Crafting the Perfect Sailor Mercury Fruit Maid Butt Bow

‍

Calling all cosplay enthusiasts and Sailor Moon fans! If you’re looking to add a unique twist to your Sailor Mercury cosplay, why not create a stunning Fruit Maid Butt Bow? Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you craft this fun and fruity accessory.

Materials You'll Need:

• Light blue fabric (for Sailor Mercury’s signature color)
• Assorted fake fruits (like strawberries, blueberries, and cherries)
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• Scissors
• Needle and thread (or a sewing machine)
• Ribbon
• Fabric stiffener (optional, for added structure)
• Safety pins or brooch backing (for attachment)

Step 1: Creating the Bow Base

Start by cutting two large rectangles from your light blue fabric. The size depends on how big you want your bow, but a good starting point is around 10 inches by 6 inches.

Fold each rectangle in half lengthwise and sew the edges together, leaving a small gap to turn the fabric right-side out. Once turned, sew the gap closed.

Step 2: Assembling the Bow

Lay one fabric piece on top of the other to form a cross. Pinch the center together and wrap it with a small piece of fabric to form the bow shape. Secure it with hot glue or by sewing it in place.

‍Step 3: Attaching the Ribbon

Cut a piece of ribbon long enough to tie around your waist or attach to your costume. Sew or glue the ribbon to the back of the bow. If you prefer, you can also attach a safety pin or brooch backing for easy attachment.

Step 5: Stiffening the Bow (Optional)

If you want your bow to have more structure, you can apply fabric stiffener according to the product instructions. This will help the bow maintain its shape.

Final Touches

Check all the attachments to make sure everything is secure. Try on your new Fruit Maid Butt Bow and make any necessary adjustments.
