Carbon Costume

Elrond is a minor character in Lord of the Rings. He is the wise and noble half-elf who rules Rivendell, as its original founder. He is also the father of Arwen. When Gandalf resists asking more from Frodo, he persuades Fellowship to continue its journey of destroying the Ring. This leads to his formation of the Council of Elrond. In the film adaptation, Hugo Weaving plays this role. This look requires some minor crafting, as you’ll need the silver puff paint to draw the pattern on the coat. Tuck the red scarf into the brown cummerbund so it drapes over.

Asta (voiced by Gakuto Kajiwara and Dallas Reid) is one of the main protagonists of the Black Clover anime series.  Asta is an orphan raised by Orsi Orfai alongside his foster brother Yuno.  While Yuno excels in the magic arts, Asta exhibits no talent for magic despite a strong desire to become the Magic Emperor.  To make up for his lack of skill, Asta trains his body relentlessly, resulting in a very muscular physique for his size.  Asta’s costume consists of blue knickers, a white tunic, and a blue cropped jacket, as well as a headband and, later, a matching cloak.

Major Bedhead (Fred Stinson) is a recurring character on The Big Comfy Couch, a Canadian children’s show from the 90s. He is a clown who delivers the mail on his unicycle. He stops by to give Loonette postcards from her Auntie Macassar or Uncle Chester. However, he comes off as quite irresponsible for spending so much time chatting with Loonette and Granny Garbanzo and not delivering packages. Goofy yet clumsy, Major Bedhead possesses many clowning skills such as juggling and pogo sticking. His pet peeves are lying and dishonesty.

Jeremy Belpois (voiced by Sharon Mann) is a main character in the French cartoon Code Lyoko.  A young genius, Jeremy is a student at Kadic Academy and the unofficial founder of the Lyoko Warriors, which also includes Aelita Schaeffer, Odd Della Robbia, William Dunbar, Ulrich Stern, and Yumi Ishiyama.  Jeremy favors turtleneck sweaters and cropped pants, making his costume an easy and comfortable one to recreate.

Roy isn’t what you would call “brave”. Sure he’s dealt with pizza monsters but he didn’t want to! What else was he supposed to do as a delivery driver? The customer was waiting for their pizza!

For the most part Roy wears a red polo, regular blue jeans, a brown leather belt, and grey shoes with red shoe laces. He has an alternate appearance with a long sleeve red polo on under a grey shirt. The grey shirt has a Creameo (the in-game answer to the Oreo) on the chest and the red shirt’s sleeves are slightly bunched up. The alternate appearance also has brown shoes instead of grey but the laces are still red.

Kristoff (voiced by Jonathan Groff, who you may know as King George III from Hamilton) is a character in Frozen. Rugged and broad shouldered, he works as an ice harvester with his reindeer companion, Sven. At first, he preferred being on his own, playing his guitar and mimicking the voice of his reindeer. Although Princess Anna convinces him to help find her sister, Elsa, in the North Mountain. On the journey, Anna and Kristoff develop feelings for each other. He introduces her to his adoptive family, the Rock Trolls, who call Kristoff a bit of a “fixer-upper.” He returns to save the sisters from Prince Hans. In the end, Anna and Kristoff get together. Use the hot glue to add fur to the collar, sleeves, and bottom of the t-shirt.

Captain Falcon is an F-Zero racer and intergalactic bounty hunter in the F-Zero anime and gaming series.  Captain Falcon is a muscular man who dons several versions of his iconic uniform throughout the evolution of the F-Zero game series, though all of them include similar attributes.  To recreate Captain Falcon’s look, you’ll need yellow boots and gloves, a dark blue bodysuit, and a red helmet.

Shovel Knight might not be the tallest fighter on the field. But if his enemies underestimate him, that’s their problem. Literally. Armed with his trusty shovel blade and guided by the code of Shovelry he is almost always the last one standing when the battle is over.

Taking on the Shovel Knight’s helm requires a little bit of DIY. You’ll need to get a set of costume armor, some spray paint, painter’s tape, super glue, and large fake horns.

Paint the armor blue then – when it’s fully cured – use the painter’s tape and whatever newspaper you have lying around to cover up the majority of the armor. Then use the yellow spray paint to put on the edging details. That includes a ring of yellow around the seal where you have glued the horns to your helmet after removing them from their original helmet.

Finally grab a trust shovel and head to battle! An actual shovel may violate the rules of some cons, however. In those cases you can follow a tutorial like this one to make one that is safe to take into the venue.
