- In this video, I tell you all about how to make an EVA foam shield for about $10. The one I made is specifically to use in my local LARP group so it fits their rules on how big it can be, materials it can be made of, etc.
The Definitive Prop Shop has a goal to give people information they can use to make their own props and costumes that they can use and be proud of. If you like what I do, please like this video and subscribe to my channel to see more tutorials like it.

Great job and this came out so awesome lol
Thanks for the tips! Months ago I made Link's Soldier Shield from BOTW and it turned alright but not what I was expecting. I didn't know you could mix Mod Podge with acrylic paint otherwise that would've saved me a lot of time. Live and learn. Thanks for your posts and tutorials!
Excellent Tutorial! 👍🏼
Awesome build love how it came out can't wait to try making one of my own thanks
The possibilities are endless now! This is so helpful thank you
Thanks for watching!
wow, good build. Looks like I'll be making a shield in the future
Great work brother! Definitely a great concept to make endless styles! Keep it up mann
Thanks!
To retain the “metal” striking bowl’s shape. I would have layered scrap foam pieces to fill the bowl before I put it on the shield.
Anyway awesome shield build!!!
Nice shield! Maybe make an ax to go with or a Wizard staff would be awesome too! Best wishes!!!
Thanks! I've actually got an axe almost done but I didn't have the sense to film myself making it.
The build is a little crude but the finished shield looks pretty good. If you add just a little dark blue to your silver it will cover better, be a little less shiney and look more like iron or steel. I will be interested to hear how well it stands up to larp combat?
Awesome!!
I might have slightly distressed that with a fine sandpaper to make it look more like wood. Your detailing is great though.
Yeah, I'm not super proud of this but it's not bad for just a few hours.
Absolutely I could not have cranked that out in two hours LOL. It’s beautiful work.
Plasti-Dip is a GREAT seal for foam props.
what are you doing at 3:50 to close that gap between the boss and the shield base?
It's just contact cement. I'm using a random thing I had on the bench to reach under and push out a bit of a wrinkle in the boss.
ah okay got it. cool thank you!!
what color of blue is that?
blue
I love your T-shirt reference.
Groovy
Are wooden shields legal?
In my local Live Action Role Playing Game, no. If you LARP, check the rules of your local game as they vary from game to game. However, I have yet to find a LARP that's cool with wooden shields.
he really is a bearded prop guy
I commented on this video a year ago, but did not leave a link for how I make my ones.

Pretty similar techniques, just a little bit more rugged.
did you see my way?
