DIY Plague Doctor Hat / How to Make a Plague Doctor Costume Tutorial and Template

[@cajunjoel]

Oh man, this is exactly the shape of hat I've been looking for... but for a Steampunk King of Hearts. :)

[@LostWax]

Hey Everyone!! Just thought I should mention that Cosplay Apprentice "What the Foam" has just been added to Amazon, but at this point it is just the flat packs that are available, though the rolls should be showing up very soon and will be at the same link. You'll need the roll because the pattern won't fit on the flat pack size. Also, currently it is only available in the U.S. store, so if you live somewhere else and click the link it will take you to whatever product Amazon thinks is most like it in your area, so just be aware.... I don't want to accidentally mislead you!

You might be interested in checking out TNT Cosplay Supply too! They're a great source for foam! :)

Indeed!!

Did you alter the plague mask? I can't remember the storage compartment and the filling hole.

[@LostWax]

Yeah, I added the little compartment for the video, it's not on the original pattern:)

[@carlables]

Sweet!!! I’ve been waiting for this. I’m super excited to get started. This looks like a perfect addition to the mask as is.

[@seed2520]

Thank you for this tutorial and I will wear this costume at school so I can prevent Corona Virus

[@sandwichman8u]

Good thing I have an Australian ruler prepared

[@LostWax]

Yep, it's good to keep a stash of them on hand. Otherwise you might be in for a long trip to the store....

[@NGOODYHERE100]

Another fab design. Love your work! If anyone is reading this, I recommend buying his big pack of patterns. There are loads in there and it saves so much money because once you buy one and make it, your guaranteed to want another one to have a go at!

[@LostWax]

Thanks for the promo!! I am glad the bundle has been good to you:)

[@F_Bardamu]

This was incredibly helpful for my plague curing daily routine.

[@jackvolta3489]

Hello Chris, I made the mask & several items using your instructions & they all came out spectacular & that steampunk version "takes the cake" with all those vials it will definitely add the finishing touch. Must add your accuracy is spot on, I really enjoy your mind and how you express it. 😜👍

[@GothLady1987]

I'm currently working on a 2nd hat for my Halloween costume (a fancy P.D.). I'm using 4mm Eva foam. It curls when cut, but hopefully it'd be sturdy once I've stitched (yes, stitched) the faux leather over it. I've also made like five masks (one for a friend) with the other pattern. These are amazing!

[@LostWax]

That is awesome!

[@Justrex01]

Very nice! And that foam looks amazing! I'll have to get me some and give it a try. Thanks, Chris!

[@LostWax]

It is great foam. It is very dense and it also holds its shape well when heated. I know I will be using it more in the future.

[@OnlyinUrMind]

Very cool. The hat turned out amazing and your instructions gets better and better...or maybe I haven't visited in a while. But as always thanks for sharing all your great ideas and work.

[@LostWax]

Hehe, thanks!!

[@JGomezabino]

love your channel brother.. i bought all your patterns lol well the wife bought them for me as a gift :) props

[@LostWax]

I'm glad you like it! And have fun with all the patterns😁

[@p11_studios]

Next, could you do maybe like a leather apron for this costume? One with slots to hold all you tools and vials

[@LostWax]

Hmmm, not a bad idea, I'll put it on the (long) list:)

[@xxblueberryxx7311]

I tried this for Halloween and it worked thanks so much without this I would have no costume:D❤️😊

awesome!!

[@miftahuljanah1208]

Awesome! You're welcome😁

[@alexanderstukalets]

Excellent work!!! It would be very interesting to see how You make a Roman centurion's helmet out of foam?

[@arcticsky2991]

Hey! Its been awhile since your last video :) I like them, good work on this. The Plaque Doctor nowadays is real creepy in an epic way!

[@LostWax]

Yeah, whenever I make a new pattern, it means a big gap between videos, just because of the time it all takes. My next one should be a lot quicker I hope😁 Thanks for watching and commenting!!

what is name of song in background?

[@stealthygremlin]

Hey, how big should the foam be in order to be able to make this hat? I don't know how big of a sheet to buy T-T

[@LostWax]

If you are making the largest size(which you probably aren't) you would need a sheet of foam 480 x 415mm (19" x 16 1/3") for the brim and top of crown, and a sheet 727 x 117mm (28.5" x 4.6") for the Band. That doesn't include the 2mm foam if you want to add any extra details. If you are making a smaller size, you can get away with slightly less foam.

@LostWax can you PLEEEEEEEAAASSSEEEEE make a SteamPunk Door. Patterns for the top of a standard door in ones home. PLEASE!!!!!

[@MrBored-zm9ww]

Little did he know, just in just a few weeks there will be a "plague".

[@Invasivegamer]

Ah yes, the pestilence will be cured, but first a hat-

[@davidhensley76]

The 4mm foam would be good to make a top hat.

[@LostWax]

Indeed, in fact I just had to try my top hat pattern with the foam and it turned out fantastic. and since the foam is black, I didn't even need to paint it. Because the foam is quite stiff, it's a little less comfortable on the head, but if it's a tiny bit big, I would add a little rim of softer foam around the inside.

[@davidhensley76]

@@LostWax firstpalette dot com has a pattern for a medieval crown made of paper & posterboard. It might translate well to foam & paint.

[@tinapage7290]

I’ve been trying to purchase the pattern and I’ve tried two different debit cards and PayPal and I get an error that my payment can’t be processed. Also, the foam in the link is for 7 sheets not a roll and it looks like it’s 8mm not 4mm.

[@LostWax]

Hey there, sometimes your computer will autofill part of your address in the discount box, which makes Gumroad think you entered an invalid coupon code and won't let you finish the transaction. Also could be worth trying a different browser. As far as the links go, it could be possible that "What the Foam" is sold out in the rolls.....it's probably pretty popular at this time of year. Course you could use other foam as if you can find some 4-6mm thick.

[@joaquimcastillaizquierdo783]

[@waynesharron5332]

Did you paint or primer this hat or as is , dont mess up kind of thing ?

[@LostWax]

This one I just used the black foam surface with no paint. Obviously I painted all the extra bits.

[@waynesharron5332]

@@LostWax thank you . Buy the way love the things you do

[@Khether0001]

Why did you choose hot glue instead of contact cement?

[@LostWax]

Mainly due to the toxicity of contact cement- I don't want people to use contact cement without proper respiratory protection, so I don't promote it too much.

[@thatonemonkey2521]

POV:you are watching this knowing you have none of the materials and are like yep I can make this

[@mr.asartspace6192]

Good morning, is there a way to contact you by email? I need to pick your brain concerning the thickness of the foam. Thanks

[@QueenBoadicea]

Some hats are called fedora, stovepipe, homburg, bowler, porkpie, Stetson, sombrero, Panama, et al. So what is the proper name for this hat? Plague doctor hat is a designation but not a proper term.
