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! 🙂

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

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.
