Don’t throw away dried out foam clay!!! I was working with half of a container when I was suddenly called away & didn’t have time to put it back in the container. When I was able to get back to my project, a few days later, the foam clay had completely dried out. I cut it up into pieces to put back into the container, I poured in 1/8 cup of DISTILLED WATER, after a few days I checked it… It had softened, but needed a little more distilled water to make it pliable, worked out great! I did have to knead it well though
You prolly dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Cohen Jadiel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
One thing I just noticed is that foam clay can also be used for light sfx prosthetics, like demon horns or a mask that you'd naturally stick to the face. Liquid latex literally peals off it without disturbing the foam clay once it is dry. It's AMAZING! Using liquid or cream pros-aide also works to stick this to the face, and it doesn't damage the foam! It peels right off when you want to remove them. So this stuff is very universal! 10/10
I've started using foam clay for my first cosplay build and it is a lifesaver for making natural-looking textures and getting shaping right. I'd be lost without it.
She has a display fo everything you need for basic cosplay materials at michaels in Florida! I’m not sure about other places but huge clutch because I was there to get supplies for a cosplay I’m working on now!
At just one? Or multiple? I live near Wesley Chapel, and the Michael's near me actually closed and moved a while back... :( I never make the ride out there anymore because I have Hobby Lobby a few blocks away. But if Michael's has a Kamui section... I'll definitely make the ride! With my biggest backpack and tailbag lol (Typically riding a motorcycle stops me from buying too much stuff! ;D I can only carry so much.. but I go nuts at craft stores. Haha)
I'm currently making a snake mask with scales sculpted out of foam clay and this video really gave me some insight in how to continue with the project. I had problems with the foam clay scales cracking and tearing while test-fitting the mask but your video gave me confidence that i can prevent this with the right sealant! Thank you ^^
I discovered foam clay through your books and boy has it been a lifesaver! My friend recently commissioned me to make her a dagger the entire hilt is hand sculpted by me with foam clay. So much easier than the alternative of sanding everything into shape!
A fantastic intro to how these materials are actually used, THANK YOU!!!!! So many GREAT videos - the LED-intro (most people like me wonder for days in Amazon, trying to find the needed parts and technology), the smoker-intro (I know the big smoke units and use one in our Halloween party every year for low-lying smoke on the floor, but never knew about these smaller portable ones) and so many, many more!
Thank you so much! I'd been rather depressed looking for a good idea for a Renaissance Faire costume and I believe, with what I've learned about foam clay and eva foam thanks to your channel, I could create a living statue costume!
That was amazing as always, Miss Svetlana! Your passion for your art is incredible. Thank you for sharing this with us. Now I am super excited to find a project to sculpt with foam clay!
Hello, I am a follower of yours from Spain, I just wanted to thank you for how well you explain everything, thanks to you I have been able to do my first projects and gradually raising their level (which is not easy). I want to thank you for your free links to acquire many patterns. I have been hooked by all the star wars and I have been able to fulfill my dream and that of my son, making our own costumes. Thank you both for your channel. You are incredible creators
I super love using foam clay. I have used it on making props and accessories when polymer clay was a huge hobby trend here. It's still hard to get here in the Philippines and I hope that it gets more attention and demand so it would be easier to purchase. Thank you for doing this video Svetlana!
That kind of smooth foam clay is called "Silk clay" in Sweden, the "foam clay" version is made of tiny beads and a tar like goo. Works exactly the same, but has a very visible texture, of course. Might want to make sure you buy the right kind of clay :)
Coming from the future 👋 I absolutely love foam clay. I bought it on sale at Michael's for only $5 and the brand is by ArtMinds "Modeling Foam." Great to know it lasts a long time! I put mine into a thicker plastic bag and then returned it to the bucket. Used it for a project where I needed to make a staff look like tree bark. My staff is about to be primed, but it looks pretty convincing thanks to the foam-bark texture 😊
