The Hatsume Festival at the Morikami Museum and Gardens was quickly approaching, and I still had not made my costume. I had planned on being No Face from Spirited Away, but I didn't want to spend money on buying fabric. So I did a Google search for "last minute cosplay ideas" and discovered how easy it would be to make a Pocky costume.
These were my supplies. My dad had a large cardboard box so the only things I had to buy were two cans of spray paint and some glue. It came out to under $5.
Many hours of Photoshop later, I was able to cut out the letters from printer paper and make Pocky sticks out of newspaper. It all worked out a million times better than I had planned. Seriously, guys, I've NEVER done a successful craft in my life!
Katie went with me to the festival. This is a picture of her trying to eat me. O_o
And this is Katie eating a giant stick of Pocky in her fantabulous Rainbow Dash shirt while I stare, terrified. Because we're just that awesome.
I was very happy with how the costume went over. Lots of people came up and asked to take pictures with me, and one of the candy vendors even gave me a free box of Pocky!! (He wanted me to be a cannibal, I guess.) It was an amazing day!
