The boobs you made for your cosplay. What material are they made out of ?
MATERIALS:- Regular Craft Foam - Masking Tape- Pen- scissors1. Cut out a generic LARGE tear drop shape. You’re going to have to make numerous DARTS in the foam to get the cup shape tocover your own boobs. Cut one (1) slit and position the craft foam so that the ends overlap eachother then temporarily tape it down using some masking tape. Do this a couple times with more slits of various lengths until you get arudimentary curved looking 3D foam shape.
You can mark off with a pen or pencil where you should cut out thedarts, then take off all the tape and cut the pieces.
- Rubber Cement (orcontact cement)- Hot Glue
2. After that I usedrubber cement (you can find it at any stationary/craft store) to cement thedarts. It’s still kind of fragile that way, so I took my hot glue gun andsmeared hot glue along the seams on the INSIDE to make them hold better.
3. Try the finishedcraft foam cups on and see that they cover your full breast (sides and all). Also,if the cleavage type you need is different, the shape I made is not necessary.You might make the top a bit different shape. The reason I chose to cutthe fake boobs this way is because I needed a v-neck plunge, so the tops ofmine are pointy.
MATERIALS:- Yellow Upholstery Foam- Hot Glue4. After you have those craft foam pieces, you need to use yellow upholsteryfoam. This type of foam is important because I tried to use softer stuff and itcollapses so easily. Get this foam (usually comes in 1/2” thickness) fromstores that have an upholstery or drapery section.

5. Stretch thefoam onto the shape. DO NOT rip it or cut darts. Foam is pliable so see howAltiera spana used clips to hold it on?? You can do the same, I just used hairclips.
Once it’s stretchedout a bit (give it a couple minutes), you can use glue to just glue it on. Hotglue will warp craft foam though, and hot glue stays hot for a long time onyellow foam, so be VERY careful not to burn yourself if you use hot glue!
6. Trim and shave yourfoam down at the EDGES so you have a nice smooth shape (not blocky).
MATERIALS:- stretch knit fabric
7. Find a stretch knitfabric. I found a beige stretch knit in the activewear/lycra section ofFabricland. I generally prefer stretch knit to 100% synthetic spandex or lycrabecause it takes to hot glue really well, whereas the other stuff just seems todry flaky.
8. Stretch the fabricover and use some pins or clips to hold it in place (careful to not rip yourfoam). Hot glue the fabric edges to the inside of the cups.
Once that is done, you get to this stage:
MATERIALS:- Liquid Latex (flesh tone)- Popsicle sticks- Baby powder
9. To make the breatsmore realistic, you can add liquid latex (flesh tone). I used BEN NYE brandfrom an 8oz container. This stuff goes a long way, so you won’t need the entire8oz (you can probably use 4oz as more than enough). I first did a test on ascrap piece of knit fabric to see how many layers I needed before I got askin-like texture.
I got a bag ofPopsicle sticks and dipped one in the liquid latex then used the stick tosmooth it onto the fabric. One layer soaked up a lot so it became very roughlooking. Once it dried, I brushed on a layer of baby powder. Liquidlatex needs to be brushed with powder after every coat. I added a second coatof liquid latex using the popsicle sticks. (Throw out the popsicle sticks afterevery use, and use lots. If latex dries on it, it won’t spread smoothly, sojust use more. It gets smoother than a sponge and is much cheaper than brushes).
For the THIRD coat (Ihad tested on a small patch previously and figured 3 coats would look good), Idid NOT use popsicle sticks. I set the boob on a paint bottle to prop it UP andAWAY from the table. I then lightly POURED liquid latex directly from thebottle onto the boob and manipulated the boob around so that the entire thing gotcoated this way. I let the excess DRIP off and onto the work board underneath.
If a few air bubblesget in it that’s ok, it actually helps to add realistic look to the ‘skin’.Once it’s dry, brush with baby powder. Do both boobs this way.
10. Trim offany dried drips of liquid latex that collected on the edges of your boobs.
11. To match perfectlyyour skin tone, I AIRBRUSHED my false boobs using an Airbrush and Airbrushpaints. SEE THIS VIDEO OF MY PAINTING HERE.
You can probably usemake-up to paint the latex as an alternative to airbrushing. There are plentyof latex painting tutorials on the web!
12. To add straps, youcan simply sew some on to the excess fabric that was glued into the inside ofthe boob cups. Reinforce your sewing stitches with hot glue. You can add asmall piece of fabric in between the breasts as well to help hold them together.
