How to get started with Foam Armor

EVA foam is a great and affordable material for cosplay! So I made a tutorial on how to get started, where to find the products and everything you need to know for a simple costume piece! If you always wanted to try out cosplay, but felt a little bit intimidated, this will be just the right video for you! Hope it's helpful! 🙂

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!!!!

Seriously, you're like the Bob Ross of cosplay. I could just sit here all day and watch you make stuff.

I feel like Kamui is psychic because every time I remotely have a question about cosplay, bam ... new video

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!

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!

Beginner cosplayer and I think you just saved me months of doing stuff XD

Damn I've been waiting for a video like this for ages XD

[recless]

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.

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.

[SheBPadfoot]

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!

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 just discovered foam clay this year and I absolutely love it! I made my haunted house kitsune mask out of it
