Thread: coin top patterns

I am looking to make a coin top as a beginner project (too ambitious? :P )

The costume is going to double as a bellydance costume, and a costume for Dragoncon. If anyone has seen Angel, it's the Princess Cordelia outfit with the blue harem pants. Absolutely lovely.

I am trying to find good resources for how to make a coin top bra. I found this so far: Turbans, Tassels and Tattoos! - American Tribal Style Belly Dance in Australia

Does anyone know any other resources? Patterns, where to get the coins, strings, etc?

I would appreciate any other help you could give me!

edit: This is a *basic* pic of what the costume is: Xander and Cordelia action figures - Another Toy Review by Michael Crawford, Captain Toy

there is a Folkwear's pattern which was designed with the help of FCBD. You might want to check that out!

PS: Cordy's costume was actually a Cost Less mirror srt. Here is a link to a knock off on E-bay:

BELLY DANCE BRASS MIRROR COSTUME SIZE 34-36 - eBay (item 110331662161 end time Jan-28-09 10:03:18 PST)

This one is in brass. You can get it in nickle. It does need to be mounted onto a bra and belt base.

have fun!
