Make Foam Armor bracers

Allen Hopps of Stiltbeast Studios walks through the process of crafting wearable EVA foam bracers, with an emphasis on how to develop and transfer patterns for armor pieces. He sources his EVA foam from Harbor Freight floor mat tiles, making this an accessible and affordable technique for haunters and cosplayers alike. The tutorial is practical and focused, covering the core patterning workflow that can be applied to other armor components beyond bracers.
