    1 yard Red fabric for the bows
    1 foam sheet for the Tiara

    Velcro - for the back bow, and necklace
    Background Music by Erik Moua

    THIS IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN EVERYONE ALWAYS WANTS TO MAKE IT! The bow method and the shoulder pads are genius.

    • @peachy1392
      @peachy1392 8 років тому +7

      My only problem is that the blue and red fabrics looked VERY cheap and costumey, not really professional fabrics. It makes it look like less effort was put into it, and we can see that you actually did put a lot of effort in.

    There is a type of spray paint made for leather that won't crack...it's called Meltonian Nu-life color spray and it comes in a ton of different colors. It works great, too.

    Happy 10th episode of Thrifted Transformations! I got so many requests to do a Sailor Moon costume, so challenge accepted! What Thrifted Transformations do you want to see next? More costumes or Fall/Winter clothing? Please let me know :) ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION in the video that after you spray paint the boots, some of the color will chip off but I think its totally fine for a costume. If you want to actually wear the boots long term, I don't recommend doing what I did lol. Again, thank you so much for watching! For all the extra materials I used, check the description box

    For long term wear, Angelus Leather Paint is amazing, it molds to the leather and moves with it.

    At first I didn't want to watch this episode cause I've never liked sailor moon, then I thought that even if I don't like it, I could learn something new. And boy did I! It was awesome. Thank you

    The shoulder pads were the best shortcut! Usually I see other people make them and stuff them like the other stuffed pieces.

    A lot of the methods you used were clever and easier than the sailor moon costume I've seen. This costume is really well done!

  • @kyandi3
    @kyandi3 9 років тому

    ahh the trick with using shoulder pads for the sleeves is brilliant! I made my own Sailor Mars cosplay about two years ago; I wish I had thought of that back then because the sleeves were the hardest part to make!

    • @coolirpa
      @coolirpa  9 років тому +1

      Haha i know right! Originally i was going to sew the shoulder pads inside sleeves, but then realized that it'll be so much easier to use them as the actual sleeves! xD So happy i realized that because the sleeves would've been really complicated for me as well!

    @joliekitty213 9 років тому

    This costume came out amazing! I see a lot of items at the thrift store that I think about transforming or even just altering but I pass them by because I already have a big pile at home that I haven't touched yet. I'm glad there are people out there doing it. :)

  • @miniwolfsbane2407
    @miniwolfsbane2407 8 років тому

    Oh wow, totally amazing!! I've wanted to dress up as Sailor Moon (or Jupiter, since she's my favorite) since I was a kid, but haven't gotten the opprtunity to do so yet. I appreciate your attention to detail and accuracy. Some people forget the puffy sleeves and the v-shaped material around her waist. Great work!!

  • @veronicagdowning

    One other alternative to the spray paint is to use Design Master Floral Spray Paint. A friend recommended it to me a few years ago for a cosplay and it works super well and doesn't chip or crack! c:
