Post apocalyptic costume making - tire armor tutorial

Basic tutorial for making tire armor for your post apocalyptic costume! With this method I'm using EVA-foam for a base and adding cross bike tires, creating lightweight tire armor with a heavy look.
Materials used:
- bike tires of your choice - new or used
- minimum 7 mm eva-foam, use black or grey so you don't have to prime/plasti dip it if you don't want to
- contact cement glue
- acetone/degreaser
- plasti dip or any liquid rubber paint spray (optional)
Tools:
- heatgun
- boxcutter and /or scissors
- pencil
- wire cutter
- cloth rags and/or cotton balls
- foam scraps or gluebrush
Safety gear:
- respirator for gluing and optional plastidip spraying
Respirator or die!
...and always wash those dirty hands before you stick them in your mouth ;)

I love the design of the armor it looks really like something you would seen in the fallout universe. Absolutely beautiful

maybe you can try talking a bit more during the process (everything was clear, but it can make process more lively)

[@gaulol]

i love how she said "that's it now go make some tyre armor" and that's exactly what i did

[@bloodshotbelle]

Yay! That's exactly the reaction I wanted 😁❤

[@thevikingwanderer2675]

I used my leather bracer

[@nastarannaserpour711]

[@johnnydump2229]

Could these be chest armor

[@bloodshotbelle]

Yes of course, you an basically do a base for whatever armor pieces you like using this technique. I mostly make a base of EVA-foam covered in fabric for chest pieces and attach stuff to it.

[@SirAlex-]

Yo this can be used as real armor tho

[@Jesscrayons]

But wait if you are making it out of bike tires is it fake tire armour? would it not be real tire armour as it's made with real tires?

[@bloodshotbelle]

Not really but I'm sometimes referring to it as that as I fake a heavier look like that of a thicker tire 😊

[@Cruw104]

Shhhhh, it's a secret 👀
* proceed to make it out of real bike tire and scrap-metal instead of foam *

[@francoismoffet]

Hi, how do you do the rest of the armor?

[@jeffr7752]

Is that a bike tire or a moped tire?

[@bloodshotbelle]

It's a bike tire! :)
