Kingdom Hearts 3: Sora shoes tutorial
Yesterday I just finished the shoes of my new cosplay sora from the game series Kingdom Hearts <3. It was my first time I ever made these kind of boots. It's pretty simple making them. Unfortunately I couldn't find clown shoes as a base in my area so I used Palladium boots I only worn Once.
What you'll need
- Shoes (any kind)
- Upholstery Foam 2 or 3mm
- Upholstery Foam spray
- Hot glue gun + sticks
- EVA foam 2 or 3 mm
- Stretch Fabric
- Buckles
- Elastic band
Step 1: Cut the Upholstery Foam into strips. place and spray them all together till you have a large bump. I used Upholstery foam spray. It's pretty solid and stays in place.It's also best to use 2 mm or 3mm of upholstery foam. I first bought 5mm but it was too thick so I had to carve it thinner.
Step 2: Black stretch fabric was used covering the whole shoe. It's best making a pattern from the shoe first then onto the fabric. It's best to double layer it as well.You will have less bumpy parts and can't really see the foam through out the fabric. When you have the pattern and sewed it. I pinned down the fabric onto the shoes and used the glue gun.
Step 3: The side parts of the shoes. I used stretch fabric as well. Since I couldn't find yellow fabric at the fabric store. I bought white ones and colored it with Fabric paint. If you have yellow fabric. It's less work and easier done ha ha~. The parts were cut in to the shape and glued on with the hot glue gun.
Step 4: Making the flaps of the shoes. I Used EVA foam as the base form and covered it with stretch fabric afterwards. I glued them on top of the back of the shoes.
Step 5: Making the white borders I used EVA foam BUT if you like, you can also use fabric. Either way is fine.I cut the EVA foam into strips and glued them carefully.
Step 6: The buckles I Hot glued them on place and attached the elastic band on them.
Step 7: Since The sole of my shoes was white I painted them into the gray color Sora has. I used a mixture of Acrylic and leather paint. Annndd There you have it. Sora shoes \(^_________^)/
Hope you like the tutorial. If you have any questions I'd love to help ^__^
