At last, the long awaited Vinyl & Craft Foam Armor Tutorial!

I've had a lot of practice with this method, and this is the formula that works best for me, so I hope it can help you build your armor with ease. I really enjoy working with my hands and making armor pieces using various methods, so please don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any - I'll be glad to answer them!

May I ask where you purchase your vinyl from? I never have any luck with finding any at Joanns or I guess I'm not looking hard. Thank in advance!

I get all my vinyl at Joann's :) But you can also look online at stores like MJTrends.com.

Hey! This is awesome! I was wondering if you can give me some suggestions on making the shape of a breast plate armor for the character Asuna on Sword Art Online. Your work is amazing, and I hope you have some time to give me some tips!

I form my armor on a duct tape body form ( you put on a plastic bag or Saran wrap, then cover your body with layers of duct tape to make a body double). Craft foam can stretch when heated to get a complex curve, however, with materials like Wonderflex, Worbla, and Sintra out there, you can do curves much better than with craft foam.
