Hey Cosplayers, I am Skyler Ostler and in today Apprenticeship I'll be teaching you
how to make Wonder Woman's skirt from the live action Wonder Woman Film using Craft
foam and a pair of spanks stay tuned!
Before we jump into it, I created a Wonder Woman Cosplay guide for you, complete with
reference images, poses, origin, costume components, and much more!
And the best part is, it is completely free, just follow the link below
to get yours!
Also I have created a kit that includes all the necessary materials for this build and
the links of where to purchase them to make this build as easy as possible check out that
link in the description as well!
Alright, let's get started!
We'll begin by creating the patterns for the four sets of panels that hang down on the
skirt, front sides, and back.
Youll want to start by putting on the breastplate that I taught how to make in a past video
and a pair of spanks, trace along the belt onto the spanks as a reference for gluing.
Then use some painters tape to trace out the front panel of the skirt you can choose how
long you are comfortable with.
Each panel will be made of two pieces, one wider piece and a skinnier piece layered on
top of it that runs longer than the wider bottom layer.
Trace them out on the painters tape and then cut them out.
If you want to do what I did, I just used this front panel pattern to create the left
and right panels and only drew out the back panel as a separate template, but you can
draw them all separately if you'd like.
After you have the main 4 panel patterns created you will then want to create one for the side
using the same method.
Wonder Woman's skirt has these two overlapping leather pieces that run across the hip overlapping
the side panel and slightly overlapping the front and rear panels.
Once you have your panel patterns created, it's time to transfer these shapes over to
the craft foam.
Trace your patterns onto the black 2mm craft foam, it's important to use the black craft
foam as it will save you lots of time when it comes time to paint.
I have the craft foam I used listed in the materials kit linked in the description.
Then cut all of your skirt panels out of the foam, making sure to keep the front and back
pieces of each panel together with their proper pairs.
Next, we need to make this craft foam look like leather to really sell the Wonder Woman
Amazon warrior look!
If you want to see how to do that, pause this video and check out my How to Make Foam look
like Leather video linked above and below!
Then come back here and we'll continue!
Alright, welcome back, now that you have successfully performed the miracle of turning foam to leather,
let's take your leatherworking skills to the next level and begin assembling the skirt
together!
Now let's put them all together, You'll begin by attaching each of the panel pairs together.
By adding about an inch wide spread of contact cement along the top backside of the longer
skinnier piece and a matching spread of contact cement along the top front of the larger underlayer
piece.
Let the contact cement sit for about 5-10 mins (as per bottle instructions) and then
press the two pieces together, repeat this process for each of the four main panels.
Before we move forward take the rear panel and a razor and slit the rear panel under
piece along the lines of the skinnier top layer so that it looks like this.
Once all of the 4 main panels are assembled we will add them to the spanks.
This is where the breastplate belt reference lines you made earlier will really come in
handy.
Adding an inch wide spread of the contact cement to the back top of each panel and a
corresponding strip along where you want to attach it, attach the front, sides, and rear
panels.
Now lastly, add the overlapping side pieces in the same way with a strip of the glue along
the top of each and matching strip of glue where it will go and then attach it.
Make sure to put the lower piece on first and then overlap the upper piece after.
Tadum!!!!
You know have the completed structure of the skirt, now you just need to give it some battle
damage and that slight blue sheen that Wonder Woman's skirt has.
The way I did that was using some metallic blue automotive paint.
Spray some good coats of it on and kind of wipe away parts of it to dull it slightly.
I also did some subtle dry brushing with a Rustoleum light blue in some spots to add
a little more dimension.
VOILA!
You did it!
There is no skirting around the fact that this is one Very Legit Wonder Woman Gladiator
Skirt!!
Nice work!
