They say the eyes are the window to your soul, and so over the years, people grew conscious of enhancing their looks by concentrating on their eyes. Eye make ups, eye care, and accessories grew popular. Contact lenses came about to do away with eye glasses that more often than not, become hindrances to people who are on the go. But today, contact lenses have come a long way from just being a medical corrective device to cosmetic purposes.

This supergirl outfit won’t be complete without the blue eyes..

Anyway, check the details here.

So, How did I do it?

First of all, the yellow bra and the yellow skirt were two things that I just bought in Divisoria.  I was scouting for either a skirt or shorts.  If you are not too comfortable wearing this, you can find alternatives like yellow t-shirts or a yellow jumpsuit and yellow pants.

It’s up to you.  the main highlight of the costume is the Pikachu tail and the Pikachu ears.

Here’s how I did it.

How to make Pikachu Ears

Things you need:

• hard folder
• non-silk, hard yellow cloth
• scissors
• scotch tape
• black or yellow headband
• needle and thread
• black paint
• paint brush

1.  I got a cardboard and cut it into two rectangles of exact shape.  You can recycle used folders like I did.

2. Draw ears to shape the cardboard

3. Cut the line where you drew the shape with and fold the lower half.  Just estimate how long the ears should be.  I never really used a ruler, I just estimated things through.  Get the yellow cloth and trace the ears.  Then, retrace the ears outside by 1 cm to make sure you have space for sewing cloth.

4.  Get a black head band where you can attach these ears with.  I just used ordinary scotch tape to attach the ears on the headband.  Give a little support to the ears so that it stays standing by putting a triangle shaped carboard as you can see blow to keep the ears erect.  Just use ordinary tape to do this.

5.  Sew the yellow cloth for ears.  I totally forgot to take pictures while sewing it.  Remember when you traced it above on #3 that you need to give the allowance for sewing.

6.  Put the cloth on top of the ears and I just taped it to the cardboard.  You may opt to use a glue gun if you want to.

7.  Paint the black part of the ears.  It helps if you draw a line first and then just trace it with the paint and overlap.

8.  Do it on both sides and that’s it – you’re done

The next tutorial that I will give is how to make Pikachu tail.  It is more challenging than making the ears…

I must say though, I am proud of the tail that I made.  The Cream Ball Halloween Party was very crowded and people kept bumping on my tail.  I was surprised that I made it so well that it stood up until now. I wasn’t using any string or what not to aid the tail to be upright.
