DISCLAIMER; this video talks about COSPLAYSHOP EVA foam. Foam from other shops will differ in color and density.

I came looking for a quick primer on EVA foam to see what all the fuss is about in case I wanted to invest in a new costume technique for my favorite holiday. Just wanted to say that this video is amazing! A blitz of great practical tips, clear instructions, safety advice, and creative ideas in an efficient package. Well done!

Short, concise and explains everything like we're 5 year olds. Perfect!

This is so helpful! I'm making my 5 yr old mandalorian armor for Halloween. First time working with foam. He is so excited, it is worth all the work.

Ah a channel that can help and guide me with cosplays.
I just finished making my Dragonslayer sword, and the final hard step is the Berserker Armor

Teaching all of this for free... thank you cosplayshop senpai!

I was looking for answers on my very complex question, “what thickness should I buy”, and I learned so much that I hadn’t even thought about. I guess that all I can say is, thank you so much for making this. I honestly had no idea the different colours were different densities.
The more you know, I guess

I'm going to attempt using EVA foam for my first Renfaire in a few weeks and this was a great introduction video to help get me started!

This is so helpful! Thank you!
My son wants to be Odysseus and wants me to be Athena for Halloween this year.

He’s going to be so excited to have a cooler costume than the basic costume/armor I’ve been finding ready-made online. I love what I’ve been finding on Etsy, but can’t afford it right now, so I’ll give it a try!

[thedaniplanet]

Thank you so much for this video! I bought a roll of foam and an xacto knife and realized I may need a little guidance. This was perfect!!

[viktor]
