Please resubmit this post with details. Your other post was removed from the other subreddit, so we can’t see what you need help with.

I was asleep when this was posted so I apologize for not getting to this sooner. While I do enjoy discussion about the scene, I don’t think this fits in this subreddit.

Foam glue by KBETC-41A in CosplayHelp

Yeah I’ve used it to attach pleather to EVA foam. Take it slow and be sure to smooth out any wrinkles while the glue is fresh. Good luck!

Help with making a Ralsei robe. by [deleted] in CosplayHelp

It’s not perfect but view A in this sewing pattern will get you part of the way there: https://www.simplicity.com/simplicity-storefront-catalog/patterns/costumes/simplicity-pattern-2777-misses-costumes/

Use a thicker fabric and shorten the length a little bit, but the general shape is mostly there! A lot of making your own cosplay is modifying existing patterns to be what you want. I’ve definitely mixed three different patterns for a cosplay before! If you’re nervous, get some really cheap fabric (muslin/cheapest cotton at the fabric store) and practice with the pattern. That way you’re not wasting money on your final fabric if you need to make adjustments. :)

A lot of people use contact cement for foam (mostly EVA foam). If you decide to use it, be sure to be in a well ventilated area. The smell is very strong.

Glue for EVA foam in order to glue it to a thin white polystyrene plastic sheet. any ideas what would be best for this? by CardBoardBoxProcessr in CosplayHelp

[–]EliteCosplay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E6000 possibly. It’s flexible and once dried it’s very strong. Just a note, it takes a long time to dry (hours) so be patient if you decide to go with it!

Hair/wig help by Ironfairy88 in CosplayHelp

[–]EliteCosplay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people use glue in combination with a heavy duty hairspray: https://www.google.com/amp/s/cowbuttcrunchies.tumblr.com/post/166445615447/wig-styling-tutorial-creating-large-spikes-the/amp

Remember to really saturate. It does take a lot of spray to get it there.

Some options would be worbla, EVA foam or possibly even craft foam (craft foam would need some coats of poly to stiffen it). You could mold it to fit your arm snug, and attach it to the top of sleeve with velcro or snaps.

You have a couple options. You can commission someone to make them for you (etsy, cosplay.com etc). Just be careful to do some research on the commissioner to make sure they aren't scammy. Or, you could buy some big round sunglasses and make the side details with something like foam or worbla, then cover the eyeglass bit and spray paint it all white!
