This is amazing! The end product looks like you spent tons of time and money on it but in actual fact you were just very clever and know all sorts of awesome tricks to make it look like a million bucks.
God bless this video cuz omg literally since I saw the movie on opening day I was like "this is it, I'm cosplaying this" and videos like these are what help me, a beginning into armour costumes, get by in the world ❤️
a lot of sites/channels show how to make cosplay props/weapon/armor with a "ready to use" printed pattern, it's easy to do. you show how to do it with freehand method. love your vids and work, you just got a new subscriber!
:D That's awfully nice of you. :) As you can tell by my profile picture, I love Wonder Woman. I saw it on the 10th, and I loved it. I also cried for half an hour, but I won't spoil it for the rest of the people in the comments. :D Thanks again, it's really cool.
It's really good! But if you're emotional bring tissues. I cried, as I said, for half an hour, but it was so worth it. It's the best movie I've seen. (It might even beat Lord of the Rings)
+mickyunit Wahooo! Thanks for subbing! :) Welcome to the build guild :) glad it could be helpful :) Sorry I can't help with creating more time in the day :(
Bless you for making this tutorial! I was so ready to give up on this cosplay because worbla is too expensive for a student like me. Then I found this. Thank you!!
2019: I NEED TO DO THIS FOR A SCHOOL THING, I LOVE WONDER WOMAN AND THEY LEAVE ME DO THIS AS A PROJECT. I don't know what I will do. I just loved what you did, it looks so real and very hard for make.
+SierraRose Przybyla Thanks :) It's not to bad for wear on the thickness but if I were to make it again I would make it out of 5mm foam instead of the floor mat foam :)
I have been using this tutorial for my costume and it's turning out really well! One thing I will say, I used the same paint listed in the materials (Dupli-color Metalcast Anondized coating), and it did NOT show up over black. So, what I did was a layer of silver spray paint (which shows up well on black) and then did the Dupli-color over that. It's even better if your coat of silver isn't totally solid- this adds some really cool dimension to the armor. But I had to go get another can of the Dupli-color just because I tried it over black and it didn't work, and this stuff isn't cheap.
Best "How to" video I've seen so far for Wonder Woman's armor!! Thanks to you @Cosplay Apprentice, I'll be able to make my genderbent Wonder Woman costume. Keep up the amazing work!!
I have a question and need an expert to help me with this. Do you have any advice or tips on how to curve 8mm foam? I'm having a hard time keeping the shin guards and arm bracers to stay in a curved shape to fit my body. Thanks in advance.
Oh man, that breastplate looks SO sick. I was afraid of creating a cheap-looking DIY costume, so I'm really glad I found your tutorial because the result looks so good! Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)
Hey could you also list the paints that you use? I'm having trouble finding a good red metallic spray paint. There's a lot of gold, silver, and copper, but I'm only finding glitter/sparkle reds, opposed to just metallic. Thanks!
Hey there, i am thinking of doing this, ( a male gender bent one_) for Halloween, but kinda found the whole thing too daunting, this made it look so easy, ( well manageable at least) thank you so much for sharing this knowledge, i really and truly appreciate it.
I always make or print my templates on photo paper so it is both thick, (so easy to trace) and shiny so it is easy to see the details, even in the dark.
Hi, how many millimeters is the EVA you usually use? I'm starting to create cosplay, start with this Wonder Woman's is recommended or do I have to try a easier one? Obrigado, ótimo trabalho!
If you’re a massive fan of Wonder Woman then I recommend Watching *‘Professor Marston and the Wonder Women’.* It just came out the end of last year, it will blow your mind. It’s about the inspirations of Wonder Woman. True Story. Also he was in a Polyamorous relationship and the women he was in the relationship with inspired Wonder Woman. Fact/spoiler: They also invented the lie detector. William Molten Marston, Elizabeth Marston, and Olive Byrne. The lie detector ended up inspiring WW’s Lasso of Truth. Watch the film, it’s super interesting and engaging. The cast are all amazing and gorgeous. Very underrated film. These people were way ahead of their time.
Awesome tutorial, thank you so much for sharing! I am going to attempt to make this myself but i second the commenter who suggested you sell these :D. Also, i was wondering if you had the videos for the arm and leg shields?
These foam armours look fantastic, but how well does the contact cement hold together when worn? Bending/twisting etc puts a lot of strain on seams. Do they ever pop apart?
+Mububban23 Thanks!! Great question! I was weary of is ability to hold as well before iused it. I did a test piece where i glued the two pieces together and then two of us played tug of war with it. The seam didn't budge. The foam is actually more likely to break first before the seam will. That being said, off there are pieces that will be in direct contact with you're skin and could consistently get sweat on it you will want to do something to protect the seams because sweat well corrode the glue. Hope that helps :)
+RavenousRavenclaw Thanks! Most of the time a hair dryer doesnt get hot enough or it takes a long time to try and heat it up. You can get a heat gun for under $20 usually though online
First I LOVE this, you are super talented!!! Second you said that before painting you would want to put two coats of something, but I couldn't make out what you said?? Also I am going to be making this for an upcoming comic con any tips for a beginner on how to not fail?
+Olivia Naccarato Thanks!!! It's 2 coats of Plasti-dip. :) I would say the best thing to remember as a beginner is don't be afraid to mess up and have to fix mistakes or redo something completely, it happens to all of us, no matter how long we've been doing it :)
thank you for sharing this guide. I've been thinking of doing a She-Ra cosplay and this might be a good starting place. I'll let you know the results. And YesI did just subscribe.
Your so cool, also question-I have some plast dip but it’s white. Yours I saw was black, does it matter what color is or does it affect the actual paint colo
Thanks!! :) You can use whatever color you would like, I generally get black, so that is what I use :). White should work fine :). Thanks for watching!! Also if you are wanting to learn more about working with foam right now registration is open for my online "school" for cosplaying with foam if you want to check it out www.cosplayapprentice.com/courses/the-build-guild Registration closes Thursday at midnight :)
+Guineapig108 Thanks! Great question! I think that you should be able to use a foam yoga mat instead, that might work pretty well actually, you just don't want it to be too flimsy of a foam or it might have a hard time keeping its shape. :)
+Jamie Green Thank you! Great question. A lot of it is a matter of preference and also the size of your pocketbook. There is a big debate as to whats better but I think they both work and they both have advantages and disadvantages. The foam I used to make this for example, I got a pack of big foam tiles for around $20 and I used a fifth of the pack for the whole costume and have lots left over for other builds. For a jumbo sheet of Worbla you are looking at around $95 dollars. You will have left overs of that too but its just a lot more up front. Hope that was helpful :) I do have a video on how to make your own worbla at a lot better price and it is better than worbla in my opinion, I call it PolyArmor. I do use PolyArmor to make the vambraces and tiara for wonder woman in videos to come :)
+Christina Naphor I have a link in the description to all of the materials I used and where yo get them :) Also, if you use my links to get them it helps support my channel :) I'm so excited for you! Let me know if you habe any questions as you get working on it, I am happy to help :)
Awesome tutorial! I have a question, say you were to use a satin or leather corset as the base and wanted to attach pieces of foam for the details, would contact cement still be the best thing to use to attach the foam to fabric? I was also wondering if you would be doing tutorials for the gauntlets, boots, sword and shield? Thanks again!
+Haley Ramos Thank you!! Great question, I am not sure with satin and leather but I have found contact cement to work pretty well with attaching foam to cloth, I usually do a second or third layer of the contact cement on the cloth depending on how absorbent the cloth is I have also had luck with spray adhesive. I haven't use satin or leather in particular for these though so if you have any way of doing some test pieces on a scrap piece of similar material that would be the best. I do have the video filmed for the guantlets and boots and lasso and Armband and I just need to edit them. And I have started on the sword and shield. :)
How did you get your foam to have good accentuation and curve? mine came out completely flat and when i put it on it didnt even lace all the way. should i retry? what did i do wrong?

