Extra Materials:
1 yard Red fabric for the bows

YOU ARE A WIZARD!!!! Oh my goodness.

[@izzydipietro6355]

Love you Annika :)

[@juliusjeremy4723]

Dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you're bored like me atm then you can stream all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of months xD

[@hamzazavier5645]

@Julius Jeremy yup, have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself =)

[@jacdufoi]

There is a type of spray paint made for leather that won't crack...it's called Meltonian Nu-life color spray and it comes in a ton of different colors. It works great, too.

[@coolirpa]

sweet! thanks for the tip!!! :D

[@CireneOpenMinded]

Cool👍🏼 also , another alternative would be acrylic or ,even better, fabric paint 😊luv this tutorial❤️❤️❤️

[@syltwee]

THIS IS SO MUCH EASIER THAN EVERYONE ALWAYS WANTS TO MAKE IT! The bow method and the shoulder pads are genius.

[@syltwee]

My only problem is that the blue and red fabrics looked VERY cheap and costumey, not really professional fabrics. It makes it look like less effort was put into it, and we can see that you actually did put a lot of effort in.

[@coolirpa]

Happy 10th episode of Thrifted Transformations! I got so many requests to do a Sailor Moon costume, so challenge accepted! What Thrifted Transformations do you want to see next? More costumes or Fall/Winter clothing? Please let me know :) ALSO I FORGOT TO MENTION in the video that after you spray paint the boots, some of the color will chip off but I think its totally fine for a costume. If you want to actually wear the boots long term, I don't recommend doing what I did lol. Again, thank you so much for watching! For all the extra materials I used, check the description box

[@MrsDivinerightHeard]

OMG! I was so crazy for sailor moon when I was younger I love this!

[@TraceyFranco]

omg this is so crazy i was just looking at sailor moon costumes online lol now i can make my own thanks for the video love it ^_^

[@SuellenRezende]

Amei ❤️

[@tigger8038]

Rainbow Bright!!!

[@merich25]

I want to see next the "card capture sakura" costume :)

[@hiitsmeG]

By far the best Sailor Moon Costume on YT. And omg, the collar is srsly the hardest part for me. xD

[@박봄-l2q]

Sailor Scouts are wearing in Leotard and detachable Hip Roll and Skirt

[@grymmdoll]

I would never have thought to use shoulder pads. That's actually genius.

[@veronica5896]

Its so much I wanna say, but I think this sums it up pretty much: WOW!

[@coolirpa]

Haha thank you!!! 😁😁😁

[@floriatosca7271]

coolirpa can you do this the same way but in pink to make a chibiusa one? cause the acually cosplays for her are really espensive

[@nancyloaz]

This is soooo cute!!!

[@coolirpa]

Thank you😄💗

[@kohbeecheng7385]

coolirpa yeah! I also think that you have a super good talent!💕💖

[@selliemusiclover1]

Oh my goodness you are so talented! Im going to make my own Halloween costume now

[@coolirpa]

Awesome!!! Have fun with it 😁

[@seshe1995]

For long term wear, Angelus Leather Paint is amazing, it molds to the leather and moves with it.

[@maryannanderson7517]

Very cute. I only found you yesterday and I am already seriously addicted! I really enjoy watching your transformations.

[@brunettehair1]

This is the best transformation yet! All your transformations are awesome, but this one took the cake. I wish I was as talented as you.

[@coolirpa]

Thanks so much Cristina Renteria :)

[@mauraomg]

I really REALLY love thrifted transformations. Never stop doing it. And also this costume is killer. Xo

[@coolirpa]

Thank you for watching and supporting! 😉

[@eggwashere]

I found a raw costume at my local thrift store last year and I was her for Halloween. I went there for shirts and stuff and found an actual costume!!

[@4EverCanela]

Value Village?

[@eggwashere]

SailorMew Nope. Savvy Exchange

[@jessicac.6817]

Omg lucky that would be so cool

[@stephx2l]

This came out amazing! You're so awesome I wish one day I can be good as you :) Do you think you can make a video of what's the best type of fabric to use when you're trying to make your own clothes? :)

[@CeruleanIncubus7]

This is awesome! I always watch your videos and I don't even know how to sew LOL. I think I might try now just because of you though

[@coolirpa]

Haha really?! Thanks for watching!!!! And you totally can do it! If you need help I have a beginner video on how to use a sewing machine 😃

[@Fernsherter]

I actually read somewhere that using floral spray paint on boots will actually stop it from chipping!

[@Michelles-atelier]

omg you need a lot more subbies... you are awesome

[@coolirpa]

aww thank you MICHELLE FURTADO you are awesome too :)

[@lorela9723]

So glad she hit a million !

[@SuperBernie15]

This was an amazing thrifted transformation!! ^-^

[@josephinewinter]

hard work ain't in it, you work so hard on little details i wouldn't bother with even!

[@vaanibean]

One other alternative to the spray paint is to use Design Master Floral Spray Paint. A friend recommended it to me a few years ago for a cosplay and it works super well and doesn't chip or crack! c:

[@JenniferCorres]

loved this! can you do a kiki's delivery service one please!!

[@sewaldodiy]

Awesome job April I love it!

[@bellabluu1279]

[@veronicagdowning]

EXCELLENT JOB! I don't sew.....but you made the job look very easy. And the costume is gorgeous!

