12 Cosplays of Christmas - 6 Princes/Princesses-A-'Scaping (Ice King/Queen)

Day 6! ^^ Today, we'll go to the 'ice cold' shadows of the dark side because the character of the day is the villain and villainess of 'Adventure Time,' the Ice King and the Ice Queen!

Here's the Ice King from the show. 'Gunther!' >w<
Here's the Ice Queen! Many thanks to GangstaCakes for letting me use this!

Here's what's needed to create this 'cool' costume:
  • A long, plain blue gown (King)
  • A blue dress (Queen)
  • A white Santa beard (King), white temporary hairspray or a curly white wig (Queen)
  • Dark blue ribbon (Queen) 
  • Dark blue crop top (Queen)
  • Glue *both stick and Super or hot*
  • Blue and white face paint
  • Bright blue (King) and yellow posterboard
  • White eyeliner (Queen)
How to create it:
  1. Unlike the previous recipes in which it's outfit first, we'll start off with the beard for the King. Just make a larger, fluffier-looking version of a Santa beard. TIP: Use white faux fur for a better, more realistic effect.
  2. For the Queen's snowy curls, have a friend or parent curl your hair. Afterwards, let it cool and brush away. Then, have someone spray your hair with the white hairspray.
  3. For the Queen's gown, take some ribbon, lay it out like in the picture and sew it on. You can iron it on too, but for that, lay some iron-on tape and then the ribbon. Put on the crop top afterwards. For the King, just put on a plain nightgown and stuff a pillow or two on your back to make the hump.
  4. Now for the face! Apply some glue stick on your eyebrows and let it dry. This is excellent for drawing on the white brows!
  5. Take some blue and white face paints and mix them on a paper plate until you get a nice icy blue color. Then, with a foundation brush or sponge, paint your entire face. After the paint's dry, draw on your brows. Draw on some shaggy brows for the King, lightning bolt-like ones for the Queen.
  6. Onto the crown~ Do a crown with the yellow posterboard and using either hot glue or Super Glue, attach three red jewels; one large, two medium. For the Queen, do a smaller crown and a necklace using the posterboard and do the same thing.
  7. For the King's nose, snip out a very skinny triangle out of the blue posterboard, glue it on and leave it to dry. Once it's dry, put it on and you're done! TIP: For a better result, make the skinniness of the triangle match the sides of your regular nose.
For a Gunther, just take a penguin plush with you. Hope you enjoyed! ^w^ Just don't start capturing princesses... ^^;
