Introduction: Ghost Cosplay Costume

About: We are Family. Our hobby is D.I.Y. and to Live.

I made a ghost cosplay costume.

Step 1: Materials

  • White cloth
  • LED tape
  • Yoga mat
  • Hula hoop

Step 2: Head

The yoga mat is molded into a dome shape.

I sewed wood glue to make it a little harder.

Step 3: Eyes

The eyes consisted of LED tape.

The LED tapes are arranged in a zigzag pattern on the left and right in a size of 5 x 7. The signal is input in 2 paras and the same operation is performed.


Arduino Code

The following libraries are used.

Randomly blinking crosses, eye colors, blinks, and hearts are displayed.

Step 4: Finish

Stick the cloth on the dome. A 1.1m x 2.1m cloth was sewn into a cylinder and sewn onto the dome.

The upper part of the dome was cut in the cloth and glued with wood glue. I cut out the hole in the mouth and put a black mesh cloth on the back. I also pasted the witch hat.

The hem is sewn a few centimeters and has a hula hoop inside.
