"I think I've had a change of heart. Quite literally. The animal-plant toxins had a rather unique effect in me. They replaced my blood with aloe, my skin with chlorophyll, and filled my lips...with venom. Oh, and Jason, one other thing. I probably should have mentioned this earlier. I'm poison."
Poison Ivy is one of the stunning villains in the Batman universe. Normally she is featured wearing a green leaf covered leotard with green tights. For our high school purposes, we decided to change it to a leaf covered dress with green tights and a fitted green long sleeve underneath.
Supplies:
Tight fitting dress (preferably green but we worked with black)
A lot of fake leaves
Hot glue
1. First, we went thrift shopping for a tight fitting dress. We weren't able to find green, but we found black and we covered it in enough leaves that you can't even tell, so it's totally up to you and what you are able to find.
2. The next thing we did was glue leaves all over the dress using the hot glue. Start glueing along the bottom edge and work your way up the dress, making sure that all the leaves are facing the same direction to give the dress a smoother look. If you're glueing on a flat surface make sure to put something in between the front and back so the dress does not get glued together. You could also glue the leaves on while the dress is on the person or use a mannequin. This insures that leaves cover the entire dress while it is stretch over the body.
Note: if you glue the leaves on the dress on a flat surface, leaves may fall off when the person is wearing the dress because it is stretched on the person's body.
You can also take extra vines of green leaves and wrap them around your head to create a headband or around your wrist for bracelet. Add green eyeshadow and red lipstick to complete your look!
