Cosplay can get expensive, especially if you're taking it seriously and regularly trying out new ideas. So take it from Anucha “Cha” Saengchart. The Internet's beloved cosplay enthusiast and the creator behind "Lowcost Cosplay" is back at it again to remind us that it's possible to transform into someone else on a shoestring budget. All it takes is creativity.
From a bootleg Joker to Billie Eilish straight out of a VOGUE cover, Saengchart is sure to inspire you with his out-of-the-box use of everyday items. No wonder he has over 5M followers! When you're done scrolling through this post, you can find more of his ingenious cosplay on our previous articles here, here, here, and here.

I love how he recognizes color schemes and shapes in random objects that just totally match (no pun intended) whatever he wants to portray!
That is some serious creativity right there. I love how he even replicated the colours of the Joker's iconic makeup using every park of the match.
Lol won't be smiling if one of the matches ignite...genius but dangerous
Saengchart's cosplay and the fan army it has earned him is even more impressive when you consider his competition. From buying their outfits at stores to commissioning artists to create one-of-a-kind costumes, it's common for people to spend up to a couple thousand dollars on a single look.
Which shouldn't come as a surprise when you consider that people paid an estimated $17.8 billion for costumes and wigs alone in 2017, and the global industry is said to be worth at least $45 billion dollars and growing at a rate of 15% each year.So in a game where some think that big bucks mean big attention, Saengchart is living proof that the opposite is (also) true.
“If you become creative and properly use your imagination, you can use anything that makes you happy to cosplay,” Saengchart said in an interview.
How the hell did that guy get a cat to stay still? Witchcraft with a capital "W"!
Man, talk about your camel toe... that's a whole elephant right there... inside a chicken.
i can't for the life of me figure out what position his arms could be in to produce that effect.
Damn! That's exact, including that nasty skin part left over when they chop off the head. Not to mention that's one stretchy turtleneck.
I love the use of the cats! I'm curious if they're all his or does he borrow from neighbors, friends, family. "Hey man, I need to borrow your cat today?" "And what is your crazy plan this time? Sign the NDR & 'Authorization for Release first". You know the drill."
He must also work as a cat whisper in his spare time, because those are some obedient cats.
...With the pissed nipples to prove it. So hilarious!!!

Hah hah, what an excellent use of mini bananas for hair. His mildly "shocked" facial expression it great.
That is an entirely new level of dedication right there. These are so incredibly bizarre, but I love the creativity behind each of these cosplays.
This is some effort.... this one looks a lot herder to do than most of the other ones lol
Ya, and the insensible need to pop them with a pin - I know it's mean I would never do it but it's one of those obtrusive thoughts
Load More Replies...if there weren't preparation photos there is no way I would guess that the belly button was used as a poisoned apple
LOL there's a d**k on his hairband. Hahaha and an umbilical apple hohihi
Since when does Snow White have a mustache? Whatever he used for the hair and eyebrows I love.
Come on guys, upvote @Full Name because their comment is as brilliant as this guy's cosplay!
I have a few ideas for all those wondering how he can breathe and how he'll get the tape off without it hurting like hell. One is that he has actually used the tape to make a helmet/headpiece that doesn't actually cover his face. As he is facing away from the camera in the final shot, you can't see any evidence that he kept the tape from the setup shots on his face. Two is that there is a very easy way to remove the tape (which is packing tape, not duct or Gaffa tape) and that is to soak it off in a warm bath.
I hope he didn’t out tape on hair balls it’s painful to take it off 😬
I mean if you wanted to do running you would probably ho past the speed limit, how the f***k do the police not see sonic - > -
They only thing they saw was a blue blur.
Load More Replies...It's very good. But there is some photoshop (like the spike in the hair is retouched) But good for him! Lots of imagination and talent!
That is one patient cat. Any other cat I know who claw your eyes out.
This is his fourth cat! how many kitties does he have? So far he used a black cat as a dress, a brown tabby's nose as an owl, a silver tabby as the Cheshire cat, and now this white one... Is he collecting one of every colour like I was trying to do?
How does he come up with all of these interpretations? That is one creative mind!
Damn, how many dozen different cats does this dude have sitting around the house?
I do believe he has a collection of cats (otherwise known as a clowder). This is number 5. I hope he has a ginger, a grey, and a tortie; that's all he's basically missing so far.
For all those people who think condoms need to come in size Large... they have a LOT of stretch in them!
Whoever said condoms aren't "big enough" need to gets that checked out lol
That cat looks like he's already included far more than he ever wanted to be 😂
Load More Replies...Now we all know that wonderful cat didn't actually scratch him like that. Good effect though!
I have seen a lot involving cats, and all of them are different. How many cats does this guy have?! *jealous of kittahs*
I respect the way your spent your virus lock down. I know you wore a mask.
But if we stay home and social distance, we can fight it ;)
Load More Replies...If you look at all his cosplay, you'll see a definite trend with the d***s lol
Yeah. It's not often that they can be an inspiration.
Load More Replies...This is descrimination against the other power puff girls, they deserve to be luved too 😂😭
it's from a music video. he basically just dances around and eats food.
Load More Replies...Am I the only one who thinks the jacket looks like a straight jacket? Due to how it's not flat on his back and looks like straps?
Crikey did you tie something round you belly to do that? So clever of you
They're almost more like candy than a pastry. Very thick glaze.
Load More Replies...He really loves using that belly. Does that mean the cats are used less?
Sometimes the other Panda's comments are as good as the picture.
Load More Replies...I'm sad to say I actually thought the one on the left was a galaxy for a couple seconds...
ok, someone above counter five cats. this puffy white fellow makes six. The others I saw: black, tabby (brown), short-haired white, tabby (silver) and a black-and-white one (mostly black with a patch of white)
I don't recall seeing a black n white one. I think there's only one white fluffy one.
Load More Replies...Yeah, it's the Colossus Titan from Attack on Titan
Load More Replies...I want to poke that belly to see if Pikachu giggles like the Pillsbury Dough Boy.
What show is this from? Those tails on a human make me very curious & eager.
There is no body shaming this fella, that's for damn sure. He doesn't give a flying f**k. He's an absolute creative genius.
With all the stuff that is going on in the world at this time, this was such a welcome laugh. I love this guy- his stuff is so bizzare, yet so amazingly creative at the same time. I really wonder how he comes up with half his ideas. I also love how he's so in touch with his body.
This guy is hilarious and he somehow gets his cats to play along with him too.
Cats that are used to being handled a lot and trust their humans will cooperate with whatever you come up with. A tomcat I had was in need of stitches on his belly after a bad encounter with barbed wire. The vet was about to hand me some very big and heavy gloves for protection when I stopped him. "That will not be needed. He knows that I am the leader and he trusts me". Some local anesthesia, a few stitches and we are ready to go when I realize that the vet is staring at the yellow striped cat and I saw that his lips were forming "strange cat".
Load More Replies...One of those cases were it is sooooo bad, that it is awesome. Love this.
The man is an absolute genius! The effort he puts in on all those costumes and praise to his forgiving patient kitties.
