Make this DIY 'The Fifth Element' Leeloo costume with stuff you probably already have

If you’re a fan of 1997’s The Fifth Element, you’ve probably fantasized about what it would be like to walk in the shoes of your favorite supreme being, Leeloo Dallas.

In episode two of “DIY Costume Squad,”  experienced cosplayer Claire Max will show you how to transform things you have around the house, thrift store finds and inexpensive craft items into an epic Leeloo costume, complete with iconic orange suspenders, and of course, the multipass. With a little imagination, you’ll be surprised at how easily you can upcycle unused items from the depths of your closet.
