Props

Costume props and accessories

Props and accessories—hats, weapons, wands, bags and jewellery—are what make a costume instantly recognisable. They are also the easiest pieces to reuse across different looks.

Choosing props

Pick the one prop your character is known for and make it a good one.
Check weight and size: you will be carrying it for hours.
Follow venue rules; many events ban realistic replica weapons and some limit prop length.
Soft foam props are safer for crowded parties and for children.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring costume weapons to a party or convention?

It depends on the venue. Many conventions ban realistic replicas or require a peace-bond check, so read the event rules before you go.

Which accessories give the most value?

Hats, wigs and bags. They transform an outfit and can be reused for many different costumes.
