I really have to thank you, I'm a Brazilian cosplayer, as many people here, i try to make my cosplays but the cosplayers never uses Eva foam or your materials, they also buy costumes, and that was making me sad, but when i discovered your channel, i make my first Eva foam cosplay, a mecha body, i felt so good and everyone in my team liked too, and now i can do whatever i imagine with it, so, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!
I totally second the "BUY IT WHEN YOU SEE IT" on fur (and leather) - I learned this the hard way - and this mostly made me the fabric hoarder that I am today. lol. But seriously, the fabric (fur) that I've bought years ago, I get to use on recent projects which veeeery convenient and lessens the stress. :)
One amazing sewing notion I've discovered in the past year is wonder tape. It's a double-sided water soluble tape that's very useful for aligning fabrics when sewing (such as zippers or appliques) since you just stick it down (rather than fighting pins for a long time). I used it when sewing a zipper this year and was like 'wow. how did it take me this long to try this thing out'. Def recommend if you're going to sew on a lot of detail pieces that would be tough to pin :D
I haven't even started doing any cosplay, but have been watching you for 2 years. Your energy, Benny, doggos aaand "buy my books" make it worth watching ;*
Hi there. My favorite item for cosplay is......... wait for it...... IT'S YOU and your videos! I love watching them and getting inspiration from them. Thank you ever so much for them and for the corgis too. Take care and God bless.
As a seamstress my favourite materials are almost all fabrics. I love Silk Dupioni, taffetas and recently liking wool a lot more after learning tailoring. My favourite crafting materials is foam clay because of course most sewn costumes also need some accessories!
Annie Chie since most of what I do is historical costuming (renfaire), I'm usually looking for handkerchief linen, cotton damask (in appropriate patterns - really hard to find!), cotton velveteen, and wool velvet (for late October outdoor events). Home dec warehouses are my friends! Long cuts, cheap prices if you know what to look for. Cut-down duct ties from Home Depot are great inexpensive bones for stays and bodices. Hemp cording, though heavy, is needed for certain styles of bodices and petticoats.
When you were talking about how you use faux leather and showed those boots I got such a throwback omg- That was the video that got me into Kamui Cosplay :D
ich habe wegen ihnen angefangen cosplays zu tragen, machen und so weiter! danke für die Motivation!! I started wearing, doing cosplays because of you! thanks for the motivation!!
I really like the duo cardboard/papermache. It's really cheap, it gives you the opportunity to recycle, it's really easy to use and gives you a smooth result if you smooth it out with you figers before letting it dry !
Dieses Video ist perfekt! Ich sehe ständig die Frage nach Materialien im deutschen Cosplay Amino. Jetzt können wir einfach dieses Video verlinken und allen ist geholfen. :3
I've been working on a helmet and I found shrink sheet plastic pretty good for the visor. I put some window film on it as well to give it a gold mirror effect.
I don't even cosplay but her energy and voice make these videos entertaining. Although it has given me inspiration to make Halloween costumes for my kids instead of buying them
yea, I've been a fan of the mass effect trilogy for years, since I was a little lad, and i always wanted to try cosplaying as admiral hackett or captain andersons final look in mass effect 3, with the hat, the earpeace, and the clothing. i want to try, but dont know how to, this video gave me confidence, but idk hey xD
@@KamuiCosplay i agree books are great. And im seriously considering buying one of yours. Im very interested in a leather desing. Do you have a book that includes fake leather as a topic?
An essential when you start moving from generic patterns to fitting things exactly is Assembil Books How Patterns Work. It takes you from beginning to end, of creating and adjusting patterns, working from blocks, you name it!
Es ist total cool das ich deinen Kanal vor 2 Jahren entdeckt habe weil ich ne Menge von dir gelernt habe und mich jetzt auch meine cosplay Freunde immer um Tipps bitten wenn sie ein cosplay machen 😁 Danke 🥰
Number one crafting materal at my place is PLA, Second place is PETG, Third place is TPU. I would have put 3d printer on your listing myself as there is a surprising amount of files out there for horns, masks, wings and other cosplay items that can be downloaded, printed and then painted.
I would love to see a video on any tips and tricks you've learned to help make costumes more comfortable. Anyway, I love the way you do your videos, you and Benni are such an inspiration! Thanks for all your hard work and sharing! :D
WatashiwaJouhouDesu See one is custom tailoring to YOUR body, some is learning how to move in the costume. You may want a friend to help you make a duct tape double for the tailoring part...
I havent used lace front wings yet but I plan too for future cosplays. I usually buy high quality wings. I found somthing that helps with people that have alot of baby hairs or hair that wont stay in the wig cap, is do hair spray or glue down your hair hairline. This also helps keep the front the wig from slipping.
Ich habe jetzt auch angefangen mein erstes Kostüm zu basteln.. an dem Punkt mal danke für die super Videos! Bist echt eine enorm große Hilfe für Anfänger wie mich, die noch keine Ahnung von nix haben. Auch mal Respekt für die wundervollen Kostüme :0 Mach definitiv so weiter!
You make these videos seem so easy to make these! Very fun to watch, I look forward to trying out some of these builds myself! Thank you for the inspiration
Great top 10! Always get excited to see a new post from you guys. I started on foam, now using my 3D printers for suit building, but I'm still amazed at what you do with foam. Good to know about Worbla as well. Keep it up! :)
My mom & sis needed to find a christmas present for me and know my hobby (I just started) and bought your book and a heatgun and materials thank u for getting to them, it’s the first time i thought my mom was okay with it 🥰 I was really surprised bc I watched a lot of you’re vids. Thank u so much!
I just got the digital downloads for a few of your books! So excited! :) I will also definitely check out the others as well! Thank you for inspiring me to finally do so! (I have been viewing for a couple months)
In leather crafting they have razor-sharp chisel tools to shave off the hide at beveled angles. Fast and clean. It would cut through your foam like butter. There's also pricking irons that pierce guide holes in the hide for easy hand stitching. Have you tried 'Spectra Chrome' for your mirrored metal effects?
This is awesome! I feel really inspired and excited for this halloween and wanna make my first cosplay and want to make an Inosuke mask and swords and i feel depending on the price i could make something good with this info tysm!❤❤❤
Hi Kamui :) Ich möchte Genjis Schwert machen und überlege, den Griff auch mit der Klinge mit Magneten zu verbinden. Welche verwendest du, dass es ordentlich hält und trotzdem kein zu krasses Magnetfeld hat, dass Elektronik dabei kaputt geht?
I like pvc foam board like Sintra. Found out about it from the Mandalorian Mercs. Its awesome for making armour. I'm planning to try a full suit of renaissance plate armour with it.
My top 10 materials
10-eva foam
9-eva foam
8-eva foam
7-eva foam
6-eva foam
5-eva foam
4-eva foam
3-eva foam
2-eva foam
*1-eva foam*
Honourable mentions:
Eva foam
Mazafesio El Madafaka i’ve never related to a comment more. well, besides a comment about mac and cheese but that’s not the point
What about eva foam?
Hehehe
Buy her books tho
that's all we need to create any cosplay kkkkkkk
I've never had an idea what to wish for a present, before I started to doing cosplay. Now I clearly know what I want for every occasion
eva foam boards
S A M E

