I've seen people make little hats that velcro around the chin for such things! Maybe you can make one out of fleece?

Maybe make a mock up and let her play with it and let her take interest in it on her own? Can also play peekaboo with her on it.. make it all a game~

Have you figured out how you are going to make it?

[kenkendazo]

I want to do something like this but am hoping that I chicken out before I get started on it.

I suppose there's a few options there, umm there's embroidery if you have the machine for it, iron on Patches that can be found on Etsy, there's also transfer paper or fabric.

Indeed, as a back up I have the embroidery materials, but I do it by hand so...^^;

Not a necklace, but I want to make a cane stick with the crown in it then make a lapel pin or a ring with the piece.

All ways are interesting. I just went with fabric paint >.>

[LoveInViolet]

I made the patches out of felt and stitched them on to my skirt. Lazy? A bit...

But now that I'm done, I'm getting tempted to make teenage Cheerilee too... But my poor hair!

Aw man, that would be really cool to see as well!

My Rarity and Fluttershy are just about done! I need to make a curl in the wig and the ponytail and get a skirt, which will I will probably get next month since I'll probably wear her for ACen. For Fluttershy, I just need to get brown skinny jeans and shoes to match. Here are some pictures:

Rarity

I took the picture before this happened, but I ended up cutting the long part on the left side of the wig shorter so it looks like she has most of her hair on the right side where the curl will be.

Fluttershy

I am very pleased with Fluttershy! I love the wig so much! I can't wait for both of these to be finished! I wanted to be more out of the box with these two because most people do dresses and for Rarity, I have not seen a ponytail done. I like to be different. lol

[Mari_Queen_of_Fools]

I'm starting to get really paranoid that my wig for Twilight isn't good enough

And also, Lina, I really like the little necklaces for the cutie marks.

Thanks! I love them! I love the earrings as well. I didn't want to put cutie marks on my clothes so I figured jewelry would be the next best thing. Etsy is an amazing place. lol

Mine are on my sweater. And shoes. Which I hadn't planned on having my shows shown at all, it was just for fun but now I've incorporated it.

you could try getting colored hair extensions and as long as your wearing purple they won't mistake you for a different pony

Well, my wig is the right colors. It's purple, purple and pink.
But the bangs are more swooshy and the pink goes through all the bangs instead of in that one streak. I know I'll still be recognizable, I just worry it's not good enough. D:

On a lighter note, I made a book prop!

[Iris]

That book prop is super cute!!

And I think your wig will be just fine. I actually like a bit of variety as opposed to the idea of everyone coming with the same wigs/costume designs/etc.

@ Cutie marks, unless something goes wrong my cutie mark will actually be on my leg/flank. XD

You're going as Dash right? So are you wearing shorts or something and then painting it on or something?
And thanks. I know it'll be fine I just worry too much about it.

[linlindesu]

I have the full outfit for Rarity besides the cutie mark ( swarsoki crystals o_o;; this is gonna take awhile.)
But just the wig, ears and glasses looks like so

Gala Dash, so it'll be an open front skirt. You'll probably be able to see it peeking out, or I can pull back the skirt a little to show it off for photos if asked. Very unlady-like so very Rainbow Dash. XD

I'm going to attempt to make/do a temporary tattoo for it so it doesn't smudge but worst case scenario I'll paint it on and find some way to try and give it a protective coat.

Ohhhh another Gala Dash!! Can't wait to see how yours turns out.

[LoveInViolet]

I think I'll give in to peer pressure and do Teen Cheerilee, and maybe make a Scootaloo costume for Bitties, unless anyone has a cuter idea, like, oh, Derpy!

A Derpy huh? How would one go about cosplaying Derpy??

That sounds really awesome. I like the idea of a temp tattoo. markers could work too and i think less smudgy but not as bright as paint. I hope you figure it out!

I'd just go with flats and then if you want to make it have that "gladiator" look, wrap some ribbon around your legs.

The same way everyone else is going about cosplaying all the other ponies. Blonde hair, grey clothing, some form of cutie mark... maybe a muffin or two. the only real issue with Derpy is that you can't do the eyes, though I'm sure someone has or will do something like painting the "derp" eyes on their eye lids
