Sewing with Craft Foam (bow tutorial)

4/29/2014

sewing a bow tutorial
Craft foam has numerous application in the cosplay world. You can cut it, shape it with heat, paint it, stain it, whatever! Even throughout its wide application, I haven't really seen many tutorials or references about sewing with craft foam. 

I have used this technique when a garment needs a good amount of stiffness and flexibility, such as collars, bows, shoulder pieces, etc. 

This tutorial will walk you through creating a bow (aka a Sailor Senshi bow). I am creating this piece for my American McGee's Alice cosplay. What I love about using craft foam as a stiffener is that it holds its shape and it still remains rather flexible. 

Click through the slideshow below to view the tutorial!



Materials: 
  • fabric
  • sewing machine (or needle & thread)
  • craft foam: 1 2mm 12x18 sheet (Find it at your local craft store for about ¢.50 a sheet (or buy in bulk).