I just realized your the Edna Mode of cosplay
What about capes?
No capes!
NO CAPES
Mind blown.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I feel like Svetlana is my cosplay mother. She taught me the way.
Aww Idk why I think that's cute but it is lol. And tbh same XD
My secret crafting material is puffy paint, it works so good as a flexible adhesive and to add detail
Eric Smith i use puffy paint to do fake embroidery, i put the puffy paint on then sew over it so it’s raised
Great tip
@@cryot9791 Do you sew over the paint by hand or machine?
Kirandae i do it by hand, i think it looks better when i do it by hand
@@cryot9791 I'd hurt myself if I tried to do that... or really anything doing with sewing ..

Man merkt, dass es deine Passion ist, es ist so toll zu sehen und zu hören, wie du dafür brennst.☺️👍
Diese absolute Verwirrung wenn plötzlich ein deutscher Kommentar zwischen dem ganzen englisch ist 😂
Das war mein Ziel 😂😜
"Even if your costume doesn't HAVE lights.. but you're so excited that you still WANT to put lights.. coz EVERYTHING has to light up somehow!"
I haven't even started doing any cosplay, but have been watching you for 2 years.
Your energy, Benny, doggos aaand "buy my books" make it worth watching ;*
Svetlana is so fun and entertaining that I watch her even when I have no plans to make any of these things. Lol.

Ihr seid der Wahnsinn!! Dank euch zwei habe ich endlich Mut gefunden auch mit cosplaying anzufangen! Vielen vielen Dank! Bitte macht weiter so!

