Extra Materials:
1 yard Red fabric for the bows
1 foam sheet for the Tiara
1 heart magnet from Walmart
Spray Paint - Krylon Red Glossy and White Glossy (I forgot to mention that if you spray paint the boots, they will chip. But it does the job for a costume.)
Stuffing
White Shoulder Pads from Joanns
White gloves from Savers
Velcro - for the back bow, and necklace
Background Music by Erik Moua
Transformation Song by Kunning Fox: • Sailor Moon - Moon Pri...

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.

[@AnnikaVictoria24]

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 =)

[@bellabluu1279]

WOW!! this is awesome April! It looks better than something you would buy already made! Gurl, you got skillz! Great job! Looking foward to more Thrifted Transformation. : D

[@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❤️❤️❤️

[@michaelgarro227]

​@@coolirpalove sailor moon and you look so very beautiful and very gorgeous

[@grymmdoll]

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

[@mercyyepez14]

This looks way better than what they're selling in stores!! Good job!!!

[@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

[@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!

[@ReinalynMangosing]

I absolutely love your recreation! I appreciate it when people stay with the original design! LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

[@coolirpa]

thanks :D

[@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

[@wafaaanwar9548]

I think April is very talented & creative. I really enjoyed her work.

[@Jdelacruz94]

This is probably one of the best if not THE BEST Sailor Moon costumes ever. Seriously girl! Great Job!

[@Faithspective]

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

[@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 :)

[@carmentovar8752]

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

[@maryannanderson7517]

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

[@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 :)

[@janerez6174]

Ahhhhh I love this. I've wanted a sailor moon costume for so long. This is by far the best I've seen!!!

[@coolirpa]

aww thank you so much! :')

[@GummieBear42694]

This is unbelievable! April, you're truly the best!

[@msKita43]

omg, my favorite childhood cartoon. loved this! And I totally was thinking of this costume a few years back. perfect

[@ivymonique]

You're amazing. Your thrifted transformation costumes always come out great, way better than anything you buy at the store for over like $50.

[@coolirpa]

Thanks so much Ivy!

[@GetItInProductions]

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

[@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! 😉

[@BonnieOrozco]

A lot of the methods you used were clever and easier than the sailor moon costume I've seen. This costume is really well done!

[@user-vu7yz2ol5f]

You have a golden hands to do it by your own!! Just wow..😘

[@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

[@mirandamayuiers6583]

This was the best tutorial by far that I found online on how to make the Sailor Moon costume. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@jabagabba]

Wow! So much work! Beautiful eye for detail, Sailor Moon costume looks awesome! 🌙

[@miniwolfsbane2407]

Oh wow, totally amazing!! I've wanted to dress up as Sailor Moon (or Jupiter, since she's my favorite) since I was a kid, but haven't gotten the opprtunity to do so yet. I appreciate your attention to detail and accuracy. Some people forget the puffy sleeves and the v-shaped material around her waist. Great work!!

[@selliemusiclover1]

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

[@coolirpa]

Awesome!!! Have fun with it 😁

[@chrisgonzalez9940]

Wow, I'm amazed by your talent. I've never seen someone who can create an amazing sailormoon costume like you did in this video. I'm still shocked by how amazing it looked. Also love how you kept up with the details. Listen, you're awesome and you have amazing talent. Keep up the good work. I'll definitely be talking about you to everyone I know.

[@dancemusicsinging]

i love to see a queen of hearts inspired costume

[@joliekitty213]

This costume came out amazing! I see a lot of items at the thrift store that I think about transforming or even just altering but I pass them by because I already have a big pile at home that I haven't touched yet. I'm glad there are people out there doing it. :)

[@ThatOneFemaleGamer]

This was the smartest way to do the sleeves I've seen yet! Awesome job :D

[@serenikika]

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

[@coleslawadams]

Wow that's awesome and seems doable, too! Great job, Happy Halloween :)

[@seshe1995]

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

[@mfod424]

You are definitely one of my favorite youtubers and trifted transformations is my #1 favorite. I so look forward to it. Keep up the good work. I loved the idea :)

[@yippedoodah]

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

[@merich25]

Awesome sailor Moon costume !! I love it... 👍👍👍

[@sewaldodiy]

Awesome job April I love it!

[@Ch10eo2o7]

Wow you are amazing ! I’m a huge fan of sailor moon growing up.. and this costume is amazing .. you rocked it ..

[@gokublackrose5376]

That costume looks gorgeous.

[@amandareicha5065]

I've always been a big Sailor Moon fan and your costume was awesome! I love your videos 💕☺️

[@josephinewinter]

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

[@mingowenny]

Best sailor moon tutorial ever!!!! Thank you.

[@gamerqueen5529]

wow i have looked at so many diy sailor moon costumes and i have to say by far yours is the best keep up the good work

[@ube_flan]

I love love love your thrifted transformation videos! I want to do stuff like cosplay and just everyday clothing from thrift store finds, but never really knew too much... until I watched your videos. :D You are a great inspiration and I hope that you keep doing these types of videos.

