With a selection of specific black clothing you can easily make your own homemade Black Canary costume. Here is a complete list of everything you will need to make your own homemade Black Canary costume from Arrow.
Black Canary Jacket

The first item of clothing you will need for this awesome costume is the Black Canary jacket.
You could use a similar woman’s black leather jacket or, if you are lucky, you may possibly find an exact replica of the jacket worn in Arrow. |
Black Canary Pants
 |
Keeping with the black clothing theme you will also need a pair of pants for this costume.
The best and easiest way to replicate the pants that the character wears is to buy a pair of black faux leather pants.
These pants should be tight fitting to your legs as they will have to be pushed into the boots you will be wearing. |
Black Canary Mask
 |
No Black Canary costume would ever be complete without the unique mask the character wears.
This is a black mask which has a very Batman and Robin style to it.
You will easily be able to find a perfect replica of this mask or at least something very similar. |
Black Canary Gloves
 |
You will need a pair of gloves for this costume.
Here you should be looking to use a pair of black fingerless gloves. You could use fingerless leather gloves or a pair of fingerless tactical gloves. Both will look fantastic when used for this costume. |
Black Canary Boots
 |
A pair of boots will be needed for this costume.
Here you should be looking to use a pair of flat soled knee high boots which will need to be black.
Ideally, you should be looking for a pair of black knee high boots which have buckle and straps just like the character in the Arrow TV show. |
Black Canary Gun Holster
 |
A very unique style of gun holster will be required for this costume.
This gun holster should be a dual drop leg holster which attaches to your belt and down your leg to hold it in place. As you would suspect this gun holster should be black. |
Black Canary Batton
 |
The weapon of choice for this character is a police style batton.
This should be black in color.
You can use a real police batton or a plastic prop of one. |
Black Canary Lipstick

The final part of making your own Black Canary costume is replicating her makeup.
For you to achieve this you will need a black lipstick which will perfectly replicate the style of the character in the Arrow TV show. |