I love how you burn in the designs rather than cutting out individual foam pieces to glue on. It looks so much cleaner and is less to stress about!!!
+Shannon Herman Thank you!! :)

It's really good! But if you're emotional bring tissues. I cried, as I said, for half an hour, but it was so worth it. It's the best movie I've seen. (It might even beat Lord of the Rings)
+Meaghan Fabiani Good to know, I'll definitely need to bring tissues then! Whaaaaat? Better than LOTR. Wow it must be really good then!

This is SO gorgeously done ...but seems *incredibly* thick for wear.

+Diego Salgado Are you using a heat gun?
I actually am. It's an industrial heat gun.
Do you think I should use thinner foam? 6mm instead of 8mm?
I totally didn't think of using foam! I will go do that 😀
+xX LCLuna Xx Nice!!!!
Looking forward to the rest of the wonderwoman stuff! I'm planning on dressing as her for the premiere

It’s a beautiful story and had my jaw dropping every time I put two and two together lmao
Awesome video also you are watching justice league in the background, Fantastic :)
Haha :) thanks!! Yep, I watch super hero shows while making super heroes :) I guess I like super heroes ;)
Another great tutorial! I don’t have a heat gun, so would I be able to use a hairdryer on the grooves instead? Would this still work?
whhaaatt!?? this is amazing!
+perdykool Thanks!!! :)
Can you make the costume the winter soldier, please?
+Daniela Sanchez That would be super cool!!

+Kévila Kelma Thanks for watching!!! :)
How did you get your foam to have good accentuation and curve? mine came out completely flat and when i put it on it didnt even lace all the way. should i retry? what did i do wrong?
When do we get to see the shin armor and tiara videos? These are great!
+zns72 Thanks, I'm working on getting them edited right now :) They are all filmed just need to be edited together :)
Bless! My friend and I are about to attempt this outfit. Having the shin guards and tiara tutorials would be heavenly!
+Lauren Wills Awesome! I'll work on getting them out :)
How do you transfer the markings from the painter's tape to the foam? As well, do you have any templates for the belt and eagle detail?
This is a super good diy! I’m curious about how much the materials cost and what I could use as a cheaper substitute
