Cosplay Materials
There are a few key materials that are essential to any cosplayer. These include fabric, wood, cardboard, and foam. Foam is a cosplayer favourite, as it can be sculpted into any shape and is very lightweight. It also comes in a variety of thicknesses and densities, making it ideal for armour or small details on costumes.

Many cosplayers use cardstock to make their costume pieces. It’s a cheap and durable material that can be used to make anything from a base for an armor to a helmet. Corrugated cardboard is another affordable option that can be used to create the frame of a mask or bodysuit.

Many cosplayers also use papier-mache to make their costumes. This inexpensive material can be used to build complex sculptures and is also flexible once any underlying support has been removed. Wire is also a common component in cosplay, especially for props that need to be poseable. It can be found at stationary shops or in craft stores, and is available in a range of different strengths.
