Using LEDs Padre helps Patrick create an awesome hand in a jar from Dr. Who, and learn how to make armor for Halloween or any cosplay costume!
Creating cosplay armor (foam > cardboard)
Created armor for Sabine from Star Wars Rebels
Step 1: Get as many reference photos as you can!
Step 2: Use large sheets of paper or posterboard to create templates (or Builder's Paper)
Step 3: Decide what foam to use (6mm or 2mm craft foam, 1/2" or 1/4" floor mats, L-200 EVA foam)
Step 4: Cut based on template
Step 5: Apply heat for curves (Heat gun is best.)
Step 6: Glue (Epoxy or Super Glue.)
Step 7: Sanding & Bondo
Step 8: Apply smooth coat (Modge Podge)
Step 9: Paint (Multiple coats)
Step 10: Wait for paint to dry! A week is best.
Step 11: Attach Velcro (You want it removable: easier to put on, washing, packing, etc.)
Step 12: Enjoy!
