The most well known is probably cheap puzzle foam mats, which you can easily find on Amazon. In general, there are a million different kinds of EVA foam in various thicknesses, colors, densities and chemical compositions.
So, if you’re searching for a good alternative to Worbla, think about switching to EVA foam! I really like how these costumes turned out! Plus: Their armor cost me maybe $50 to $100 in total using mainly EVA foam! My other costumes in comparison were a lot pricer, less comfortable to wear and more challenging to transport. I think, all these projects show in a great way, that EVA foam is great for creating cool costumes and props! The whole armor was completely built out of simple EVA foam in different thicknesses and therefore I was able to keep the material costs pretty low.Īnother project was my Sole Survivor from the video game Fallout 4, which was my first complete foam costume and the first time I applied the rusting technique featured in my Advanced Painting Book.Īnd finally, my Zinogre armor from Monster Hunter, which was my most elaborate foam project so far. I got a little bit bored with it after a while though and switched to EVA foam, which gives me not only new challenges but also forces me to learn new techniques! So one of my latest projects was the Erazer Girl, a commissioned costume for the German computer manufacturer Medion. You might have noticed that many of my costumes in the past where made mostly with the brown thermoplastic Worbla. EVA foam is cheap, widely available and creating costumes and props with this material is super fun! So let’s check out out!
This time though I would like to talk about the super affordable alternative. Many of you know, that Worbla is a great solution to create armor and props. Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of foam!
