  Step 1

  FOR THE BODY SUIT:

  black strapless leotard
  green thread/needle
  leaves

• Step 2

  Hand sew leaves onto the body suit

  *If you do it by machine the leotard won't be able to stretch

  *Closely together to avoid gapping

  *You'll have to go back and fill in gaps later

  *Try it on first so you don't go too low - it'll itch if you do.

  ***Glue most likely won't hold as well, so only do if you're planning on not wearing it long or for gaps, like I did.

• 

  Step 3

  This will take forever, I highly suggest partially pawning it off on willing friends/family or doing it while watching T.V.

• 

  Step 4

  For the shoes (if not green):

  *cheap shoes with a cute shape
  (Mine were a purple gold snakeskin monstrosity from goodwill)

  *Tape

  *Plastic Wrap

  *Red and Green paint

  *Newspaper

• 

  Step 5

  Set up newspaper outside to paint on.

  Tape area of your shoes you don't want painted, I wanted my bottoms red (it makes me feel fancy haha)

  Fill your shoes with crumbled up newspaper so they don't get painted

  Spray paint greeen

• 

  Step 6

  If you want the bottoms red:

  Wait till green paint dries

  Tape plastic wrap over the green to avoid getting as much red on it.

  Spray paint red and lean on something to dry

  *You risk altering the shade of green on the shoes, but I think it looks better with the different shades

• Step 7

  Go over any Red that permeated your barrier by

  A) Spraying shoes again

  OR

  B) spraying large amounts of green spray paint onto a magazine, then using a paint brush to paint over the red spots

• 

  Step 8

  If you have elastic on your shoes like me, sew a large ivy leaf over it.

• Step 9

  For gloves:

  .5 yards of green fabric (just to be safe)

  small Ivy leaves

  Elastic thread

• Step 10

  Cut fabric into 2 equal pieces measuring from the base of your middle finger to wherever you want the glove to end

• Step 11

  Sew into a tube shape measuring around your forearm

  flip the tube inside out

  Hem the top of the glove

• 

  Step 12

  Tuck the unfinished edges near the wrist into a triangular shape. ^

  *The bottom of the glove will look like a V

  Stitch down raw edges.

• 

  Step 13

  Stitch an elastic ring to the tip of the triangle

  *this goes around the middle finger

• Step 14

  Take veins off of the fake leaves and glue onto gloves as you please

• Step 15

  For hair clip:

  *2 or 3 ivy leaves of different sizes

  *bobby pin

  *Hot glue

• 

  Step 16

  The is most likely self explanatory, buuuut:

  Glue the leaves to eachother in a pattern of your choice
  *Must overlap a bit

• 

  Step 17

  Glue this piece to the bobbby pin

  divide the two prongs after so they don't stay glued together

• Step 18

  Lips:
  
  1)Exfoliate lips
  2)apply chapstick
  3)apply lipstick
  4)blot
  5)Repeat 3 and 4 till you reach your desired shade

• Step 19

  Eyeshadow:
  I suggest following one of the wicked eyeshadow tutorials on here instead of taking my advice.

  All I can tell you is use green hahah

• Step 20

  Put it all together (with the tights) and you've finished this extremely long tutorial.

  Thank you for sticking with it if you did! c:
