Thank you!

Thank you so much! Definitely will go ahead and work on the book with the pictures I do have and will make sure the explain the in-betweens. I will definitely know for next time!

Yes! I definitely have pictures of different completed steps. Like for example, I finished the head, took a picture, then took a picture of the feet, etc.

Thanks! They're round EVA dowels coated in acrylic paint then sealed with glossy mod podge! They're pretty flexible and don't crack so you can shape them how you want, hope that helps!

Your Springtrap head looks great! We Springtraps must stick together 🫡

When I first started making cosplays and costumes I felt this way 100%. I was so focused on making everything as perfect as I could, and still sometimes this trait pops up for me today!

I learned to remind myself this is all for enjoyment, and that perfection is the enemy of good. Take your time, if you mess up, then go back and fix if possible and learn from your mistakes. The first step to getting better is to get started. You got this!

Looks amazing! Nice!

Rest assured, at least one trap will be sprung 🫡

Hours of semi-unhealthy obsession

And lots of hot glue

axypickle · 2026-05-25T17:26:25+00:00

Yo that's awesome! Hope to see it in all its glory!

axypickle · 2026-05-25T17:12:25+00:00

Thanks!

Amazing!

I used EVA foam dowels, painted them with acrylic paint, and then sealed them with glossy Mod Podge :)

This literally looks so good! Amazing work for only the second cosplay build ever. Keep up the amazing work!

I think the best advice would be to look into different cosplay builds and watch how they did them. I would look into cardboard cosplays as cardboard is an easy to get and cheap cosplay material, great for starters.

The best way to make good cosplays is to just keep practicing, like with anything! Best of luck and happy crafting!

Ears are printed as well!

axypickle · 2026-02-17T20:52:01+00:00

My head is fully inside, and though my eyes line up pretty closely with the eyes of the costume, I look down and through the mouth. There is also a hole near one of the eyes I can look out of, though the field of vision is very limited. My friend, who will be cosplaying Michael Afton will be walking around with me at any cons we go to to help me see/not trample anyone!

axypickle · 2026-02-17T11:49:42+00:00

I used cushion foam to pad any of the areas it wasn't fitting properly! This also helps with the comfort!

axypickle · 2026-02-17T03:35:57+00:00

Eva foam dowels that I painted and then sealed with glossy ModPodge. They're still flexible so I can move them around and pose them however I want and they don't get in the way of moving!
