A couple of years ago, images began circulating online showing a young man crafting cosplay outfits from everyday household items—bathroom products, junk food, bottles of all kinds, and plenty of tape. This legend of low-budget cosplay goes by the name Anucha "Cha" Saengchart, lives in Bangkok, and has more than three million followers on Facebook alone. Want to see some of his work?
Anyone stepping into the peculiar world of cosplay quickly learns two important lessons: it becomes expensive over time, and it demands a lot of sacrifice. Another critical aspect is that essentially all cosplayers must fight against the clock, because event dates approach at full speed, and it's very hard to have everything ready by then. However, the idea of cosplay is to enjoy, surprise, and sometimes make people laugh.
That's the path Anucha follows with his project "Low Cost Cosplay". If you think it's impossible to make cosplay using candy, fans, empty water bottles, or a tube of toothpaste, you need to see this gallery. And don't forget you can find his latest projects on his Facebook profile.
