Coolest Homemade Wonder Woman Costume Ideas

I had thought to hire my Wonder woman costume but got inspired to make my own after being disappointed at what was on offer at various local costume stores. I had much more fun putting the whole look together in the end.

Boots

I already had a pair of red boots so I just put white insulation tape over the centre of the boot and on the top edges.

Shorts

I found this blue pair of gym shorts at Supre which was the perfect colour and my friend Denise gave me some iron on transfer paper (which irons on clear). So I just cut out some stars from white material a couple of millimeters smaller than a star cut out from the transfer paper.

I put the white material star onto the shorts the iron on transfer cut out star on top and ironed the paper until it changed colour. Upon lifting it off carefully the star was bonded to the shorts.

Be careful when you do this else the iron on transfer shrivels due to too much heat!

Wonder Woman Costume

Top

I also found this red tube top at Supre and I bought some vinyl (you know the kind for flooring – bendable but firm with a sticky side) and cut out the WW insignia and spray painted them a metallic gold. I put the WW insignia on last when I was already wearing my Wonder woman costume. You just peel the sticky backing and pop it on the top. So judge your positioning in a mirror.

Belt

My friend Jessica had some spare thin gold material which I just folded down to the size of the belt I wanted. Then, I sewed an edge to keep it together and added some hooks and eyes to the suit my shape on where I wanted it to sit so it would clip together well.

Gauntlets

More vinyl this time a triangle-type shape which I then measured around my wrist and cut off excess to make a reasonably clean cuff. Then, spray paint them gold.

After they were thoroughly touch dry I peeled the sticky back off and placed the vinyl on some material for comfort. Simple yellow ribbon threaded through some cut holes/ slits at the back of the cuff close to the edge meant I could get my hand in and out of the gauntlets while still maintaining their shape.

Wonder Woman Costume

Earrings

In order to make the earrings, use red star beads from the Bead Company hot glue gunned onto an earring base.

Tiara

Vinyl again this time cut to half circle my head and in the shape that WW has now of the dual sharp points. Then, red star bead in the center secured with regular super glue. If extra glue drips on the tiara, just paint with a brush and some gold paint to cover glue stain.

I then cut two small holes on either end and threaded a stretchy band between them so it would sit on my head in the right place comfortably. I used various pictures of Wonder Woman from the current Warner Bros television cartoon show Justice League as my inspiration and I did little bits of the costume every day for about a week so that I had time to let the paint dry etc. Altogether I would say the whole thing would have taken a couple of hours.

Princess Diana of Themyscira Wonder Woman Costume

Wonder Woman costume by Jessica W., Crystal City, MO

Wonder Woman Costume

After visiting a theme park and meeting an actress dressed like Wonder Woman, my kindergartener fell in awe. We looked in the gift shop but the costume was $45. I promised her we’d spend the next day at the craft store and make her an even better Wonder Woman costume.

The top is a simple red tank top with gold ribbon sewn on in a ‘W’ pattern. I used foam board to make the stars on her skirt, her bullet proof cuffs, her belt, her boot covers and her crown. I found a red scrap off of the clearance fabric rack that we used for her cape. A little bit of gold trim makes a perfect truth lasso.

Now all I have to worry about is our household cat being forced to tell the truth about who knocked over the houseplant!

Cool Homemade Wonder Woman Costume

Wonder Woman costume by Sue W.

Wonder Woman Costume

I love fancy dress and have always wanted to dress up in a Wonder Woman costume! The photos show the finished costume that I made to wear to a friend’s 40th birthday party.

I bought all the items separately, mostly from eBay. I made all the gold accessories such as the headdress, the cuffs, the belt and the eagle on the corset from a child’s gold PVC jacket.

In order to make the cape, I used a large American flag with two panels of red satin sewn to the sides. And then decorated it in gold, white and silver fabric stars.

The blue knickers were decorated with white stars of varying sizes at the front and back.

I made a ‘truth’ rope from shiny gold braid and attached it to the belt with more gold PVC with a red stick-on-jeweled star as a decoration.

In addition, the headdress and cuffs were also decorated with glittery gold/red stars.

I was thrilled with the final result. I may not have the figure of Linda Carter but I truly felt like a super heroine on the night! Hope you like it!

Just Call me Diana Prince

Wonder Woman costume by Dawnetta H., Barnhart, MO

Wonder Woman Costume

This costume was so easy to create. The basic items needed are a blue skirt or shorts and a red tank top.

In addition, I also used a black wig, red and gold spray paint, white fabric and white duck tape, manila folders, sticky Velcro, boots, a belt and gold cording.

I went to Goodwill and got a blue skirt and a pair of black boots for the costume. Then, I cut out white stars and sewed them on the skirt and spray-painted the boots red. It took several coats, so start early.

After they dried I put white duct tape around the top and down the middle of the boots to make the strips.

I cut out a crown and cuffs from the manila folders, but any heavy cardboard would do. Then I spray-painted them gold.

In order to make the cuffs stick together, I used Velcro. Then I stapled the crown to fit my head.

After that I made a stencil for my shirt, spray-painted it and my belt gold and at the end, put it all together.

Finally, the most expensive item for this costume was the wig.