This was so useful! I have never worked with foam clay before until the other day and usually I just open new crafts and feel around for it until I understand how the material works and the foam clay really confused my brain! It's just a texture I'd never worked with. And today I'd planned to do tiny little things with it, so I'm thinking I might make tiny 'beads' and then once dry sculpt them into a pumpkin shape! I'm going to have another go now I actually understand how it works, thank you for this very helpful demo of all that you can do with it!
Foam clay is absolutely wonderful thing, I especially like how it can cover up any mistakes I do while cutting or dremmeling the foam. And now I see even more potential in it, thank you :D
Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️ You’re changing my life and I love everything you teach! Thank you for sharing something helps people be free to express themselves!
I’ve never built any cosplay, I’ve never worn any cosplay and I don’t really know any of the characters you build cosplay of! HOWEVER I’m here because the two of you are such amazing bundles of happy and fun energy that I can’t not watch you bring to life your amazing creations!
Hey I was walking through Michel's (a craft store) and I saw a display with eva foam. So I look up and there you are armored and looking good. That was pretty cool. Just had to say that. Your awsome!
I've had foam clay for a long time, but I had no idea it was THIS easy to use! I didn't know about shaping it with water to make it smooth or that it was easy to sand or that it would stick to EVA foam so well. This is a huge help for my crafting repertoire, thank you! EDIT: I've had Model Magic, which I am learning is not the same thing. Similar, but not as durable. Looks like I'm going to upgrade to foam clay because that stuff is amazing!
Some big congratulations the imagination and skill to reproduce the outfits and costumes to the intricate level that you make them is excellent and worthy of the highest praise. 😎🇦🇺🥳🥳🥳🥳👍
Its amazing what you can probably do with this product... I think one is only limited by ones imagination. Thanks for sharing your cool tips with us here in UA-cam... And I greatly appreciate that it's in English since mein deutsch ist nicht so gut
Remote control flying quad copters can be used for cosplay flying creatures and character devices . I built a lightweight orange foam gargoyle lizard covering with the quadcopter motors portruding from the top not very noticeable. I used thin clear packing tape to prevent it from breaking when bent or twisting .
Hi there. Great video as always. I just miss your puppies! I love your dogs. Thank you for showing us this it was truly inspiring. Take care and God bless.
Im not even a cosplayer but I'm just so facinated how Kamui brings things to life. What a brilliant artist. I follow on FB, but didn't know there was a UA-cam account :))
I don't often comment on videos but you not only deserve compliments but also an instant subscribe. You're awesome! Great craftsmanship, great explaining, great woman, great video quality. Absolut a fan now.
That is amazing. I would love to learn how to make 3 d patterns to make stuff from foam. This is so amazing. I never knew you could even sculpt with foam. Thank you for your video.
This video was VERY INSPIRING !!! I have been looking for a product like this for years . The sky is the limit now . Thank you so much and have an awesome day
Thank you as always for sharing your amazing skills. And for the links. We dont get these things in South Africa so thanks to you I now know where to order it. You inspire me!!
I use model magic to learn right now and this looks like a very similar consistency and texture. Going to try freezing my molds next time, I hope it works for me
nice timing. Just working on my first foam armor. I have the mask mask of the odogaron armor nearly ready. And was thinking on how to apply the foam clay i bought because of your recommendations and wanted to make the meat between the teeth and the lips with this clay. Really easy to use and it looks pretty good. Thanks for the nice tutorial. Really easy to apply them with just water.
Don’t throw away dried out foam clay!!! I was working with half of a container when I was suddenly called away & didn’t have time to put it back in the container.

