12 Cosplays of Christmas - 9 Buckets A-Clanking (Trolls)

Day 9! ^^ 3 more recipes! Today, it's the Trolls from 'Homestuck!'

Here they are! ^^ (L-R: Aradia, Tavros, Sollux, Karkat, Nepeta and Kanaya *top*, Terezi, Vriska, Equis, Gamzee, Eridan and Fefer *bottom*) Many thanks to WeirdNerd of deviantART for letting me use this!
 
Since there's so many of these characters, I decided to just focus on the uniform stuff needed. Here's what you need:
  • A black shirt (tank top for Equis, t-shirt for everybody else)
  • Bottoms of any color
  • Colored duct tape
  • Cardboard or posterboard
  • Scissors
  • Black headband (horseshoe style works better then regular stretchy bands)
  • Black and colored hairspray
  • Gray and black face paint
Assembling them is pretty easy, but here's the directions anyway:
  1. Let's start with the horns first. Cut out some cardboard or posterboard and cover the pieces with yellow, orange and red duct tape. Then tape them to the headband and set them aside for after you're done.
  2. Get dressed. Much like the horns and later the makeup, it depends on what Troll you wanna be.
  3. Now for the cosmetics! For the hair, spray some of the black hairspray on your hair (some purple if you're gonna be Eridan).
  4. For the makeup, apply some gray face paint on yourself. Mix some of that paint and a bit of black to make a darker shade of gray and apply that sparingly on your face.
  5. Grab any accessories for your Troll (glasses, tiaras, scarves, etc.) and now you're done! ^^
By the way, folks, I'll be gone early tomorrow, so I'll be posting #10 around midnight and #11 late the following night. Until then, I'm pulling double-duty and getting the rest done, so you guys won't be disappointed. Anyway, hope you've enjoyed!
