13 Cosplays of Halloween 2015 - Jyabura (One Piece)

Day 8! ^^ Down to the final 5 recipes! Anyway, I have another recipe for my fellow fans of werewolves with Jyabura from "One Piece!"

Here he is! ^^

And here he is sleeping. ^^ Many thanks to the One Piece Wiki for letting me use both this and the above pic!

What you need to assemble him:
  • Purple rubber bands
  • Cat-eye sunglasses with purple lenses
  • Eye pencils and shadows in brown and black
  • A thin black coat
  • White ribbon
  • Black pants
  • A red sheet
  • Black flats
How to assemble him:
  1. Zip up the coat, measure out the ribbon and cut each strip. Pin them down and run it through the sewing machine.
  2. To make Jyabura's scar, look up pictures of him. Draw it over your left eye with the brown pencil and using the brown shadow, fill it in. Do the same thing for the facial hair and the black pencil and shadow.
  3. Get dressed. Twist the sheet, tie it around your waist and have somebody trim the tails to the desired length.
  4. Grab a chicken plush if you want and now you're done! 
Hope yooooou enjoyed! ^^

13 Cosplays of Halloween 2015 - Sunset Shimmer (MLP: Equestria Girls)

Day 5! ^^ Let's head into the library because the spotlight is on Sunset Shimmer from "MLP: Equestria Girls!"

Here she is! Many thanks to the Villains Wiki for letting me use this!
Here's what you need to assemble her:
  • A gold-yellow wig
  • Red colored hairspray
  • A black mini jacket
  • A Bedazzler
  • A purple shirt
  • An orange skirt
  • Black boots
  • Purple felt
  • A hot glue gun (Be careful!)
How to assemble her:
  1. Take the wig and spray the red hairspray from a distance. You may need to wear a smock or an old shirt so the hairspray can't stain your clothes.
  2. If the jacket doesn't have studs in it already, install some along the collar using the Bedazzler.
  3. Now for the boots! Warm up the hot glue gun and cut up some of the purple felt. Carefully drizzle the glue onto the fabric and place it over the boots. Once you're done, set the boots aside and leave them to both cool and dry.
  4. Get dressed. Check on the wig to see if the spray is dry. If so, put the wig on and gently brush it out.
  5. Grab your boots and now you're done!
Hope you enjoyed! ^^

13 Cosplays of Halloween 2015 - Miia (Monster Musume)

Day 4! ^^ Today, let's bring out some rats and frozen mice because it's Miia from "Monster Musume!"

Here she is! ^^ This will be the model for this recipe. Many thanks to the Monster Musume Wiki for letting me use this!

What you need to assemble her:
  • A long orange straight wig
  • A dress shirt
  • A belt
  • A skirt
  • Pink scales-print fabric
  • Light pink fabric
  • Pillow stuffing
  • Barrettes
  • Yellow craft foam
How to assemble her:
  1. Get dressed.
  2. Look up a snake pattern or a mullet skirt pattern online. For the mullet skirt, the back has to be crafted longer than normal to give the illusion of a snake tail.
  3. After you're done crafting the tail, sew the sides of the back together and make the smooth underside using the light pink fabric. Bring out the pillow stuffing and begin stuffing the tail.
  4. Cut up the foam into a few D shapes and open the barrettes. Glue on the foam and let the glue dry.
  5. Adjust the wig if you have one. You can also spray your hair orange if you have lighter hair.
  6. Check on the barrettes. If the glue's dry, clip them on, style your hair and now you're done!
Hope you enjoyed! ^^

13 Cosplays of Halloween 2015: Uniforms of the Undead - Organization XII robes (Kingdom Hearts)

Day 3! ^^ Prepare to polish your Keyblades, folks, because today, we'll make the robes of Organization XIII from "Kingdom Hearts!"

Here's one of them! ^^ Many thanks to the Kingdom Hearts Wiki for letting me use this!

Here's what you need to assemble it:
  • A long coat with a bare hood (Bare meaning no fur, no designs, nothing!)
  • Black pants
  • Black shoes
  • Black gloves
  • A silver necklace
  • Any wigs or makeup (if you plan to do a certain member)
How to assemble it:
  1. Get dressed, save for the coat.
  2. If you prefer to make the coat from scratch, grab a wizard or hooded costume pattern (Simplicity, Butterick, etc.) and follow it. If you prefer to make it quick, grab a long hooded coat.
  3. If you wanna be a specific member (i.e. Axel, Larxene, Xaldin, etc.), do some makeup, whether it be face paint or standard makeup.
  4. You may also need to get a wig or some colored hairspray for the hair. You know the drill on this one.
  5. Put on the wig, the coat and the necklace and now you're done.
 Hope you guys enjoyed! ^^

13 Cosplays of Halloween 2015 - Zakuro Fujiwara (Tokyo Mew Mew)

Day 2! ^^ Now for this year, I thought, "I've covered vampires and zombies in the previous years. So why don't I cover werewolves this year?" So to cater to my fans of the lycanthropes, I'll start off with Zakuro Fujiwara from "Tokyo Mew Mew!"

Here she is! ^^ Many thanks to CosplayHouse for letting me use this!

Here's what you need for her:
  • Gray faux fur
  • White lace
  • Purple ribbon
  • Velcro
  • Purple spandex or any stretchy material
  • Elastic
  • A purple tube top
  • Purple shorts
  • A purple garter belt
  • Purple wristbands
  • Purple thigh-high boots
How to assemble her:
  1. Measure out how much lace you'll need for the top. Afterwards, take some pins and pin the lace down. Have somebody either sew it on with a sewing machine or glue it on with hot glue. Careful if you're using hot glue for obvious reasons.
  2. For the ears and tail, look up a tutorial on how to make them. Or if you already have a tail and a pair of matching cat ears, you can use those instead.
  3. Now for the armbands! Take some of the spandex and cut it up. Place the lace first and the elastic next, pin them down and sew them with a sewing machine.
  4. For the pendant, wrap the ribbon around your neck loosely and cut the desired length. Repeat step 3. Afterwards, measure out the Velcro at the ends of the necklace and stick it on.
  5. Get dressed. Check on the glue if it's dry and cool. If it is, then put it on.
  6. Slap on the wristbands, the ears and the tail and now you're done!
I'm doing a few more lupine costume posts later on this year, so stay tuned. ^^ Hope yoooooou enjoyed!
