I almost started crying because you taught me how to do this so well lol! I was horrified at the overwhelming task of making armor, but this looks so doable now! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!
I'm a beginner cosplayer and your tutorials are so helpful! I would never have thought of using plastic wrap to make templates, thank you so much for making these!
Psychic is from satin. Do you still feel like that's what she is? If you know anything about the Lord, then you know God's word is Holy and True. It's in your scriptures. Read it.
This was Really helpful! My wife and have more background in the sewing side of cosplay so but I have a young son that is just starting to get into prop and armor making and this looks great a project we could do with an 11 year old to help further help him develop his skills. Thank you for the tutorials!
I just want to let you know I come back to this every year and always share this with friends who are just getting into cosplay. Please please never remove this video! It’s the absolute best reference on the internet 🎉
I am actually surprised with how well you compressed the information without compromising the techniques you showed. The video seems really comprehensive, and I'm impressed af.
I think you forgot something very important to mention.... Buy her Booooks!!!!! No im Serious buy them. They are great, short, very informative and a great way to support you favorite artist.
Well it depends on where you live, here floormats are a great source of foam if you don't have a hobby store near you, but somewhere else floor mats may be a terrible choice, context is key. In conclusion, yes, sad odin noises
I bought a whole bunch of them and now I’m stuck using it. No complaints, but shaping is going to be more time consuming. Hopefully painting it won’t be horrible
I'm an austistic person and I have a special interest on Naruto. I've watched your videos for a while now and and I finally decided to purchase your book and a sewing machine. I finished my studies and will have more time now to get in to crafting. Thank you so much for everything !
I am about to make my first cosplay ever and I have loved your work from a long time. After watching many videos of you I finally decided to make my own cosplay rather than buy it from someone which costs waaaaaay more than making it. I thank you so much for giving all this content to us for free and inspiring many people like me to cosplay and get into this hobby. I hope my Red Hood Ronin comes out great
Literally the exact video I needed! I've been looking into making some removable boot covers for a Zelda cosplay and have never worked with foam before!! The foam clay sounds like it would be really useful for sculpting lightweight accessories too! I can't wait to apply a bunch of the techniques and advice from your video!!! Thank you so much for your super informative videos and tutorials!!
Great video!! My 6 year old grandson wanted a Dark Magician from Yugioh costume and after seeing the video, I was able to make the hat, shoulder plates and I'm now working on the arm armor. Thank you so much for this informative and fun video.
Vielen Dank dass du das kostenlos bereitstellst! :) Ich meine du bist sehr professionell und deine Tipps sind das Geld auf jeden Fall wert. Deine Videos sind sehr interessant und aufschlussreich und das sogar auf internationaler Ebene ;) Mach weiter so, ich bin froh dass es jemanden wie dich gibt, der einem/die einem viele fragen beantworten kann, die man sich stellt und uns zeigt wie einfach und gut es klappen kann :)
I've never used EVA foam before - just recycled materials like cardboard and plastic - but this makes what I've been doing seem so much more difficult! I am so glad I found this video thank you for teaching me :)
Hey hey! Thank you so much for making this video and all the others! I’ve only begun cosplaying in the last couple months, and thanks to your videos, I am almost complete with my first Ezra Scarlet armor. I’m so proud, and couldn’t have been inspired without you!
I don't do anything like this, but stumbled here when looking for foam template techniques. I gotta admit that these methods are admirably simple and effective. Always thought that making something like that is actually much harder thing to do. Note that I don't mean to say work is simple, but I mean the very core techniques that are simple. Like film, tape and glue.
Currently in the prep work for a Cosplay of Jetstream Sam (Metal Gear RR) and pretty new to foam work. Thanks to you i got the guideance i needed to finally start the realization of the suit. Much appreciated thanks from germany
This is so amazing, I Just made my first armour pieces using pvc Pipes and this looks soooo much more pleasant to work with!! The instructions and tips are also super clear!
Thank you very much. This was so easy to understand and helpful. I have promised to make my 2 young boys suits of armor and I was nervous to get started. Thank you for showing me such a great way to get started. You turned my fears into excitement. 😊
This is an amazing video. This will be my first time using Eva foam. She explained everything so perfectly and now I have a little bit more understanding how to do it.
... I never even thought about using zippers holy crap... I have some leather bracers that are laceup but I struggle to do them onehanded... this is amazing. Also this will make foam armor making so much easier thank you I’ve been honestly wondering how to get started with some of the smaller armor pieces
Vielen, vielen Dank. Ich hab so verzweifelt nach einem Video wie dem hier gesucht, war aber einfach zu blöd eins zu finden. Das hilft mir echt total. Würde mich echt freuen, wenn du noch mehr solche Videos machen würdest. (Mit Tipps und Tricks für Deppen wie mich)
new to eva foam , most of my previous armour was with metal and leather , maille etc ,30 plus years with as a re enactment fighter with a medieval fighting club. I wish I could say it is similar but there a few differences that make it different . looks like fun. I made some horns from scratch , and found that i need to make them much larger than i think i will need , but they were ok for my first ever attempt . rule one if you think the glue is dry enough stop and wait another minute or two was the first thing i learnt , cant rush these things . thank you for the tips and videos , they help a lot , speargiver from Aus
Omg THANK YOU! I am interested in making my own Ahsoka and clone trooper cosplay and I’m so overwhelmed on where to start and you made this so simple! I’m not scared to start anymore!
Omgg okay so I follow you on IG and I always see alot of your amazing cosplays and seeing this video and how simple it was once you explained it has me wanting to make my own cosplay!!
ooooooooooooooooo I never thought to use an open ended zip! Oh that is such a good idea that I am taking it that for my Zenyatta cosplay! Also great video! Love your stuff!
Thank you. My wife and I cannot wait to start. I am used to Working with leather and its very hard and expensive to get everything. your tutorial was great and very informative, Thank you!!
So I'm at work and I'm watching this because I want to make my own armor and this looks so easy I started getting hyped up and now everyone is looking at me but thank you for this video I'm definitely gonna check out more of your videos and try it myself
So, I guess it's time to forget my fabric costumes and to start making badass Star Wars armors. The Empire needs me. *grabs a lightsaber and a heatgun*
OMG! Thanks for your videos, Everyone automatically assumes you know what you are doing when making cosplay and you get hopelessly lost! Your tutorial videos showing every step are a godsend!!!!! SUBSCRIBED!!!!!
Idk why UA-cam recommended me this video, but after watching it I automatically subscribed. I loved her accent and energy, and now I want to make cosplays lmao
Wow. Finally a short, yet descriptive cosplay tutorial. I’m going to Tucson Comic-Con as Solid Snake from MGS1 and I had no idea how to go about painting and shaping and stuff like that, so this was actually super helpful. Thanks, so much ❤
This is my first video watching you and I’ve been wanting to get into cosplay and all I keep thinking I freaking love you I’m so relieved how simple you made this and gave me the confidence that I’ll be able to do this on my own ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this guide. I’m making my first ever foam armor cosplay and looking forward to finish it! I’m really happy that I’m able to bring Diablo 3 Necromancer to life! :)
lady, you've made my day! i've always been intrested in cosplay and find it mega amazing and cool. but no clue where to begin. usually i buy everything but i want to make some stuff myself. Bet never knew how to begin with it. but now i"ll be able to finally create my necromancer.
Hi Svetlana! This year for Lucca Comics I brought my Visenya Targaryen full armour and the main piece was the breast plate and I have to thank you because without your pattern I would have been totally flat. Instead I was amazing! Thanks again!!!
I almost started crying because you taught me how to do this so well lol! I was horrified at the overwhelming task of making armor, but this looks so doable now! Thank you SO MUCH!!!!
Whitli Doke I agreeee, I had no idea how to start but this is super helpful!
For shizz! Same.
i wonder what's the update
I felt this comment in my heart. I'm so hyped to start my journey

