13 Cosplays of Halloween: Couples' Crypt - Sunflower/Zombie (Plants vs. Zombies)

Hey, guys! ^^ Bri here. It's time to break out the pumpkins, fake spiders and bowls of candy because it's time for 13 Cosplays of Halloween 2014! If you're new to this or just wanna refresh your memory, I'll explain it. ^^ Up until Halloween, I post new recipes not just for conventions in October. They can also be used for costume ideas while passing out treats for every little Draculaura and Red Bird that comes to your door.

To start off this year's 13 Cosplays event, let's head into the Couples' Crypt. ^^ Now let's grab our gloves, shovels and watering cans because today it's the Sunflower and the Zombies from 'Plants vs. Zombies!'

 
Here's a Giant Sunflower and a Zombie. ^^ The sunflower will be the focus on the first recipe.
 
Here's just a generic Zombie. ^^ He'll be the focus on the second recipe. Many thanks to the Plants vs. Zombies Wiki for letting me use this picture and the one far above!
 


Here's what you need for the Sunflower:
  • Green clothing
  • Brown or white headband
  • Felt in yellow and green
  • Black and brown fabric marker
How to assemble the Sunflower:
  1. Cut up some petal shapes (cloud shape if you wanna be faithful to the original design) with the yellow felt.
  2. Cut out the same petal shape out of the green felt for the leaves. For gloves, you can add a little thumb piece to four of them. Somebody or you can sew the four "leaves" together and you'll get two mittens.
  3. Glue the yellow petals to the headband. If you're using a white headband, use a brown fabric marker and leave it dry before gluing the petals onto it.
  4. While you're waiting, get dressed and if the leaf mittens are already done, put those on.
  5. If the glue's dry, put on the headband and you're done!
Now for the Zombie! Here's what you need for it:
  • Face paint in green, black and white
  • Fake teeth
  • Brown jacket and shoes
  • Old blue jeans
  • Gray or white shirt
  • Red tie
  • Bald cap

How to assemble it:
  1. Put on the bald cap and tuck in any stray hairs.
  2. Once the cap is snug, now for the paint! Mix some black, green and white face paint on a paper plate with a makeup brush and paint away! You should have this nice grayish-green color all over yourself.
  3. Now for the clothes! Cut them up so they can look tattered and old. If you want, cover the clothes in dirt and mud to make them look very dirty.
  4. Once the dirt's shaken off, time to get dressed. For the pants, slip on the cut bit after you put them on. Adjust the tie, slip on the fake teeth and you're done!
Now you're ready to defend the yard! Hope you enjoyed! ^^
Next recipe: Morrigan (Darkstalkers)!
