12 Cosplays of Christmas - 2 Lively Heroes/Heroines (Princess Bubblegum/Prince Gumball)

Day 2! ^^ Today, bring out your sweet teeth and your more regal side because the character of the day is Princess Bubblegum/Prince Gumball of 'Adventure Time.'

Here's the candy co-star of the show, Princess Bubblegum. She'll be the focus of the recipe.

Here's her male counterpart, Prince Gumball. We'll use him too. ^^

Here's what's needed for Princess Bubblegum (PB):

• A long pink dress
• Purple ribbon (found at any fabric or craft store, i.e. Walmart, Michael's, JoAnn Fabrics, etc.)
• A purple belt
• A long pink wig or some pink hairspray (found online)
• Red and white face paint (found online currently)
• Paper plates
• Yellow poster board *for the crown*
• Light blue aquarium stones (found at Petsmart, Petco, the pet section of Walmart or any pet store)
• Hot or Super Glue

For Prince Gumball (PG):

• A purple turtleneck shirt
• A larger pink shirt with puffy sleeves
• Dark red ribbon
• A short pink wig
• Purple fabric marker
• Dark pink pants (can be bought from Old Navy or any other clothing store)

Here's how to make both:

1. For PB, take a strip of purple ribbon and align it with the collar of the dress. Pin the ribbon to the collar and either sew it through a sewing machine or by hand.
2. For PG, cover the cuffs of the turtleneck with the dark red ribbon and do the same thing as above.
3. For those who're doing the spray, put on a work shirt and have a friend or parent spray your hair pink. When it's dry, brush it. If you're doing PG, curl your bangs upward when you brush your hair. TIP: To give it a more gummy look, curl your hair first and then spray it.
4. Now for the makeup! Squeeze some red and white face paint onto a paper plate and stir them together with the tip of a foundation brush handle until it's a bright pink color. Either take the foundation brush or a cosmetic sponge, brush it in, wash it off and let the paint on your face dry.
5. Time to make the crown! Take some yellow posterboard and cut out the crown shapes. Make sure that they fit your head and can't slip off. Glue on the stones and leave them to dry. If you're going as PG, glue some stones onto the posterboard, cut around them and glue them to the pink shirt.
6. Now, time to get dressed~ For PB, put on the dress and grab a purple chunky belt. For PG, put on the turtleneck, followed by the pants and the other shirt. Have a friend or parent draw the under-sleeves with a purple fabric marker and you're done!

Now you're ready to rule the candy canes and Reese's that arrive in your stocking! Hope you enjoyed~ <3
