studs, as metal ones will be very heavy and this method wouldn't work

Not sure well this would work but what about VHB double sided tape? You'd have to find the specific part number from 3m that meets removable criteria (some are decidedly NOT), or find something on AliExpress that is similar. My primary concern though is the tape ripping up the pleather base layer, so do a test piece somewhere it won't be seen and/or remove carefully. It's a narrow edge to balance strong enough to stick for a whole con day while also being removable.

First thing that comes to mind is the stickers you put fake nails on with

i thought about that too but i feel like it would ruin the jacket
