A lot of these projects that i like to do are inspired from american youtubers, so it is always hard to find these materials in the EU. Little did i know that this youtuber that i watched is from germany! and she linked all these websites that i could check out<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I started with making a mockup on paper, each square is 2x2cm and i liked the look of that size so i instantly went with this. It was also easier for me in the long run to have the colored squares so i lightly colored them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After i made this mockup i started with cutting out the first shape. I did all this cutting free hand and looking back on it i used a ruler with the next pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">the part that took me longest was cutting all the squares for the middle layer. So&#8230; Many.. Squares. It was worth it! This made sure i could make it more 3D without wasting materials \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"

This primer makes sure that all the little holes in the foam close so that the paint will actually stick to it \ud83d\ude42 What i did not know was that i did not have any filler, i thought the primer was the same thing. After this &#8220;setback&#8221; i continued anyway, this was my first try and it shouldnt really matter how it looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the primer dried i first did a base layer of white paint. Painting the colors was super frustrating, i first did the brown. but after it drying it seemed wrong. I ended up using another brown and this one looked more like the brown from in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The blue was even trickier. I did a first batch of blue but this also didnt seem right. I took it with me to work to get the opinion of my local minecraft expert \ud83d\ude1b and he agreed with me that it was too blue. I ended up mixing blue with a little green and some silver, because my local minecraft expert said that it should be sparkly<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The end result is pretty good, and i decided to also make a sword so i could pair them. I did buy filler this time and some foam clay incase i need that for the sword \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3a88641f wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--9\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0556jpeg-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0556jpeg-edited.webp 1536w, https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0556jpeg-edited-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0556jpeg-edited-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0556jpeg-edited-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0556jpeg-edited-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--10\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1536\" src=\"https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0555jpeg-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0555jpeg-edited.webp 1536w, https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0555jpeg-edited-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0555jpeg-edited-1024x1024.webp 1024w, https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0555jpeg-edited-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/tailoryourdreams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/img_0555jpeg-edited-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been watching a lot of video&#8217;s about people making armor sets with EVA-Foam.
