12 Cosplays of Christmas - 5 Lamp Dials (Conis)

Day 5! ^^ One question: What usually comes to mind when thinking about the more religious symbols of Christmas? Most people would think of the Three Wise Men, a manger, Mary and Joseph, Bethlehem or angels. Why would I bring this up? Because the character of today is an angel herself: Conis of 'One Piece!'

Here's a picture of her and her cloud fox, Su. ^^ Many thanks to the One Piece Wiki for letting me use this!
Here's a figure of her! ^^ Those braids do look freaky, don't they? >w<
 Here's how to make her costume:
  • A pink dress
  • Some black floral lace or patches or a black fabric marker
  • Bright blue or white belt
  • A long, straight, pale blond wig *Optional*
  • Hair gel or spray
  • Yellow bee antennae (from a bee costume)
  • Angel wings (from an angel costume)
  • Large Styrofoam balls
  • Alligator hair clips
  • Yellow and white craft paint
  • Pink fabric-strip flip-flops or sandals
  • Red fabric marker
Here's how to make it:
  1. Iron the lace onto the dress using some iron-on tape. Set the dress aside so it can cool. If you don't have any lace, use a black fabric marker and have a friend or parent draw the designs.
  2. Put on your wig cap and then your wig. Have a parent or friend braid the hair into pigtails and tie the ends. If your hair is already bleach or light blonde, you can do the same thing without needing to get a wig cap.
  3. Time for the attachments! Mix some yellow and white paint together and cut a Styrofoam ball in half. When the paint gets close to your hair color, start painting the halves and leave them to dry.
  4. When the painted balls are dry, take an alligator clip, apply some glue on the front, put one of the ball halves on top and leave it to dry. Do the same thing to a second clip.
  5. When the glue is dry, bring your pigtails to the front of your shoulders and put on the clips at the end of the tails. Return the tails to the back of you. Your hair's almost done!
  6. For the shoes, take any flip-flops with a pink fabric strap and make some stripes with a red fabric marker.
  7. Put on the dress, shoes, belt, bee antennae and angel wings and you're done!
For Su, just find a fox plush, gray or not. Now you're ready to play your harp~
