How do I make Mojo Jojo's helmet DIY?

Roll a sheet of white poster board into a cylinder that fits your head, tape it secure, and paint horizontal purple stripes on it. Attach it to a purple headband or beanie to keep it in place.

What kind of shoes should I wear?

White calf-high boots are ideal, but you can easily use white rain boots or wrap white felt/fabric around your regular shoes to create boot covers.

Is green face paint necessary?

While green face paint gives the most authentic chimpanzee look, you can also use a green fabric hood or a Mojo Jojo mask if you want to avoid makeup.

How to put it together

1
Apply the green face paint evenly over your face, neck, and ears, leaving the area around your eyes clear if you plan to wear dramatic eyeliner.
2
Put on the royal blue tunic, ensuring it fits loosely and hangs down to about mid-thigh.
3
Secure the wide white belt tightly around your waist, directly over the blue tunic.
4
Drape the long purple cape over your shoulders and fasten it securely at the collar.
5
Pull on the white gauntlet gloves, flaring the cuffs out over your forearms.
6
Step into the white calf-high boots or pull your DIY white boot covers over your shoes.
7
Place the tall Mojo Jojo brain helmet on your head, adjusting it so it sits straight and covers your hairline.

Makeup & hair

Apply solid green face paint to all exposed skin on your face and neck. Use black eyeliner to draw dramatic, thick, arched villain eyebrows and define your eyes.

Mojo Jojo for couples, groups, kids & more

couples: Pair up with someone dressed as Him, Professor Utonium, or one of the Powerpuff Girls.
group: Gather a trio to play Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup while you play their arch-nemesis.
kids: Use a green hoodie, a purple felt cape, and a lightweight foam helmet for a comfortable kids' version.
Plus size: Opt for an oversized royal blue knit dress or long-line t-shirt for a comfortable, flexible fit.
pet: Dress your pet in a small purple cape and a soft green collar.

Tips

Keep the helmet lightweight; using heavy materials like thick plastic will make it uncomfortable to wear for long periods.
If using face paint, set it with a translucent setting powder so it doesn't rub off onto your white collar, cape, or gloves.
Practice speaking in Mojo Jojo's signature repetitive, redundant, and highly detailed cadence for maximum comedic effect.
