Medieval Tabard Cosplay Tutorial

See how easily you can create awesome looking cosplay armor. Disclaimer: In this video I use very sharp and very hot tools. You can, and at some point, will, get cut/burned while crafting. Please be careful, and craft responsibly. This video shows how I created my medieval tabard/surcoat, from the actual pattern plan to the finished product A reasonably easy build, I would rate it 2/5 in difficulty. Here is the list of items actually used in this video: - Dark blue cotton canvas (mine was from Spotlight. I bought a square of 1.6x1.6m but could have used a bit less as I cut a fair bit from the bottom in the end) https://www.spotlightstores.com/sewing-fabrics/furnishing-fabrics/decorator-fabrics/canvas/brighton-cotton-canvas/p/BP80364386 - 40mm-wide White Heading Tape (from Spotlight again, 10 meters worth) - Sharp Scissors - Hot Glue Gun (from Bunnings https://www.bunnings.com.au/ozito-10w-trigger-flow-glue-gun_p6290184) - Hot Glue Sticks (LOTS! I probably ended up using 30-35 for the whole build https://www.bunnings.com.au/craftright-100mm-glue-stick-20-pack_p6360171) - (Optional) A Sewing Machine (with some white thread, and the skill to use it) Here's a link to the Ned Kelly story: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Kelly And his (in)famous armor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Kelly#/media/File:Ned_kelly_armour_library.JPG You can find the video on how to make the helm here: https://youtu.be/6fkJz4d5aCo also, the 2-hand war hammer here: https://youtu.be/BQjIdkeqBZU Subscribe to get notifications on the future videos, and in the meantime Keep Creating!
