Pikachu is easily the most popular character in the Pokemon series. Created in Japan in the 1990s to be part of a Pokemon video game, Pikachu has since risen in popularity and graced merchandise, games and television shows. He's a cute yellow little guy who often accompanies the character Ash. Pikachu costumes can be expensive if purchased from a store, but you can pull together your own costume for much less at home. Don't forget to add a Pokeball as an accessory.
Instructions
1. Start with an all-yellow outfit of some sort. Use a plain yellow sweatsuit or pajamas. Or, opt for a yellow top and pants. The brighter the yellow, the better.
2. Sew a long tail using yellow fabric. Stuff the tail with cotton batting and sew closed. Sew or pin the tail to the bottom of your costume. Add a yellow feather boa to your tail to make it fluffy. Or, opt to pin a yellow feather boa to the bottom of your costume. Add a wire to make a lightning-bolt shape.
3. Create a lightning bolt out of black fabric. Sew or glue on your back.
4. Make your ears. Use a yellow headband or ball cap as the base. Cut two rabbit-style ears out of yellow poster board. Color the tops of the ears black. Tape or glue them on to your cap or headband.
5. Decorate your face with makeup. Pikachu has bright red circles on his cheeks, big black eyes and a little black nose. Use a picture of Pikachu and make yourself up to look as much like the character as possible.