ohhhh thx for explaning :3
Oooh!! Thank you! I'm not broke anymore, but i def still have stingy habits 😂❤❤
Very helpful advice! Although I already threw out small dries bits of it. But thanks to your comment I know now! lol
Fantastic tip, thank you
''I BRING ZIE DARKNESS!' no Svetlana, you bring the light and happyness with your energy and awesome videos !!
@Gerald Spessard Imagine thinking that's some kind of putdown. Lol
You prolly dont care but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!
@Legend Mitchell instablaster :)
@Cohen Jadiel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Cohen Jadiel it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

how did yo attach the foam pieces if you don't mind me asking?
Thats very helpful because i was thinking of doing that, just not sure it would work until I read this!
5:40 " I think the result turned out pretty nice." No the result turned out very awesome!
I've started using foam clay for my first cosplay build and it is a lifesaver for making natural-looking textures and getting shaping right. I'd be lost without it.
i absolutely love her. she is always so happy! this always makes me laugh, thank you
I am glad they put- ''DO NOT CONSUME OR EAT THE FOAM CLAY ''on the lid as I really wasn't sure !
She has a display fo everything you need for basic cosplay materials at michaels in Florida! I’m not sure about other places but huge clutch because I was there to get supplies for a cosplay I’m working on now!
Also in Charlottetown p.e.i Canada
Nope most of the stuff I need I will have to buy online,a frw things from Michaels or Joanna.
At just one? Or multiple?
I live near Wesley Chapel, and the Michael's near me actually closed and moved a while back... :(
I never make the ride out there anymore because I have Hobby Lobby a few blocks away.
But if Michael's has a Kamui section... I'll definitely make the ride! With my biggest backpack and tailbag lol
(Typically riding a motorcycle stops me from buying too much stuff! ;D I can only carry so much.. but I go nuts at craft stores. Haha)
i actually ended up on this video because i bought a bucket of foam clay and eva foam at Michaels in Fl.
Yeah I just found a display at Michael's but they didn't have the books 😭
I'm currently making a snake mask with scales sculpted out of foam clay and this video really gave me some insight in how to continue with the project. I had problems with the foam clay scales cracking and tearing while test-fitting the mask but your video gave me confidence that i can prevent this with the right sealant! Thank you ^^
Yes use some Flexbond
I'm looking forward to see how you guys paint that huge Diablo head and to see it attached to the rest of the costume, this is gonna be AWESOME
It will be interesting to figure out haha

I had no idea about the use of refrigerator! Will for sure try it out!

Thank you for doing this video Svetlana!
I would love to watch a time-lapse of your sculpting process! I feel like I learn a lot simply by watching others sculpt.

This is perfect I literally just started looking for foam Clay for my Yasha Cosplay
Foam clay is absolutely wonderful thing, I especially like how it can cover up any mistakes I do while cutting or dremmeling the foam. And now I see even more potential in it, thank you :D
Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️ You’re changing my life and I love everything you teach! Thank you for sharing something helps people be free to express themselves!
AWESOMENESS !!!
I love her energy
I’m using it for the first time this was very helpful! It’s so versatile, I’m definitely going to use it for lightweight details on cosplays :)
I'm not into cosplay, but this is definitely a material that I can add to my arsenal! You are so cheerful.
I started watching this because of the Wicked Skull! But you were the Star of this video.
Oh Mann ich brauche das in meinem Leben! I’m insufferably impatient with materializing ideas. This medium bridges the gap.
I’ve never built any cosplay, I’ve never worn any cosplay and I don’t really know any of the characters you build cosplay of! HOWEVER I’m here because the two of you are such amazing bundles of happy and fun energy that I can’t not watch you bring to life your amazing creations!
This was helpful. I recently purchased foam clay but didn't know how to properly use it thank you!! 💚
Inspiring energy and attitude.

This is very cool ! I’ve been working with Crayola Model Magic for a few years now, but I think I’ll try this material too !
Going to get some to use as a seam filler for a helmet I am making - great tutorial on how to handle it. Thanks!
GRANDIOSA REALIZACION CON EL MINIMO DE MATERIAL. LO AME

I love fome clay. I used it for the first time a few months ago when I made my womping willow costume.
Just used foam clay for the first time, thought you should know❤❤
You crack me up. Thank you for being funny and entertaining. Your techniques look so easy to follow.
You know what's annoying? How your process looks hack, but you finished product is chef's kiss. I wish i had that talent 😅❤❤
My favorite cosplayer! I’m new to working with foam clay and this helps a lot. 😊
Wow this is the first video that has ever made me want to even think about cosplaying with something other than leather and metal!
Awesome, I recently bought some foam clay and this is exactly what I needed, love this channel
