12 Cosplays of Christmas - 3 Golden Bells (Dejiko)

Day 3! ^^ Today, time to bring out your scratching posts and plush mice because today's character is Dejiko from 'Di Gi Charat!'



Here she is! ^^

What you need:

• A white beanie
• White and pink felt
• Large foam balls
• Green, yellow and black craft paint
• A plain white sock
• Plush stuffing
• A white apron
• A blue dress
• White faux fur
• White furry legwarmers (if needed)
• Blue ribbon
• Newspaper

How to assemble it:

1. Begin by gluing the white and pink felt together and cutting out large triangles. These will be the ears on the hat.
2. Fold the ears into a cone shape, flip the beanie inside out and pin them down. Have somebody run it through a sewing machine and set aside.
3. Lay down some newspaper on the ground or table. Take one of the foam balls, cut it in half and paint the halves green with a black line coming down the middle. They have to look like cat eyes!
4. Take three more balls and paint them yellow with black. They need to look like bells! Let them dry for a bit with occasional turns to make sure the paper doesn't stick.
5. Put some newspaper inside the beanie and glue on two of the bells and the eyes. Let the glue dry and remove the paper.
6. For the gloves, trace your hand on the leathery side of the fur and cut it out. This may require two sheets, so do the same with the other side of your hand. Have someone sew them together threw a sewing machine.
7. Now for the boots! If you have legwarmers, simply sew an additional piece of fur onto them so it'll go over your shoes. If not, just make some out of a few more sheets of it.
8. For the tail, take the sock and fill it with the plush stuffing. Leave it until the costume is done.
9. Now to get everything ready! After getting the dress and apron on, have somebody safety pin the tail onto the dress and tie a ribbon on it. Grab the gloves, boots and beanie.
10. For the collar, simply take some ribbon, tie it around your neck (not to the point of strangulation!) and glue on the last bell. Wait until the glue dries and now you're done!
