What this video covers

This short tutorial walks fans of the Apple TV+ series Severance through building a screen-accurate Lumon Industries employee ID badge from scratch. The creator covers designing and printing the badge graphic, applying it to a card substrate, laminating with contact paper for a polished finish, and threading it onto a lanyard. As a fun bonus segment, the finished badge is worn to MegaCon Orlando to gauge fan recognition in the wild.

Key takeaways

  • Four inexpensive materials — blank cards, sticker paper, contact paper, and a lanyard — are all you need to complete the build.
  • Designing a print-accurate badge graphic is the most critical step for achieving a screen-faithful result.
  • Contact paper or sticky plastic serves as an affordable DIY laminate to protect and professionalize the badge.
  • The project is beginner-friendly and completable in roughly the same runtime as the video itself.
  • Works equally well as a cosplay accessory or a display piece for Severance fans.

Who this is for

Severance superfans and beginner prop-makers who want a quick, low-cost cosplay accessory faithful to the show.

Real YARNABY Animatronic! 🧶😱 #poppyplaytime

Wicked Makers' Jay and Jaimie construct a full animatronic version of Yarnaby from the horror game Poppy Playtime, built from steel and driven by pneumatics. The build goes beyond aesthetics — the team stress-tests the animatronic's jaw mechanism using a ballistic gel arm to see whether it could realistically bite through a limb. The video blends behind-the-scenes fabrication footage with chaotic prop-testing in classic Wicked Makers style. It sits alongside their broader catalog of mascot-horror animatronics inspired by FNAF, Poppy Playtime, and similar franchises.
