A DIY Amy Rose costume is a red dress, a red hairband, a pink bob-shaped quill headpiece and a big Piko Piko hammer made from card. It is a bright, cheerful costume that goes well with a Sonic. It costs about $17 and takes about 90 minutes, with no sewing.

What you need

  • A red sleeveless dress, or a red top and skirt
  • A red headband
  • Pink felt or card for the quills
  • White wrist-length gloves, and red boots or red shoes with a white stripe
  • White felt for the hem stripes, petticoat edge and boot cuffs
  • A cardboard tube or rolled card for the hammer handle
  • A large block of cardboard and red and yellow paint or markers for the hammer head
  • Glue, tape and scissors

How to make it

  1. 1

    Cut ten pointed quills from pink felt, each about 15 cm long, in a fan shape with two shorter at the sides.

  2. 2

    Glue the quills to a headband so they sweep down to the sides of your face like a short bob, with no spines pointing back. Let them dry flat.

  3. 3

    Cut two thin strips of white card or felt, about 1 cm wide, and glue them around the hem of the dress. Glue a band of white felt inside the hem so a petticoat edge peeks out.

  4. 4

    Wear white wrist-length gloves, or cut simple mitten shapes from white felt and glue the edges.

  5. 5

    Cut white felt cuffs about 4 cm wide and a thin white stripe for the centre of each boot, and glue them to red boots or shoes.

  6. 6

    Make the Piko Piko hammer head: cut two cardboard rectangles about 25 cm by 15 cm, glue back to back, and paint red with yellow trim. Check a photo before painting.

  7. 7

    Poke the handle tube into the head with tape and glue. Check it is stiff enough to hold.

  8. 8

    Put on the dress, the headpiece, the gloves and the red boots.

Make it better

  • Keep the pink quills soft and clearly pink. They mark the hedgehog.
  • Make the hammer light so you can carry it all evening.
  • Wear it next to a Sonic for an instant pair.