That was the video that got me into Kamui Cosplay :D
"You knew this was coming"
Me: *hurts self while laughing*
Life of Teenx 2:10 the noise she makes after she says foam clay 😂
ich habe wegen ihnen angefangen cosplays zu tragen, machen und so weiter! danke für die Motivation!!
I started wearing, doing cosplays because of you! thanks for the motivation!!
So much love! Thank you for posting this list. It helps narrow down the clutter of need and WANT and NEED and want. Keep up good awesome work!
I really like the duo cardboard/papermache. It's really cheap, it gives you the opportunity to recycle, it's really easy to use and gives you a smooth result if you smooth it out with you figers before letting it dry !
I think my top 10 are most of those materials + a lot of upholstery foam and some fleece x3 ( I make fursuits and creature cosplay )
Hey, I've seen your tutorials before! You are really good at making fursuits :D
i love this women her energy

Excellent list! I'll have to watch more tutorial videos to see more examples of everything mentioned. The LEDs look especially fun!
Watch her led tutorials and buy her books XD
Cardboard is an amazing cosplay material! I'm a bit new to it, having only 4 cosplays, but cardboard is flexible, cheap, and easy to use.
You always inspire me, dear. And you never fail to make me smile. Thank you!
I love your humour it makes these videos so much better!
top 10 materials:
nr.10: buy my friends books
honorable mentions: buy my books
More like buy books in general. Books are good!
@@KamuiCosplay i agree books are great. And im seriously considering buying one of yours. Im very interested in a leather desing. Do you have a book that includes fake leather as a topic?
YOU BEST BUY HER BOOKS
You are so cute, I love how you get excited talking about something you love!
This entire channel is my life saver!
YESSS, JUST THE TOP TEN I NEEDED
Only 7K likes for such an awsome round up of the materials to use ? You have my like
I love how excited she always is
I actually just ordered one of your books last week or so and I have been just jittery while waiting for it to come in the mail
I was literally about to write down my xmas wish list and this showed up XD
I love how exited she seems! 😊 very sunshiny!!!

First cosplay video I ever watched, it was awesome and now I have big plans for my future cosplays

True but I see a 3D printer more as a tool and not a material :)

Das freut mich zu hören!

With extra foam a barrel could be fun and useful project that eliminate leftover particles
All I can say is THANK YOU!! You're amazing!
Svetlana,
I loved the not so subtle book plug at the end. Great video!
This is literally the most helpful video ive ever seen!😳
Brilliant, it's 2:30am and I want to start planning a costume right now. I should really stop watching your videos in the middle of the night...
Best time to plan a costume!
My mom & sis needed to find a christmas present for me and know my hobby (I just started) and bought your book and a heatgun and materials thank u for getting to them, it’s the first time i thought my mom was okay with it 🥰 I was really surprised bc I watched a lot of you’re vids. Thank u so much!

Thank you for the information about the foam because I will need some for armor.
This person needs more subscribers
I picked up Bill's first Foamsmith book and your Sewing book. Now I just need to pick up some motivation to use them.
You can do it!!!
very cute and amazingly crafty. I always wanted to do cosplay, but you sold me!
Wow, 12 minutes and 20 seconds I held my breath for!
You're a treasure, thank you for all you do :)
This is awesome! I feel really inspired and excited for this halloween and wanna make my first cosplay and want to make an Inosuke mask and swords and i feel depending on the price i could make something good with this info tysm!❤❤❤
I love how energetic you are
So great! Thank you for all those staff and work! You are awesome!)
Love your enthusiasm! Videos are always informative and just crazy enough to make me laugh.
I was waiting on the shameless plug for your books haha. I want to meet you so you can sign the books I've bought.
My favorite materials are ofc the fun vids of the cute Svetlana...😘

Cotton, helps make a costume breathe when it's hot.

The amaount of enthusiasim I feel from her is amazing XD it's leaking through my monitor. ... now I'm excited!! haha
I suggest grey cardboard for straight and durable pieces, it is actually what is inside book covers and it glues with pva glue (elmers)
What a great video! Very informative thank you!
thank you for this video and all the links!! you're a big help and inspiration!!
Included in my top 10 materials are your videos!
You are awesome!! Love you’re energy! Thank you for your help!
You are very talented, you must buy that foam by the ton! Your Corgi is adorable, too.
off topic i know, but wow Svetlana that dress.top is goooooooooooorgeous! the sleeves are so pretty!
I was waiting for the 10th xD
Aweseome video as always! ♥
New sub. So happy I found your channel. Thanks for the ideal cosplay content. My son and I are just starting out.
Geez oh Mimi! So gotta learn from you!
