Make your own Mortal Kombat Sub-Zero costume straight out of the game. Sub-Zero is a mysterious assassin from the Mortal Kombat series who has the ability to control ice. He appears as two separate characters; following his death in the first installment of the game, he is replaced as Sub-Zero by his younger brother in Mortal Kombat 2. However, both appear as optional characters in later versions of the video game. In the first Mortal Kombat, Sub-Zero's costume consists of black and blue ninja gear. If you plan to dress as Sub-Zero for your next costume party, making your own outfit can be a fairly inexpensive and simple project to undertake.Difficulty:Moderately EasyScissorsBlack hooded sweatshirtBlue fabricBlack sash or ropeBlack sweatpantsBlack tennis shoesBlack ski mask1 Cut the sleeves off a black hooded sweatshirt with a pair of scissors; this should leave you with an entirely sleeveless sweatshirt. Set the scraps aside for later use.
2Fold your blue piece of fabric in half and outline a V shape; the length of this piece should start at your shoulders and end midway between your thighs. Trace the shape so the wide part of the V begins at the folded crease. The bottom of the V should be flattened, as if you were making a large block letter. Cut this shape out, and then add a deep V-shaped hole for your head to fit through; this opening should lead all the way down to almost waist level, getting gradually narrower. Wear this on top of the black sleeveless sweatshirt, and tie it at the waist using a piece of black sash or rope.
3Use the remaining blue fabric to create kneepads that cover the entire area from the knee down on the front of your sweatpants. Either glue these pieces on or use a needle and thread to hand-sew them.
4Use the sweatshirt sleeve scraps to create wrist guards. Cut thumb holes in the ends of each sleeve, and remove the portion of fabric from the elbow up so only your forearms will be covered.
5Attach a piece of blue fabric across of the mouth of your ski mask using glue or a needle and thread. Add nostril holes if the mask doesn't already have them to ensure easy breathing during wear.
6Put all of the components together. Wear the sweatpants as your bottoms with black tennis shoes. Wear the sleeve portions over your forearms with the sleeveless hooded sweatshirt to cover your torso, the ski mask to cover your face, the hooded portion of the sweatshirt over the back of the ski mask, and the blue sash to be tied with the sash on top of everything.
