  • Learn how to make a Sailor Moon Costume! I will list all the materials down below. For more pictures, follow me on Instagram & Facebook :)
    The sewing machine I use is a Juki-HZL from www.SewingMachinesPlus.com, the direct link to it is:
    www.sewingmachinesplus.com/juk...
    Extra Materials:
    1 yard Red fabric for the bows
    1 foam sheet for the Tiara
    1 heart magnet from Walmart
    Spray Paint - Krylon Red Glossy and White Glossy (I forgot to mention that if you spray paint the boots, they will chip. But it does the job for a costume.)
    Stuffing
    White Shoulder Pads from Joanns
    White gloves from Savers
    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

      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.

      Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of months xD

    I would never have thought to use shoulder pads. That's actually genius.

    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

    You're amazing. Your thrifted transformation costumes always come out great, way better than anything you buy at the store for over like $50.

  • @rachelbrenner4092
    @rachelbrenner4092 Před 7 lety

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

  • @kyandi3
    @kyandi3 Před 9 lety

    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  Před 9 lety +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
    @joliekitty213 Před 9 lety

    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. :)

    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!!
