The Best Cosplay Tutorial Guide Ever!
Get ready to impress ordinary mortals with your superhuman
costume-making skills. You can do it no matter what your experience
level with this, the first full step-by-step technique book on
cosplay--with no sewing! Internationally known cosplayer Kamui Cosplay
(a.k.a. Svetlana Quindt) shows you how to easily create elaborate
costumes and successful props out of items available at your local arts
and craft or hardware stores: turn foam into a realistic axe, create a
breastplate from scratch and use a glue gun to modify just about
anything. You will even learn the best and most accessible techniques
for working with specialty cosplay materials such as Worbla!
Packed with more than 30 step-by-step demonstrations that teach the
skills you need to bring all your favorite characters to life no matter

complete costume, from the first thought to the final photo. Tutorials
