What this video covers

This short tutorial from Madeyewlook walks viewers through building DIY Mercy wings from the game Overwatch using foam board, acrylic paint, a hot glue gun, and a Sharpie. The build is budget-friendly and accessible to beginners, with regular cardboard offered as a more flexible alternative material. The finished wings are designed to complement a full Mercy cosplay or Halloween costume, and a companion body paint tutorial is referenced for the complete look.

Key takeaways

  • Foam board is the primary structural material, though cardboard can substitute
  • Acrylic paint at roughly $1 per bottle keeps costs very low
  • Hot glue and a Sharpie are the only tools required
  • Pairs with a separate body paint tutorial for a complete Mercy cosplay
  • Quick build suitable for last-minute Halloween or convention costumes
