Happy Earth Day! These three are my most sustainable/eco-friendly/zero-waste coplays! What's your favorite way to keep your cosplays from harming the planet?

Mulan - All this entire cosplay was made from my stash of materials! All the fabrics, the foam for the sword (not pictured), lining, thread, and interfacing were things I did not purchase new. Only new thing was the fan. Plus the shoes are form my normal wardrobe.

Pekoe - All the fabrics were things from my stash! Plus the elastic on the hairbuns was elastic I salvaged from my every day life. Reused the fan from my Mulan 😉

Buttercup - Green fabric was leftovers from my Gardevoir cosplay as I decided to buy my fabric before I made my mockup, lessened learned 😋. Shoes are from my normal wardrobe and I used the tights from my Gardevoir cosplay

Happy 5th anniversary to Animal Crossing New Horizons! As you can guess, Pekoe is my favorite villager, who's yours? Also fun fact, this cosplay is completely made of fabrics from my stash. Eco-friendly cosplay is the way to go!
