How to put it together
- 1
Put on the Lucario kigurumi onesie, or your base blue hoodie paired with black pants.
- 2
If DIYing the hood, cut four long, flat, teardrop-shaped appendages from black felt and fabric-glue them to the sides of the hood.
- 3
Construct three small white cones out of white felt or craft foam to serve as spikes.
- 4
Attach one white spike to the center of the yellow chest panel using fabric glue or safety pins.
- 5
Attach the remaining two white spikes to the backs of your black gloves, just over the knuckles.
- 6
Put on the black gloves and step into matching blue or black sneakers.
- 7
Pull the hood up over your head to complete the silhouette.
Makeup & hair
If your face is visible under the hood, apply blue face paint across your nose and cheeks, leaving a black painted tip on your nose to mimic a canine snout. Keep your hair tied back and tucked completely inside the hood.
