Crafting a TANKARD with EVA FOAM - Cosplay and LARP propmaking tutorial

How to build a badass tankard that looks super cool as a prop and is even allowed as a throwing weapon at most LARP groups?
In this video I show you how I made my own tankard prop using only EVA foam and a tiny bit of foam clay.
I hope the techniques I show in this video will be helpful for your own projects! Everyone needs a foam tankard. You know it's true.

No Henny's were harmed while making this video. The tankard is made with soft EVA foam after all ;) A special thanks goed out to Henny who wanted to star in this video wearing his LARP garb!
