12 Cosplays of Christmas - 10 Moles-A-Digging (Miss Merry Christmas)

Day 10! ^^ Two more left! Today, we're gonna be underground because the character of the day is Miss Merry Christmas of 'One Piece.'
Before we move forward, you're probably wondering, "What does 'underground' and 'moles' have to do with Christmas?" Well, if you've read the Alabasta Arc of 'One Piece,' Miss Merry Christmas reveals to Usopp and Chopper that she ate a Devil Fruit that makes her turn into a mole. Okay, now that that's out of the way, let's continue~

Here's a picture of her. Fat like Santa, but not really as jolly... ^^;

A figure of her! Many thanks to MyAnimeShelf for letting me use this!

Here's what's needed to create this festive costume:

• A long-sleeved white shirt
• A wide plain green tie (Just ask Dad first if he wears it anymore!)
• Purple or blue capris or jeans
• Any color of sandals
• Felt in red and bright green
• Green headband
• Red hairspray or a short red curly wig
• Black fabric marker

How to make it:

1. Take some scissors, make several dots out of red felt and sew them onto the tie.
2. Using the same scissors, fold the tie hot dog-style (down-the-middle in half) and cut the tie until it looks like a Christmas tree. TIP: Make sure to mark the cutting areas first before you start modifying the tie.
3. Like you did with the red dots, cut several triangles out of the green felt. The green triangles are going to be used for the flowers on her pants.
4. Mark where you want the flowers are going to go with the same black marker. Look at the manga or use Google Images for reference and best results.
5. Once you're done with marking, gather the triangles into groups of seven. Arrange one group into a flower and sew it to the pants. Continue this until the pants are covered. Just be sure to take a break in-between sewings... ^^;
6. Time for the hair! If you already have short, curly hair, have a parent or friend spray your hair red. If you have a wig, you know what to do.
7. Get dressed, grab some shades, slip on some sandals and a green headband, apply some purple lipstick and you're done!

Now you're ready to PLAY BALL! ^^ Hope you enjoyed~ <3
