Low Cost Cosplay: Three Men's Ingenious Creations!
Did you think that cosplay was reserved just for the wealthier dress up fans among us? Well think again, because three friends from Thailand are taking Facebook by storm, uploading their own low cost costume versions of some of our best loved characters. Often hilarious and always inventive, this trio are proving you don’t need a big budget to engage in some fancy dress fun. Instead you just need some everyday items and your imagination. Oh and a sense of humour.
Then if you thought is was going to be too hard to recreate Davy Jones’s tentacle beard, well you’re wrong. All you actually have to do is hold your hands in front of your face, thus creating the perfect tentacle beard. Though you might want to recruit a friend for extra authenticity. Sadly this one might not be too practical for comic-con.
Don't just limit yourself to movie and TV characters. If you'd rather be the iconic statue of liberty, a little photo trickery works wonder, as do some plastic garden chairs. Of course, with the success of Disney's ‘Frozen’ surely Elsa the Snow Queen is going to be top of every little girl’s Halloween dress up list this year. Well before you fork out on an expensive costume have a look at what these guys have done. A satin sheet turned into a makeshift wig and a towel as a dress is all you really need, oh and a bag of ice cubes for that added authentic touch.
If you thought being Iceman might be hard its really not, all you need is some power and a normal black shirt and bravo you're ready to join the 'X-Men'. What about all the 'Iron Man' fans? That's a pretty expensive looking mask isn't it? Well there's no need to invest, instead just paint your face yellow, red and white then everyone will know who you are.