[@yippedoodah]

Wow! I loved this! The way you did the bow was so clever :D

[@vayorilillubi]

its so cool. if you like a challenge, do more costume from anime. those are more hard to make

[@hairandmakeupme]

coolirpa Can you please make a child's versions of some of your creations I need more experience in that experience as well thanks a bunch for your time xXx :) :)

[@anjaymusign7028]

Hey thanks for this helpful DIY Video. Your costume looks amazing. But could you help me? I need the measurement of the bow for the back. The Front isn´t a problem but the back =( Could you help me?

[@aditi013]

This is so good! So apt. I was looking for this kind of a tutorial. Not much of talking, just the diy. Thank you, thank you so much!

[@janerez6174]

[@jillruff1655]

Wow!!! This video is fantastic! I'm going to try and make a Sailor Uranus cosplay with this tutorial! I will post it when I finish it! (Probably won't be for a few days) :) Thanks again and please continue to make videos!

[@buttonsburg]

The upside down sweetheart shape IS A BREAST PLATE!!! It's armor! Not just a line. -_-

[@yivashewolf]

This is so cool I have to do cosplays on a budget so this awesome video is Soo amazing. I didn't make my Harley Quinn costume I bought a cheap but good quality costume. It turned out pretty good. My next cosplay is gunna be a shiny Umbreon and I'm gunna put it together with different items. But I will definitely continue watching ur videos they are awesome

[@serenikika]

I loved your job. It is the best I've seen on the internet. Congratulations. Greetings from Mexico. You have my admiration. Kisses!

[@Cindyy1209]

You should do Katy Perry "California Gurls" cupcake bra/costume as well please and thank you! :)@coolirpa

[@carmentovar8752]

This doesn't have enough likes, THIS IS MAGIC, THIS IS LIFE

[@Purpleannie19]

Hey Coolirpa, I hope you see my message, I wanted to request/ask/beg you to make a Asuna costume. I plan to cosplay that for next year. Its from the anime Sword Art Online. It looks difficult to make but im sure you can make it due to all the other costumes you have made :D Hope to get a reply.

[@jartist4]

amazing!!! I am working on a gender bender sailor mercury cosplay and I will definitely reference your video for making the sailor fuku top. I am a novice when it comes to sewing and will unfortunately hand stitch everything so hopefully I can get it done in time for the convention. Your tutorial is much easier to follow than others I've looked up. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! I can only hope my finished product will look as great as yours!

[@NvsGalaxy]

I'm making a Tiny Tina costume for conjikan, and I need to know how to make pants. I've looked up so many videos but nothing has helped so far. If you could do this for your next episode then that would be so appreciated. You make everything so much clearer.

[@20killershot]

I love watching your handy work. You have such great creativity I bet you didnt spend more than 20 bucks on all of that. Words cant describe it but WOW

[@GetItInProductions]

I was so skeptical about using shoulder pads for the sleeves but that REALLY worked great! so impressed!

[@d011p4rtz]

that was VERY inventive and cute! ^^ I LOVED Sailor Moon as a kid. Kind of wish I learned how to sew sooner than highschool :C

[@mayasoufana6885]

omg you have an amazing talent! i just signed up sewing course because watch your tutorial lol. kish kish from Indonesia!!

[@mibur531]

my mom runs an alteration shop that is need of some serious organizing! do you have any tips for keeping bobbins, ribbon, and tons of thread and etc. in order? I know your probably working on costumes so i will be totally patient for a quick tour of your crafting space :)

[@RoamingFlower]

You are really good at transforming! Love your video's!~ Love transformation vids because it helps me learn to sew on a budget. Is there a way for you to make formal wear?? men and women? :P

[@emiliaaljan5893]

Hello beautiful costume,greetings from Mar del Plata,Argentina.

[@beccuhh9446]

Omg!! Thanks so much for this video! I love the costume, and it came out looking so great! Is it alright if u could tell me how much were the items that you thrifted? I know thrift shop pricing is different everywhere, but i just wanted to get a good idea of the price range. Thanks!

[@97aywi]

Amazing!! Could you please do Attack on Titans costume? That would be awesome!

[@paulineouwerling3508]

Hey April! I really like all your video's you make! I would like to see some clothes you make from scrap, instead of out of thrift store things :) Keep up the good work!

[@StrangeStartrackerArt]

If you use that permanent furniture/object paint, you could probably have the boots last longer.

[@GigiWaterCat]

Love the video! I'm planning on using this to help me crate a Sailor saturn costume, i was wondering what advice you have for making Sailor Saturn's weird shoulders that are all spikey, i was going to use thin foam but i was wondering what you would do since you have much more sewing experience then me

[@jannatr9431]

You should make your own company! Start selling the wonderful creations that your make! I would be my definite go to store.

[@habibahsabri558]

can u make monkey d luffy costume for girl version that can be wear casually.,, btw i envy your talent (^^)

[@rinirino]

Cute!! Great job. So jealous. I wish I knew how to use a sewing machine and read patterns. :)

[@mariaaguilera7327]

At first I didn't want to watch this episode cause I've never liked sailor moon, then I thought that even if I don't like it, I could learn something new. And boy did I! It was awesome. Thank you

[@thegrinch0614]

Holy shit! You are amazing! You made it look so easy...and it came out incredibly awesome!!

[@stroheckercindy]

Mockingjay is coming up soon. How about making a effie trinket costume? Or at least something hunger games themed.

[@poissonCHA1]
