That's cool I made mine with a few things around the house. A skinny tree branch, green ball, cardboard, plasti-Dip, and gold metallic spray paint

[@romanecampbell9684]

I love this .... easy and simple... thank you

[@CardboardCosplay]

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it.

As you can see I finished the mysterio helmet! The battle damaged thing looks better than I expected. Thanks for the tutorial.

Dude ur amazing road to 100k? Do you like the fnaf series would love to see you do a cosplay for it. Love the vids can’t wait to see what you’ll do next!

[@CardboardCosplay]

Haha I dunno about that... 100k is a huuuge number. Thanks though :)

[@ashleysturgill5809]

Gonna attempt to make this for photos for my 3 year old daughter. Can you possibly tell me about how long this took to dry? Also realizing I missed a step in the video when shopping and probably should have bought more masking tape 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@CardboardCosplay]

Oh sorry it took me so long to respond. It doesn't take too long to dry. I usually leave it to dry for an hour or two while I make lunch or dinner and it's always completely dry when I come back to it.

[@raphaeltheodore4663]

Hey Steven can I wrapped the entire staff including the egg piece foil with paper mache all of the staff

[@CardboardCosplay]

I haven't done it, but paper mache should work if you go slowly and do at least 2 or 3 layers. Allow each layer to dry before adding the next one. It might be tricky around the egg part where the vines connect, but I think it's possible. Let me know how it turns out. Good luck!

[@lizbaca6713]

What type of paint did you use?

[@CardboardCosplay]

Just regular craft paint. I have the brands Craft Smart and sometimes use Apple Barrel... they're both basically the same.

[@lizbaca6713]

thanks, yours looked nice and thick, whatever I have was pretty watery, took a couple of coats but looks pretty good, my kid loves it. @@CardboardCosplay

[@CardboardCosplay]

@lizbaca6713 Yeah, sometimes it takes a couple coats. I always have to do that for red, yellow, and purple....drives me crazy haha. I'm glad your kid likes it! Happy Halloween 🎃

[@raphaeltheodore4663]

Hi Steven can you share me a full perfect venom mask template thanks

[@CardboardCosplay]

Hi, sorry, I don't know if I still have it. I used a simple face covering that I cut up and built out to make the mask...so it wasn't just a template that immediately gets the right shape. It was similar to this mask, but I cut out a mouth and changed the eye shape. imgur.com/a/EdXvsFZ

[@toastedwoffles]

yo steven where are the new uploads❔😭

[@CardboardCosplay]

Hopefully soon! I think I'm going to start working on something this upcoming weekend/Monday.

[@Deadacount601]

[@CardboardCosplay]

I hope to upload more in 2020! The end of the year was busy and haven't really edited any of the videos I made :X

[@Deadacount601]
