I’m warning to make hooves shoes for a cosplay but I can’t use resin or those giant toed shoes, any alternatives?

So I’m wanting to make hoof shoes for a cosplay, but I can’t use resin and all the tutorials I’ve watched use resin or giant toed shoes, and I can’t buy those, what alternatives can I use?

Can I paint the rhinestones on my dress so they are not colorful and shiny?

Hey all! I’m so sorry if I am in the wrong sub. But I am really needing some help about my dress. I absolutely love it except the rhinestones that are glued onto the dress. I considered pulling the rhinestones off but I’m afraid that it will make the dress look more see through. So I think my best option now is to paint the rhinestones white. What are your thoughts? What type of paint should I use so that it does not peel?

Gesso or just plain white acrylic paint to reuse canvas?

I want to reuse a painted canvas. It was painted with acrylic. The colors are mainly blue to dark blue. To reuse the canvas and blank it out, should I use gesso or will a white acrylic do? If gesso is best, is there a specific gesso to use with acrylics? TY!

Should I seal the frame?

Pressed flowers in a double glass frame. They'll be hung in the bathroom, which doesn't have a fan so it gets fairly humid and wet walls after showers. If I were to seal around the frame, would it keep any humidity/condensation out? Or would I be trapping moisture in there?

How would you evenly mark spacing on a taper candle to paint a pattern on? Think like a polka dot pattern. The shape is really throwing me. The points need to be in a straight line vertically which is hard enough but evenly spaced all round. Need to do it many times over.

I can't think of a stencil shape or other easy way to repeatedly mark out the spacings and I will have to do it many times over. Maybe cut out a diamond and mark the points and move it round? Thanks for any ideas.
