How to Make a Muscle Suit! - by Creative Costuming

[@KingOfGaymes]

Can we just appreciate that this man who could’ve made so much money selling the template just made it available for free like what a hero

[@daveshorlz]

Crazy how this was shot 7years ago, and it's extremely useful to me right now. Thanks for the template, you're a hero. The explanation is soo succinct, and I'm not even a tailor or something like that. Thank you very much for this.

[@birdboy0013]

I doubt you’re going to see this but I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve been following your work and your tutorials since the days of the Batman cape. Recently I was able to take these skills to work with a local hospital and visit kids as some of their favorite superheroes. This is fantastic and I didn’t think I would be able to do this but you’ve made it possible. Thank you

It great to see that there are other Christian costumers out there, have a blessed day!

Thank you! I'm going to have to alter the mold slightly as I'm doing a female version of a character, but other than probably omitting the pecs and the abs, I'm very excited to have this! And to anyone who's wondering, Scott does say that you can use thicker foam for bigger characters (like 1-3 inches).

[@cajun_hawk]

Just found this video through another cosplayer. Wow, this is a great and simple way to make a muscle suit without breaking the bank! To all the people complaining about sewing, it really isn't that difficult. I've only been sewing for 3 years and I began by buying a machine and practicing when I had spare time. Anyway, thanks for the tutorial and the template! I'll be using this for a few cosplays I have planned out for next year. God bless!

[@troymcguire3593]

I think I've watched this video close to 100 times. I really like how lean this looks. Not too bulky. I am trying to create the best looking Classic Iron Man costume possible and may use this method for the yellow/gold arms and legs. Hoping this will work with a metallic/chrome fabric. Thank you Scott, I've been a fan for a few years now.

Thank you for making this video! I'm a somewhat new cosplayer (Been cosplaying for 2 years now), and I've just been scratching my head over how to achieve a more masculine cosplay since I am a smaller female with a very feminine shape. I'm definitely going to give this method a try!

Dont stop the weights but the suits are ment to give a tight skin fit suit but in reality wearing a tight skin suit wont show a rip chizzled look itl just stretch over everything giving you a flat look.

[@curtizjamezjackson111]

No thanks I would rather be strong then just look strong

[@hiddenusername7249]

😂😂😂

[@Beardshire]

I just spray glued the foam and stuck it on the shirt, then put the other shirt over that and sewed between the muscled so they wouldn't move, the pockets just seems to hard for me.

[@andrewnielsen2516]

Beardshire is it still washable that way?

[@KittyKaijuWorks]

@@andrewnielsen2516 yes, but it Is way more time consuming

[@taygarcelon3076]

If I were making a larger muscular arm, like something in-between Thor and The Hulk, would I follow similar instructions but use thicker foam? Would the spandex stretch over it or should I play around with leaving more room for the foam?

[@shaunnaslattery3937]

I would also like your input to this comment, please!

Thanks so much. Where I live we only have 1" foam so I'm going to give it a shot. I will credit you in my videos! Thanks so much, your like me, giving our templates away to help grow a homegrown cosplay Community. You get a sub!

Very cool need one in your size! We are probably about the same size! Only question I have is how do you have access to use the bathroom!

[@JonahTheWeeb]

When do you cut apart the individual muscles, that were together in the pattern? For example the fore arm pattern. Do you cut the pattern apart, the foam or after the foam was traced onto the bodysuit?

[@thet-shirtindustry5082]

This is genius. Pure genius. Definitely will try to do this before next comic con. One question, though: does this work with a store bought morph suit, or does it have to be the home made one? No hate on your one, but I don't exactly have the time or experience to make one of those.

[@ChibiSonikku]

If you want bigger muscles, do you just add thicker layer of foam or is there a some other way to do it? I think the edges of foam can be seen pretty easily if it's more than one layer..

[@louisjohnson5239]

This was so helpful, thank you so much

[@Maberuchan]

I just subscribed to you only because of this video. It is very easy because of the template!!! I will make other adjustments raking your method into consideration.

[@alessiocanducci2143]

if i paste the piece of foam on a suit, and above it do earing another, the result would be the same?

[@randphillips5228]

So what I'm thinking is taking a compression shirt, and gluing the padding to the compression shirt carefully, then wearing it underneath my Lyrica batman sub dye suit. Same with compression pants. Would the muscle be able to be seen? It's still the same concept of two spandex layers but I figured I'd ask your opinion. Will the denser foam give stronger bigger muscles as well? Great video it'll really give the edge to my batsuit.

[@ScottBayles]

Yes, you could do it that way, but it won't be machine washable and it won't be as durable. The denser foam with look like firmer muscles.

[@bunnybearme]

This is amazing, thank you! God bless.

[@olson_media]

So, obviously I can't print out your muscle template on paper and just trace it onto the foam...so do you by chance mind explaining how you were able to trace the exact proportions and measurements of muscles onto the foam? Because they are much bigger than printer paper size. Please explain, I really want to do this! Thanks :)

[@tristangore2729]

I use a program called Posterazor. Something like that. Basically allows you to print them to whatever scale you need. Might take a bit of tweaking, and overlapping after cutting, but should work.

[@brendahellenthal]

Thanks a bunch for this tutorial! I managed to make a suit to be able to (as a woman...) play the very manly Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. I turned it into a body though (with buttoned crotch) to be able to use the bathroom without having to completely undress. I also noticed that I am apparently too small for the muscles on the template. Shoulder muscles + upper arm muscles did not fit; they came past my elbow. So I had to tweak them a bit. For what length person are these? They seem to fit you fine.

[@bjornjardin574]

Thank you for the tutorial !!! I really love your Chanel because the tutorials are very easy to reproduce at home. I currently make my own batman suit, your cape tutorial helped me to find the good tissue and I will get inspiration from this tutorial for the muscle suit ! THANKS Can you explain in a next video how to make your Captain America helmet and Wolverine mask ?

[@WinSchutten]

If you have muscles, would makiing a smaller bodysuit work better to show them off?

[@nb_cash]

Is possible to use thicker foam if you wanted to add more bulk?

[@dave32228]

[@magicmyth2635]

this soo cool can you do shazam version of this video how can make a muscle suit with bigger muslces?

[@tgiacin435]

Do you have a template for bigger muscles, like if you were to do the Hulk, or something along those lines

[@ScottBayles]

No, but I think you could use the same muscle template. You're just want to use thicker foam. So instead of using 1/2 inch foam, you could try 1 inch or 1.5 inch.

[@justinharrison9839]

you are a talented man I have have a question for when I watch Superman the movie with Christopher Reeve and I look at his boots the boots look like the are made out of a nonslip tear resistant leather do you know where I can buy this material

[@kalenhouse]

have you ever considered gluing the foam to the white fabric first. then sewing the flesh tone fabric over the white. it might save some time and you'd get same results.

[@ScottBayles]

The only problem with gluing it is that the muscles won't be removable. Which also means, the bodysuit won't be machine washable. The glue won't breath either, so it would get hotter.

[@Pheonixf]

Question ( which I admit is silly ) but where do the lower and upper back pieced get placed there was no back diagram with your template
