Hello my lovely readers 🙂 How’s everything going?
Halloween is right behind the corner, so today I want to share with you a last minute Tamagotichi costume, that you can make with materials you have at home.
Halloween está a la vuelta de la esquina, por lo tanto hoy quiero compartir con vosotros un disfraz de Tamagotchi, que podéis hacer con materiales que tenéis en casa.
In Spain we usually wear costumes in Carnival. This is the costume me and my friends wore last Carnival. All together it looked amazing, each one of my friends wore it in a different colour. As you say in English, we were “squad goals”.
En España normalmente nos disfrazamos en Carnaval. Este disfraz es el que llevamos yo y mis amigas el año pasado. Todas juntas quedaba muy chulo, cada una de mis amigas lo llevaba en un color distinto. Como se dice en inglés, éramos “squad goals”.
I already had at home all the materials I used, so you can also make this costume pretty easily. I used:
Ya tenía en casa todos los materiales que usé para este disfraz, de este modo tú también lo puedes hacer de una manera sencilla. Usé:
- Two cardboard boxes / Dos cajas de cartón
- A blue paper sheet / Una hoja de papel azul
- A plastic bag / Una bolsa de plástico
- Some foam rubber / Goma eva.
- Some wrapping paper / Papel para envolver
The first step is to cut the cardboard boxes in an egg shape with a cutter. If you plan to go out and go to a club I think it’s may be better if you do it with foam rubber so you don’t hit other people.
El primer paso es cortar las cajas de cartón en forma de huevo, con un cutter. Si tienes pensado ir a una discoteca igual es mejor hacerlo de goma eva para que no les des a otras personas.
In order to make the screen of the Tamagotchi, search some Tamagotchi pictures and draw your favourite one in a blue sheet of paper.
Para hacer la pantalla del Tamagotchi, busca algunas imágenes de Tamagotchi y dibuja tu favorita en una hoja de papel azul.
To make the frame of the screen take some wrapping paper and place the blue sheet over it, then draw a kind of frame for the screen that has some sharp edges. After cutting the wrapping paper with the sharp edges, stick it in the middle of one of the cardboards, then over it stick the sheet of paper with the tamagotchi drawing.
Para hacer el marco de la pantalla, coge el papel para envolver y pon la hoja azul sobre él, entonces dibuja una especie de marco con unos bordes puntiagudos. Después de cortar el papel para envolver con los bordes puntiagudos, pégalo en el medio del cartón, entonces pega sobre el la hoja azul con el dibujo del Tamagotchi.
Then to make the buttons just take foam rubber and using a glass draw the shape and cut it. Stick them to the lower part of the cardboard.
Para hacer los botones usando un vaso, dibuja en tres círculos en la goma eva y recórtalos. Pégalos en la parte baja del cartón.
On the other cardboard you can write your name mixed with the word Tamagotchi. It looks really nice if you use similar letters to the tamagotchi ones.
En el otro cartón puedes escribir tu nombre mezclado con la palabra Tamagotchi. Queda muy bonito si usas unas letras similares a las del tamagotchi.
Finally to join one cardboard to the other you need some kind of straps. Since I was going to wear black clothes underneath I decided to make them black. What I did was to cut a plastic bag into the shape of straps and stick it to the inside part of the cardboard with some clear sellotape.
Finalmente para unir un cartón con el otro necesitas una especie de tirantes. Como yo iba a llevar ropa negra debajo decicí hacerlos negros. Lo que hice es cortar una bolsa de plástico en la forma de tirantes y pegarlo por la parte interior de los cartones con celo transparente.
As accessories you can wear either a wig with or a headband in the same colour as your tamagotchi.
Como complementos puedes llevar una peluca o cinta de pelo del mismo color que tu tamagotchi.
If you try to make this costume please share with me the result through Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, I’d love to see your take on it. Also if you want a bit more girly costume you can check out my last year RABBIT COSTUME.
