✨️COSPLAY HACK✨️ Easy & cheap way to craft realistic leather-like EVA foam belts and straps 😌
Materials used:
- 2mm EVA foam ➜ you need twice the width to get those beautiful round edges
- Contact cement + PPE ➜ let the glue dry for 10-15 min
- Heatgun + aluminum foil + PPE ➜ to add texture
- Foam primer ➜ to seal the foam
- Acrylic paint + weathering ➜ to add dimension
- Topstitch thread ➜ to mimic real leatherwork
- Buckles ➜ to finish the look
Optional : flexible varnish and non-slip elastic bands to glue on the back so the strap stays in place
This was the last piece needed for my Nami cosplay from One Piece, Stampede movie version, and I'm in love with the result! Will you try this method? 👀
