- What's up everyone?
My name is Sydney Crenshaw and today I'm going to be making
a Halloween costume.
This costume is inspired by the Netflix series,
"Julie and the Phantoms".
This is actually the outfit that Julie wore
in episode seven, as she performs "Edge of Great".
I think that this costume is super cute and I am so excited
to show you guys how you can make this at home.
Let's get started.
Okay guys, so I just went over to my desk
and I'm going to show you the materials
that you are going to need to create this look also.
To create this costume, you're going to need some scissors.
The only difference between these two is that these
are fabric scissors and these are regular,
but whichever ones you have and cut the best,
then just use those.
A black permanent marker, a long sleeve
white V-neck T-shirt, or if you just have a crew neck,
then that's okay, that still works.
Two white shower caps, some butterfly hair clips,
white duct tape, some butterfly pins, fabric glue,
and if you do not have fabric glue,
then you can just use like a hot glue gun or regular glue,
whichever one sticks the best.
Some colorful felt, preferably pink, purple or blue
because those are the colors of Julie's shirt butterflies.
And then lastly, you're going to need
some black jogging pants.
The very first thing that I'm gonna be working
on is her shirt.
As you can tell what Julie's shirt, she does have a bit
of like a slash kind of thing going on with her left arm.
We're gonna do our own way and put our own spin on it.
I'm going to start right here where the seam is
and I'm only going to cut a half circle
on the sleeve where I want my shoulder to stop.
What you don't want to do is cut all the way across
because then you will not have a sleeve
and you wanna make sure you still have something connected.
Boom!
Okay, now that we have just finished cutting
off her exposed shoulder area,
it's time to move on to the sleeves.
One thing that I noticed about Julie's sleeves
is that not only are they nice and puffy,
but they're also rather short.
They stop around her elbow length.
The length of my current shirt is a bit too long.
So I'm gonna try to cut it down to about right here
is where I wanna cut, not too far below the cut shoulder
part. And then repeat the process on your other sleeve.
As you noticed with Julie's top, her arm part
is like really puffy, and this is where the white
shower caps are gonna come in.
So you're gonna wanna grab one of your shower caps
and cut a hole about the size or width of your arm.
So that that way it gives you a slot to slide your arm right
into, and then create that puffy look that Julie has.
And then after creating that slot at the very top
of your shower cap, you're gonna wanna slide
your current sleeve right into that opening
and then just pull it through, through the bottom.
And then that gives you her puffy sleeve look.
You don't really need to attach it
with any safety pins or glue or anything
because it should already fit around your arm very well.
After doing this arm, you're gonna wanna repeat
the same process on the other arm.
Pull it through and then boom.
Now you have the puffy arm look
and we're literally so, so close to being done.
The only step left is to add the butterflies.
This is where your pin on butterflies are going to come in.
If you do not have any pin on butterflies accessible
at the moment, then you can make your own.
This is my butterfly that I made out of the colored felt.
And I'm going to show you guys how to make one
yourself right now.
Grab a piece of your colored felt, fold it
into a bit of a hot dog type of fold.
Try to make sure that the edges align perfectly
or as close as possible, flatten it out a little bit,
lay it down and then grab your permanent marker.
Now right here is where you're going to create your stencil
for your butterfly shape.
Make sure you draw your shape as close to the folded part
as possible because that's where you're gonna cut
so that both of your sides can look exactly the same.
Now that you have your butterfly shape,
just grab your scissors and start to cut
your butterfly shape.
Now open it up and you have something similar
to a butterfly.
Now start to draw in the butterfly details
so that it looks as close to a butterfly as possible.
Like with the line down the middle
and then I'm just gonna draw some little dots all
around it, just kind of get creative.
And then boom, now I have my butterfly.
She's very cute guys.
I noticed that Julie has her butterflies on the collar
and shoulder area of the left side of her shirt.
So that's where I'm gonna place them.
Grab your felt butterfly and then grab
some fabric glue or any glue that is strong enough.
Go ahead and just apply some right down the middle.
And then I'm gonna put mine right here
on the shoulder part, press it down
ad then that is your first butterfly.
And then I think I'm gonna place this one
along the collar area as well.
And then if you did have the pin on butterflies, of course
all you would have to do is just pin them right on.
But this was just for the people that do not have those
at home because I'm pretty sure those are not a very easy
thing to just find around your house.
All right, everyone, so we have just completed the top
and it's time to move on to her pants.
The cool thing about making this part of the costume
is that it literally only requires
two things which are some black jogging pants
and some duct tape.
One thing that I noticed about Julie's pants
is that she has a bit of a square shape going on
with the white pattern on her pants.
What you're gonna do is you're gonna grab
your right leg pant and then kind of figure out
where you wanna place your duct tape
so that you can get the right pattern going on.
It's plain from the waistline to about the crotch area.
And then everything from here down starts to turn
a little bit white.
So what you're gonna do is you're gonna grab your duck tape.
The white starts right below the crotch area.
So I'm gonna put this piece of duct tape right here
and then kind of (grunts),
make sure you have lots of muscles for this.
And then grab some scissors and cut off the remainder.
What you're gonna wanna do is repeat this process
on the sides and the bottom right here,
but do not continue that process all the way
to the bottom of the pant,
just to about the knee or a little bit below the knee.
So once again, grab your duct tape,
connect this first piece to the last white piece right here
and then maybe end about right there, pat down,
grab your scissors and then cut off the remainder
of the tape.
Now, just repeat this on the other side.
Now you should have something that looks
a bit similar to this.
She does have a lot of rectangular type of patterns
going on with the white and what I really like
about creating the pants part of the costume
is that you can really freehand it,
make lots of patterns and try to resemble her pants
as best as possible, but I'm also just
gonna have some fun with it.
There is a bit of a diagonal pattern going on
with her white and I'm gonna try to do that.
So I'm gonna start at the waistline, the left waistline
and then kind of bring it down to meet her crotch area.
And then I think I'm gonna repeat that step
just one more time so that I can make that section
a bit fuller, and then after that, I'm just gonna play
with the rest of the pant and then we'll be done.
Okay guys, so that took a lot of patience,
but I finally finished the pants
and I'm actually really happy with how they came out.
I have a little bit of detailing around the ankle
and then I have some on the waist coming inward.
And then over here, I kind of have the whole leg
with this rectangular kind of pattern.
I tried to resemble her pants look as much as possible,
but then I also kind of had some fun with it.
Wanted to be a little bit creative, okay?
Before I show you guys this completely finished look,
I do still have to add the butterfly hair clips
because I feel like that would just completely
bring the whole outfit together.
So I have this blue one right here.
I'm just gonna clip it right into my ponytail.
These are so cute.
Kind of put them anywhere, everywhere.
Right here.
And now everyone, I present to you,
the "Julie and the Phantoms" Halloween costume.
