Oooo alright! I have plenty of air dry clay, and never thought of using that. Maybe clay and a bit of a base, maybe with cardboard and masking tape. And the thrift store is really good, because we have a few of them within an hour's radius and I could probably find a decent lump of red fabric or an old dress or something of the sort. My friend also made a The Hollow Knight costume for Halloween and used a wooden stake for the sword with some cardboard and whatnot, but I feel like the needle would definitely be better with more lightweight cardboard
