[Pretty Cure Series] DIY Costume and Item Idea Collection (1–10)
Wonderful Pact “Wonderful Precure!”
Pretty Cure transformation items are often sparkly and adorned with heart-shaped parts, right? They’re packed with all the things kids who love Pretty Cure adore.
For those who feel the official toys are a bit pricey, here’s a recommended handmade transforming item.
Let’s make the Wonderful Pact from Wonderful Precure!, the first series where a dog becomes a Precure.
Prepare a compact mirror with an LED light that makes the frame glow—these can even be found at 100-yen shops.
Use a hot glue gun to attach felt to the compact mirror and add ribbons.
Finish by decorating it with puffy or flat heart and ribbon stickers, and you’re done!
Kirakira Light: “You and Idol Precure♪”
Anime with idols as the theme are popular with kids, right? Naturally, a Pretty Cure series themed around idols is also popular, especially among children.
And when it comes to idol lives or concerts, a penlight is an absolute must-have.
Of course, KimiPuri has penlights, too.
In fact, you can make a KimiPuri-style penlight using items from the 100-yen shop.
Just attach a concert ribbon to a glowing heart light meant for live shows, and you’re done.
Feel free to decorate it with heart-shaped rhinestones or stickers to your liking.
Idol Heart Brooch “You and Idol Precure♪”
Let’s use resin to make a realistic Idol Heart Brooch from “You and Idol Precure.” The Idol Heart Brooch is the item the Precure use when they transform.
Pour resin into a heart-shaped mold with a donut-like hole in the center and let it cure.
In addition to the heart, make a ribbon out of resin, and create other parts with polymer clay.
Assemble the parts by gluing and decorating them as you like.
You’ll end up with a super cute keepsake.
Cure Idol: “You and Idol Precure♪”
Idols are really popular with children, aren’t they? I’ve heard that idols and singers rank high among the jobs kids want to do in the future.
The idol-themed “You and Idol Precure” is, of course, also very popular.
Among the characters, is the most popular one the protagonist, Cure Idol? Her poppy, energetic, and cheerful vibe—very fitting for Cure Idol—really comes through in her costume.
If you make the costume by hand, it’s great because you can tailor it to your child’s size.
Once the outfit is finished, be sure to host a live show at home!
Cure Wink: “You and Idol Precure♪”
Cure Wink is also popular with children who like blue and light blue.
The gentle, piano-talented, and smart Nana Aokaze transforms into Cure Wink.
Her outfit features a light blue color scheme that conveys the refined elegance of a model student idol.
As her name suggests, winking is the signature gesture of her fan service.
If you add hair extensions sold at 100-yen shops to the costume and hair, it will further enhance the vibe.
Once you put on the costume, hosting a live show at home and doing fan service would be a lot of fun.
Cure Kyun-Kyun: “You and Idol Precure♪”
Kyun-Kyun Cure’s Kokoro Shiu is a girl one year younger than the protagonist, Uta Sakura.
She’s good at dancing and harbors a fiery passion in her heart.
Let’s put on a costume and fully become Kyun-Kyun Cure.
A softly flared skirt on the bottom will make it easy to move, just like the dance-skilled Kyun-Kyun.
The heart detail on the chest, a key point of the outfit, is also stylish.
Adding a rattly, shaker-style heart piece will make it even more charming.
You can even make the parts using items sold at 100-yen shops, so give it a try.
Handmade costumes can be tricky, but kids are sure to love them.
Friendly Tact “Wonderful Precure!”
“Wonderful Precure!” drew attention because the family’s beloved pet dog became a Precure.
One reason for its popularity was how cute the transformed dog Precure was.
Of course, the items used in the story were all adorable, too.
So, let’s try making the Friendly Tact used by Cure Wonderful and Cure Friendly.
By using resin, you can make the parts in your preferred colors and shapes.
While crafting each part takes time, why not try making it together with your child? Creating your favorite Precure items by hand is sure to become a wonderful memory.
