Angelina Garcia there are several types of foam to use for these kinds of projects. EVA foam the floor mats that look like square puzzle pieces are great for thicker armor I'm thinking like gaming armor. There is also a thinner EVA foam for a lighter more bendable foam. (Heat guns are where it's at for doing your own cosplay) And then there is the craft foam that you can get at walmart is all different colors like you see what she has. The craft foam is great for layering on top of the thicker EVA foam for more details and dimension. Most of this can be bought at walmart. The eva foam would be by the workout section. Usually two types to pick from (6 square pieces or a rolled up EVA mat) for $20. And the craft foam- well the craft section at walmart. :)

Thank you! I plastidipped it when all the pieces were attached to the gloves. Painting every individual tiny piece is a bit tedious for me but taking your time and painting every individual piece will give you lovely results. The plasti-dip doesn't soak through the fabric but I do stick paper towels inside my gloves when I'm gluing the pieces on to prevent the fabric from sticking.

I wish I had the time to transfer all the patterns I make online for you guys to have. :^( Maybe one day I hope. I usually don't keep my patterns I make unfortunately.

Thank you!!!

Thank you! I use a heat knife. If you check my cosplay playlist you will find a video on weathering I made that you might like. :^)

THANK YOU BB

You could! Hot glue may not hold as nicely as super glue or contact cement but if it's all you have it will work just fine :^)

It doesn't really "bond" to fabric well but it does dry! I found it doesn't impede mobility if you're working with a glove. With gloves, I usually plasti-dip the glove with foam bits attached. If I were more patient, I would take the time to plasti-dip every individual piece before attaching it to the glove--but I usually don't do that. I hope that helps!

Sweet! Thank you so much~

Thank you! I got some of the foam I'm using from Joanns' and Michael's' You can check it out in this video: Tips on Shopping for Cosplay Supplies: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3BfyhrFrbjk.html

Thank you! I use EVA foam in varying thicknesses.

@@GraceWillow where is a good place at a major usa chain to buy the eva foam?

@@CreoVox I like TNT cosplay supply!

Thank you for your question! Lately I haven't had issues with costumes breaking while at a con but I usually carry some extra foam, acrylic paint, hot glue, and super glue with me just in case! I would like to make a more detailed video about this sometime :^D

I like using those tactical gloves because the armor tends to stick better and remain more rigid, but you don't have to do that! I've sewn plenty of "hand turkey" gloves and stuck armor on top of them and they've worked out fine.
