First I have my Tub I think I got it from an artist hand in IKEA but That doesn't matter. I had a few holes in the lid so I covered them with tape so the liquid wouldn't leak. Then I filled it with water and poured my boi food Colouring in

I would say red nad white electrical tape will work best on this. First I eyeballed a measure ment for the long white line. I will put an image to copy the lines because it can't be bothered to count them (NOT LAZY IN A RUSH). For the triangle I just put some layers of red tape on my cutting mat and cut it into a triangle, peeled then stuck it on

Now this is harder. first I actually hot glue the lid of the tub onto so to stop more leaks THEN I cut a strip of green foam and hot glued it round the top and did the same on the bottom and glued these red food lid things on too. But then I run into my enemy, Leakage. If you have leakage problems find a way to fix or avoid it. I simply cannot fix it but I found out if you dont turn it upside down it doesnt leak. Anyways back to the tutorial I cut more strips and put them in a sort of + shape. Then I got an old glue stick lid and covered it in the same red tape i used earlier and hot glued it on

End and Tips

You are now done. You could paint the lids black to turn this into a splatoon 2 version. Also you may notice I have no straps yes i know i personally do not want to add one i have a tip for straps, last year I cosplayed as agent 3 and for the straps is used black duct tape stuck to each other. Thanks for reading Enjoy! :D
