Who would have thought that you can use condoms to cosplay as Shang-Ci? Cha was clearly successful in doing it because he can create amazing effects of Chang-Ci powers using condoms. You can recreate his work, just make sure you use new condoms, of course.
2. I Am Venom, with a Bra
We don’t know exactly whose bra and panty he used to cosplay as Venom, but seeing how amazing the result was, we really don’t care. This low cost cosplay guy used the bra as the eyes and panties and the head cover.
Then, he used lots and lots of white cotton buds to create the teeth.
2. Captain America with a Ducktape
Cosplaying Captain America turns out to be super easy for Cha. He just grabbed a blue wig, a clear duck tape, and then the letter A made of art paper. Creatively, he used a rubber watch to create a chin cover. How creative was that?
4. Morticia Adams and The Black Cat
This is practically a zero-cost cosplay idea because Cha only utilizes his black cat as the costume. However, if you’re interested to recreate this look, get yourself a black long hair wig and put on a pale makeup to look like Morticia Adams.
5. Cruella and the Cats
When Char saw his black and white cats lying around the house, we think he immediately got the idea to use them as a Cruella costume, don’t you think? It turned out to be hilarious, so if you have a black and white cat at home, you can cosplay as Cruella, too!

6. Chips-inspired Naruto
This is probably one of the earliest works of Cha, and he was using chips to cosplay as Naruto. As for the headband, he created it himself, which you can easily create one for yourself, too.
Also, make sure you include the packaging of the chips as part of your costume too. Hilarious!
7. The “Healthy” Senku
If you have cabbages laying around on your kitchen table, you can copy what Cha was doing. Yes, you can cosplay as Senku and use cabbages as his hair! In our opinion, the colors of the cabbages look exactly like Senku’s hair.

Cha is a low cost cosplay guy who can use simply anything as cosplay materials. As for this one, he was using white cable plugs to cosplay as Natsuki Subaru. The white cables are used as the hair, and the power button as the left eye.
Put some makeup on for a dramatic effect to complete the look. Brilliant!
9. Used Toothbrush Creates Satoru Gojo
Here we have one of the most brilliant budget-friendly cosplay ideas created by the famous low cost cosplay guy. Cha was using a single black toothbrush to cosplay as Satoru Gojo. The brush creates the hair, and the stick becomes the eye cover.
This is a photo illusion that came from a brilliant cosplay idea.
10. Simple and Effective Shanks Cosplay Idea
One of the most iconic things about Shanks is the scar on his face, and the red hair of course. Well, Cha was pretty creative about the scar because he asked his cat to create that scar on his face. Then, he dyed his hair red for the final touch using a red hair color product.
