As always since Hopper is a children’s character, we will be doing things different today and listing both children’s costuming resources and adult costuming resources since cosplay is all about fun! By all means if this is a Halloween costume or something for your child don’t feel the need to go all out with everything listed, but keep in mind their will be plus size, standard, and for this post child resources on here. This is specifically for my version of Hopper from book 1, Hopper and the Magic Gems. So if Hopper ever gets a redesign, or an alternate via another adaption of my work, know that this is for the book version! Art from Hopper and The Magic Gems which you can buy here, here(itch.io), here (ko-fi download), or here (tspring) Everywhere the ebook is 5$. Art by Chewubi on Deviantart. Let’s go! For starters his hair! As always any good wig is going to be a minim of 30$ however if it's for an child you'll want either a children's wig which unless bought from specific stores is going to be pricey, or you'll want an asian sized wig, which can be found a variety of sellers. This is because while still a little big the size of the wig will be made for smaller heads. However I do suggest looking for a children's wig store or having something custom done, either that or just spraying it blonde with some add on hair dye. Thus because it is so hard to track down children's wigs (I tried) I will only be listing adult wigs for this section. $18 Blonde Pixie Wig [Amazon] (Quality Review) $28 Aion [Epic Cosplay Wigs] (recommended) $30 Apollo [Epic Cosplay Wigs] $30 Hermes [Epic Cosplay Wigs] $30 Butterscotch [Epic Cosplay Wigs] How to Curl your wigs (Video) [cc] 5 Basic Tips of Wig Styling (Video) [cc] 707 Wig Tutorial (Video) [cc] Guide to Buying Wigs on Ebay (Video) His ears Bunny Ears Tutorial (Video) [cc] Easy No Sew Animal Ears for Cosplay (Video) [cc] Cosplay Animal Ear Tutorial (Video) DIY Floppy Bunny Ears on a Headband (Video) His shirt: Jacket/Layer $7 Boys Kangeroo Pocket Jacket (Kids) [Shein] $7 Girls Light Jacket (Kids) [SHEIN] $16 Mens Light Blue Hoodie [AMAZON] $17 Boys EcoSmart Hoodie [AMAZON] $21 Mens Fleece Zip Hoodie [AMAZON] $22 Womens Breathable Insulated Jacket [AMAZON] $23 Womens Light Weight Breathable Hood (Up to 3xl) $24 Womens Plus Size Open Pullover [AMAZON] (plus size) Yellow Shirt $3 Clothing Shop Vneck T [Clothing Shop] $7 Juniors Vneck [Kohls] (kids) $8 Vneck yellow [Jiffy Shirts] $8 MENS CROIX Shirt [Wallmart] [cc] How to change a rounded shirt to a vneck (Video) How to cut a perfect vneck (video) Change a crewneck into a vneck faster method (Video) Necklace: Here is pretty simple.

This post was simply meant to recommend different materials and items, in a noninflammatory or derogatory manner that could work in cosplays of this character! I hope you enjoyed - Adam Snowflake

Jake Caloway Cosplay Tutorial!
This is for his canon design midway to late into the first book of the dreamers series. Note this cosplay is semi difficult to advanced. Your going to be sewing a lot of this. I wouldn't recommend this as your first cosplay! However, there are references and resources for beginners on this masterpost just in case you are filled with…DETERMINATION! His Hair $18 Short faded wig $20 Apollo Dark Red (Quality Review of a similar wig from the same seller) $30 Hansel Classic $30 Aiun Copper Red $31 Ancient Magnus Bride wig $47 Shein Wavy Lacefront (RECOMMENDED) $60 Lacefront Red (needs styling) $63 Lacefront Curly Red (needs styling) $73 Lacefront Ginger Red How to curl a wig 4 methods (video) How to recurl a wig no heat!

Devil Inspired (review here) and Soufflesong (review here) are both really good quality for this and offer “custom sizes” which you’ll need if your not a size two or plus size like Jake is canonically in this design. His shoes This will probably be the hardest part of the cosplay. I don’t know what to tell you here but I tried. $10 (wish) (quality review) Lace up boots [cc] How to Make Cosplay Boot Covers (video) Making shoes for the first time? Try this (video) Modifying Boots and Making shoe paint How to make shoes (diy from scratch) $55 Dolls kill Laced up Shoes (recommended) $89 Combat Black boots And that’s it! GOOD LUCK! The art for Jake is milight though it’s important to note that Jake canonicly is plus sized. The body type doesn’t matter in cosplaying, I’m saying cus even though this design is canon, it can be misleading as to what Jake canonicly looks like regarding figure. |
