How to Make Cosplay Without Sewing

Method 1 of 3:

Don't choose a character with tons of different patterns or weird articles of clothing that you know you won't be able to find in a store
Choose a bunch of characters you like then go to your mall or Walmart to see if they have similar things to the characters clothes. Example:
1. If you're cosplaying as Hatsune Miku, you could cut off the sleeves to a grey dress shirt
2. If you go as Nazzy (ed edd n eddy) it's as simple as a black shirt, white tank top, and baggy jeans
3. If you go as a humanized pony it's as simple as picking out clothes with the same colour as your character.
Don't be alarmed if you don't have similar hair as the character, wigs aren't that expensive.

Method 2 of 3:

Now it's time to shop for clothes!

Write down the amount of money you want and have to spend. You don't want to be broke over one costume.
Even if the piece of clothing doesn't look exactly like the character's then it's alright, buy it and make adjustments to it when you get home.
Bring a picture of the character with you so you know the length, shape, and colour of the clothes.
If you're having trouble looking for the clothes, don't be scared to ask for help looking for it.

Method 3 of 3:

Do not use glue when you add things to your costume, use a needle and thread to sew it on.
1. Use glue if its impossible to sew it on, but use a hot glue gun.
When cutting off chunks of the clothes, make sure to get a friend or family member to sew the ends so it doesn't fray.
Do not use paper or plastic (Unless that's what you want the character to have) when adding things onto the clothing, use fabric or ribbon.
If you don't have all the parts for your costume then it's OK to buy a piece of the clothing from online.
