Creating a Harley Quinn Costume: A DIY Guide

We began by taking an old pair of shorts that fit well and folding them in half along their natural seam lines to create a template. We then traced the shape onto a piece of paper, repeating this process for both the front and back halves of our shorts. Drawing a line about 1/4 inch out from our template allowed us to account for steam allowance when cutting out the fabric. Using shiny blue and red spandex, we cut out two front and back pieces in each color, ensuring that we had left sides as well. We flipped our template around to obtain both left and right sides and placed the good sides together for both the front and back pieces.

We sewed up the middle of each piece, creating a single front and back piece that were half blue and half red. Once complete, we flipped our shorts inside out and found that we had successfully created a pair of shorts. Feel free to add a hemline around the top and legs as you see fit for Harley's iconic look. For her choker, we started with a nude white or clear belt, cutting it to an amount long enough to fit around your neck. We attached the two ends together using velcro for the letters, handwriting out the word "pudding" onto some foam, ensuring that they were the correct height.

We spray-painted our foam letters gold, adding a final touch to our costume. To complete our makeup look, we started with white cream face paint and sponged it all over our face, setting it with a light powder for an even finish. We then applied bright pink and blue eyeshadow, blending it messily around the eyes and down on the side of our face. A black eyeliner was used under the eyes to create a dramatic look, finishing off our eye makeup with some mascara.

A red lip and a black heart added to our overall aesthetic, while our arm costume featured a simple stencil made from cutting out diamonds on a strip of card and painting them in with blue and red face paint. We used eyeliner to draw Harley designs on our legs, including words like "pudding" and adding some diamonds and hearts for extra flair.

To complete our look, we added a pair of fishnet tights, ripping a couple of holes in them to give it an edgy feel. Our wrist cuffs and gloves were already part of our collection, but we did add some studed bracelets that we had previously owned from Top Shop. Finally, we attached our PUD choker, put on our shoes, wig, and bat, and our Harley Quinn costume was complete.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhi guys my name is Kelsey and my name is Becky and we're the star girls and today we have another Halloween tutorial for you of course we do of course we do this is another hugely requested one this year so of course we had to do it it's beened like every year it has been and all the other years like this new movie hadn't come about so trying to do her old costume which was like a full-on latex bodysuit would have been impossible or like very hard so we're super excited that suicide squad's coming out and we're doing the costume from that movie coming out next year but we've heard a lot about it because it was filmed in Toronto which is where we are so very exciting yes just like we said the movie isn't out yet so we're just basing this costume off a couple pictures plus a trailer so that's what we got to go on and this is only our second Halloween costume of 2015 we have lots from the other 5 years that we've been on YouTube and we have lots more coming so make sure you subscribe for more Halloween costume ideas and we hope you guys enjoy to make this Harley Quinn costume we started with the shirt you'll need a plain white long sleeve shirt cut off the neckline hem as well as the arms right below the elbow and some off the bottom to make it a little bit shorter next we're taping off the areas that we want to be red this will be about 4 in down from the top as well as two bands around each arm we used a regular Sharpie to fill in the armbands and for the top we'll be creating a dip dyed effect using this red fabric dye wrap the bottom half of your shirt up in plastic bag to keep it as white as possible dip the top half of your shirt into the dye up until your tape line leave it in for a couple of minutes and then take your shirt out and rinse it off once it's all dry it should look like this our dye didn't match our shiry perfectly but we think that adds to the worn in effect of the shirt next using some ironon transfer paper print out her daddy's little Monster logo and we'll have a link for this in the description make sure you're printing it out in Reverse cut it out and iron it onto the shirt according to the directions of your paper and when it's all done it'll look like this for her glove we took a regular driving glove from the thrift store and cut the fingertips off you using this shiny blue and red spandex we cut out pieces to fit over various parts of the glove and glued them on top for her hair we'll be using a light blonde wig tied into two pigtails we're using this blonde wig we already had from our Daenerys and Elsa costume videos make sure you check those out as well we're not sure if the pigment will end up staining but that's okay since this wig has been well loved by us we found this temporary hair dye stick that conveniently came in blue and pink color onto the ends of the pigtails working your way up about 2/3 of the way repeat this with the blue as well we also added hair ties to our wig using the fandex from our shorts for her bat we're using this plain wooden baseball bat either get one in a light wood or paint it white like we're doing next we're going to wrap the bottom part in some white tape next we cut three diamonds out of tape and place them around the bottom of your bat and add tape lines above and below color in the wood with red paint once that's dry tape off smaller diamond shapes inside of our white diamonds and paint them blue lastly tape off two bands on the outsides and paint these black to add the good night text to the bat first print out your words we'll have a link to this one below as well tape the words onto a sheet of vinyl and use an X-Acto Knife to cut out the letters stick your vinyl down onto the bat and don't forget to stick the middle of any letters like the O back in as well paint over your stencil with a red paint and then peel it off to make our lines sharper we traced the letters with a black Sharpie once the paint was dried and to add the writing on the bat we looked up some classic Harley quotes and phrases and wrote them in a jagged handwriting onto the bat we did some words in black as well as some in red we're not sure exactly what her bat does say in the film but we just kind of took inspiration from what we found online for her wrist accessories we're starting with this black sted belt from the thrift store cut a piece off about the size of your wrist and attach it together with a piece of velcro repeat this so that you have two for her belt we're taking this studded belt also from the thrift store and taking off the Buckle luckily ours came apart but you might have to cut yours open we're going to spray paint the Buckle gold since we took the Buckle off we are securing our belt back together with some velcro we're then attaching the Buckle onto the front of the belt and tilting it on an angle to create a diamond shape like Harley is in the film we're using a strong glue like E6000 to do this for her boots we lucked out big time by finding these athletic inspired heels from the thrift store you can use plain white heel boots instead as those may be easier to find we started by taping off parts of the boot that we didn't want to be black we left two stripes on the side plus a stripe all the way around the bottom and the top as well as the lace up holes P.S we ran out of tape and that's why there two different colors spray paint this black we then colored in the back of the heels with a red Sharpie to make Harley's shorts start with a pair of well-fitting shorts that we'll be using as our template this is way easier than describing measurements as this would be different for everyone fold your shorts in half along its natural seam lines and Trace the shape onto a piece of paper repeat this for both the front front and the back halves of your shorts draw a line about 1/4 in out from your template for steam allowance and then cut this out using some shiny blue and red spandex we cut out a front and back piece in each color don't forget to flip your template around too so that you have a left and a right side next place your good sides together