Seriously, you're like the Bob Ross of cosplay. I could just sit here all day and watch you make stuff.
Totally agreed, just that she is quite much pretty ...😁😁😁
She's a genius

I just discovered foam clay this year and I absolutely love it! I made my haunted house kitsune mask out of it
That takes me back a few decades to making swords and armour for LAPRing at university. Thank you for such a clear and up beat tutorial.
I'm doing my first attempt at a cosplay and had no idea where to start at making armor pieces. This is incredibly helpful.
Beginner cosplayer and I think you just saved me months of doing stuff XD
Me: doing cardboard everything

A Collection of "weird" armor pieces, like elbow- or kneeguards. I'm struggling a lot with mine.
Also How to make a Foamsword and Shield!
Might be your cup of tea! I have a full foam Hylian Shield build on my channel :-)
a 1-2in thick pvc pipe for the handle for a sword as for a shield depends but using Velcro or leather for the arm band to hold it on your arm helps.
With elbow or kneepads you could look for really cheap ones (for rollerblading and stuff) just to get an idea of a rough shape

I have so many armor ideas that i can make using this method. i’m very excited to get my hands on some foam and give it a shot
This video is absolutely wonderful! You are amazing

OMG super helpful 😍😍😍😍
Thank you sooooooooo much Svetlana
War am verzweifeln 🤣
Wow ... I didn’t know where to start. Now I do! Thank you
I was nervous about making cosplay armor before, but this made it seem a lot simpler! Also can a hair dryer be used instead of a heat gun?
hair dryer can work for thinner material like 2mm foam, but Ive had no luck on foam any thicker than that
not hot enough sadly
I can listen to her accent all day! Also fantastic tutorials
This help me so Much because i would make cosplay...thank toi si Much for this tutorial ! >~
Im a beginner Cosplayer . Thank you so much ! your tutorials are so much helpful . Wish me luck guys ☺️