[@kyandi3]

ahh the trick with using shoulder pads for the sleeves is brilliant! I made my own Sailor Mars cosplay about two years ago; I wish I had thought of that back then because the sleeves were the hardest part to make!

[@coolirpa]

Haha i know right! Originally i was going to sew the shoulder pads inside sleeves, but then realized that it'll be so much easier to use them as the actual sleeves! xD So happy i realized that because the sleeves would've been really complicated for me as well!

[@caitlyntelford4010]

This is the first diy that I actually liked

[@AMerzz]

I am SO INSANELY IMPRESSED by your KZbin Channel! You are so talented! I just subscribed to your channel and I cannot wait to see what other creations you have up your sleeve (: You are a true inspiration!

[@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

[@nancyloaz]

This is soooo cute!!!

[@coolirpa]

Thank you😄💗

[@kohbeecheng7385]

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

[@rachelbrenner4092]

The shoulder pads were the best shortcut! Usually I see other people make them and stuff them like the other stuffed pieces.

[@tehfizzeh]

Best sailormoon costume ive seen! Love all your videos!

[@Jeannanas]

Wooooow that's amazing! I think that's one of the best cosplays I've ever seen in my entire life!

[@CoaCoaLULU7]

This was amazing. I loved it and fangirled. I love Sailor Moon and I am so happy they remade it. Sailor Moon Crystal is awesome. Thankyou. I say Sailor Saturn would be awesome. Or pluto.

[@coolirpa]

Thank you for watching 😉

[@CoaCoaLULU7]

Well, thankyou for the amazing Tutorial.

[@MusiqChildx]

I love your attention to detail!

[@samanthamargeson]

Love Sailor Moon! Awesome costume!

[@ashley-aidaliabril9670]

These are so amazing!!! The next video that would be awesome is the queen serentity dress.

[@amandathao2022]

I love it, it looks so much more accurate than buy it in stores.

[@coolirpa]

Thanks so much 😉💞

[@jannatr9431]

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

[@queshaspice4848]

This costume is so cute. I think you are very talented, I want to see some fall thrifted transformations.

[@tiaria8689]

Your designs and transformations are incredible! I live watching your videos. I'm anxious to begin my own thrift shop transformations, as soon as the client work slows down. :-)

[@nathaliemorales5498]

You are amazing!!! An idol!! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Will defiantly be following this for my next cosplay!!

[@Sam-iv3ts]

I love your videos even tho I don't sew. This one is by far my favorite!!!

[@djmindy]

This is the best transformation!!! Omg. So detailed

[@TheOtherSideOfAlex]

you are unstoppable! amazing as always I am left stunned

[@caillouthebuilder]

pretty cool! You actually look really close to the Live Action Sailor Moon

[@corysigars8718]

Wow what a great idea and so much cheaper then buying costume out right online and hoping that it fits

[@albertconrad1648]

Wow thats honestly awesome!! Id love to see you do an eternal or super sailor moon with that magnet brooch or a sailor saturn but you guys are awesome!

[@mochilover9848]

You are so thrifty!!! I love it so much!!

[@ericaanndorris]

you did such an awesome job!! I love all the details! I loved Sailor Moon!

[@carolynbentley691]

This is so awesome! I'm a cosplayer and I think you did a wicked good job!

[@newcreature222]

I love seeing your talent, you ate amazing at what you do !!!

[@coolirpa]

Thank you so much for watching! 😁

[@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:

[@askjamie6816]

Amazing!! This is so great on so many levels!

[@melbabowen4389]

you are so talented. thank you for sharing your talent.

[@prettyfacerivera]

Omg this is perfect! Like a high quality costume! Only wish I had a sewing machine lol

[@kellylyons4716]

You are very talented and resourceful!

[@sakurap]

Very well done with the thrifted transformation for Sailor Moon's outfit! :D It looked awesome so hopefully I can try this myself too.

[@coolirpa]

Thank you! If you try it out, I would love to see a picture! :D

[@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!

[@ecortez2191]

You're just amazing at these things!!!

[@silvanacontreras2750]

Woooow! Is perfect! Beautiful work ❤

[@M3Mys3lfandMus1c]

Such an amazing costume! So much hard work also but looks like it payed off so well!

[@pinkyglasses]

This is so amazing! I love to see a fall clothing though. Anyway, this is just awesome!

[@artsybecca1692]

This was so cool! I cosplay, and I try to find "bases" for them to add onto. Sailor Jupitor is on my list, but I had been having issues with the body suit, collar, and sleeves. I thankfully know how to do a skirt. This was insanely helpful!

[@blaireauger755]

amazing... OMG this is actually so on point

[@BabyKrogan]

You did a great job, it looks awesome!

[@karencambas6187]

I love it!! Id love to see a frozen inspired costume :)

[@m.o.4837]

[@vickyannnz]

[@shadedesigns1474]

It's final, you are actually magic.

[@sdayae]

................How is this possible? You're so talented! And you just earned yourself a new subscriber ;)

[@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 😃

[@thegrinch0614]

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

[@evamve]
