#shes so amazing
Since expanding foam is so easy to use and plot out, there aren’t many step-by-step tutorials out there (when the process goes so smoothly, there’s isn’t much to explain!). Here are the best available:
Preparing and carving:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O23TM-z0OXk Look at how much she uses, and how much she carves away. Don’t go chintzy when you’re spraying on the foam.
Applying paper mache:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bn_RosA4uFc&list=UU79qFuymkVas5dCScbLF9fw Remember, you have to cut your newspaper into tiny squares! None of those long strips you used as a kid. They willbuckle, bend, and make unattractive gaps in your prop that you can’t cover up.
Making a sword (this has really well-explained steps at the bottom):http://doxiequeen1.wordpress.com/2010/12/13/how-to-make-a-lightweight-cosplay-sword-tutorial/

And that’s it!

I honestly wouldn’t push this as much as I am now….
But please, if you have even the smallest ammount of money you can do without, I would really appreciate it…
My darling kitty Azalia is sick, and I need some extra money to be able to handle the vet and medicine bills…
