DEMON SLAYER MASK BUILD - Cosplay Tutorial with FREE Template

In this video, I show how to make Sabito and Makomo’s warding masks from the anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba with FREE printable PDF templates made by yours truly (linked below)! The video goes through the step-by-step process of constructing the masks using EVA foam along with painting and other finishing touches. There’s also a small preview of Tanjiro’s mask *wink wink*.
After months of work, I finally get to show off the completed Demon Slayer mask builds! I absolutely love this show so it only makes sense that my first ever tutorial video would feature props from one of my favorite moments in the anime. Having just seen Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train, I still riding a serious Demon Slayer high, so this probably won’t be the last build I do from the show.
Also, if you didn’t see my first Demon Slayer video, feel free to check that out. It shows how I made the mask template that I use in this video.

Finally, a homemade mask from one of my favorite animes! No more paying about $160 for a mask that breaks within a few cosplays.

[@puppyknightprops4376]

This comment made me really happy. Yes, I can attest the mask can survive a few drops on the floor and most of the cost comes from the amount of work you put into it!

[@orion.v2462]

Or you know...... You could buy a 3D printer and filament for 200 and print all kinds of things along with the mask.

[@povwriter]

@@orion.v2462 True, but I find it very refreshing to create something with my own hands, use it, and then be proud of what I did!

[@jen-zv6wt]

@@orion.v2462 Some people can't afford a 3D printer, those things are hella expensive

[@aydensucks4121]

Uhhh you can buy it for 10 bucks on Amazon

I feel if you continue doing these types of videos you’ll eventually become a very popular KZbinr. I know that my friends and I go to KZbin to find prop videos easy for normal people like us to follow

[@puppyknightprops4376]

You have no ideas how happy this comment makes me! I love watching tutorial videos from more popular creators like Kamui Cosplay and Punished Props, which inspired me to start make my own videos.

[@NekoKuro-il8rz]

I love this! Not to mention if someone wanted to make a custom mask they could just decorate the mask differently. I'd love to do a crossover of these masks with my favorite game Twisted wonderland.

[@puppyknightprops4376]

Great point; I’d love to see some custom masks!

“Guys i swear im smart i just do dumb things sometimes” Shouldve been my yearbook quote..

[@athyobelia851]

I was sad when she showed the masks ready on the floor, I imagined them in the anime, symbolizing the death of both students

[@puppyknightprops4376]

Oh no, I didn’t think about that :,(

[@clementine1169]

Omg your tutorial seems so easy to follow even though I’m not making the masks atm because I don’t have the proper materials. I have a feeling you’re going to be very popular if you keep making these types of videos or even if you don’t! You seem like a very likable person.

[@D4v0z]

a few weeks ago I was searching for a DIY of those masks, and I dont know how I didnt find your video, I don't know if it is because of the title or if it is just youtube messing with creators, but man, the masks look so perfect, I dont know if I would call it a diy because I dont think mere mortals like me can achieve such a great result

[@puppyknightprops4376]

Don’t know why it didn’t show up, but thank you so much! You’re giving me way too much credit though. I spent way too much time trying to fix seams and there I still imperfections you just can’t see on camera. An important part of cosplay is realizing that most people won’t notice all the imperfections you notice.

Holy ____, that is a good mask you made. If I pick any mask you make is full frontal, perhaps Mcgillis fareed since full frontal mask looks a bit tricky to make.

Some people use foam floor mats instead of Eva foam, though they tend to have more imperfections than Eva foam. Just make sure to wear a mask that can filter out toxic fumes if you plan to try it.
