In let's tell you how to make this original costume with these simple steps, get to work!

one

To be able to dress up as Pokémon, the first thing we have to remember is that the essential colors of Pikachu are yellow and black, so the first thing to do to disguise yourself as Pikachu is to look for a long sleeve shirt that we have yellow and some tights or tights that are also of this color.

We know that this tone is a bit complicated to have because it is very bright and intense, for this reason, if you want another inexpensive option to make a Pokémon costume is to take a shirt and pants that are light in color (white, gray, brown). clear, etc.) and you dye it with bright yellow. In this other article we tell you how to dye clothes.

Remember that in the back part, Pikachu has a darker color (can be brown or black). To have this characteristic element of the most famous of the Pokémons, it will be enough to get a marker suitable for clothing (available in craft stores) or, if you buy a piece of fabric of the chosen color to do it ourselves .

In this sense you should bear in mind that the shape of this brand is pointed, as if we were joining two isosceles triangles forming, thus, a line that goes from hip to hip in a horizontal way.

So, you must cut these triangles in the dark fabric, join them with each other to create the line (remember that Picachu has two marks) and then sew them to the yellow pants that we are going to wear. The exact location is one just where we have the back and the other a little below.

Another of the most distinguished elements of Pikachu is that it has a zigzag tail so, in order to make this Pokémon costume it will be important that we add this element to the costume. How? Very easy: with a cardboard that is hard enough so that it does not bend at the first change.

To make this element of disguise we will need:

• Paperboard
• Black and yellow paint
• Scissors
• Staples

The first thing we have to do is cut out the cardboard in zigzag form, for this we recommend that you first draw the shape you want with a pencil and, thus, when cutting, you will only have to follow the line.

When you have it, paint the lower part of the tail black and the upper part yellow; remember that the top part will have to be a little bigger than the bottom part, since it is assumed that the tail is ascending.

Finally, it will be enough for grapes to line the back of the suit (both trousers and shirts) so that, in this way, it stays firm and straight during all the time. If you just attach it to the back part, in the end, it will end up bending.

To make the face of Pikachu we are going to propose you an option of the simplest that will help you to make your Pokémon costume perfect . It will be enough for you to buy a hat for the head that is yellow, so, we will have the face of the nice creature. To give you the traits you need to have personality, we will need:

• Scraps of yellow fabric (for the antennae)
• Marker black and red
• Old socks

What we have to do is, first of all, create the antennas of the character and, for this, we will use the scraps of cloth, we will make a cone with them and we will sew it. Inside we will put old socks to give it shape and to be straight. When we have it, we will paint the upper end of a black color to, thus, better emulate Pikachu. We'll have to sew them to the hat and that's it!

The markers will be used to create the face of the character : make eyes, nose, mouth in black and cheeks round and red with red. It is done! Put on your hat and you will be a real Pokémon.

The footwear for a Pikachu costume is very simple because we only need to wear black shoes or boots that cover the entire foot. In this way, we will have transformed into our favorite Pokémon in the blink of an eye.

In case you want to make a Pokémon costume for girls, you should follow the same steps as we mentioned but, instead of wearing the bottom of pants, choose a skirt that is yellow. Thus, we will give the feminine touch to the suit and we will be beautiful with our Pikachu costume.
