Making your own stenciled designs on cosplays (also very useful for applying cutie marks): I learned a technique very useful for those that don't want to buy embroidered patches and it still makes your cosplay look awesome. It also saves a little bit of money too.

Things you will need:

At home printer and regular printer paper

exacto knife

thin crafting foam sheets

adhesive fabric glue and possibly Qtips to apply the glue on the foam and cosplays

1. So first you'll just need to find a stencil image like this right here we'll use Anna from frozen as an example. Print out whatever design stencil you need.

2. Using an eXacto knife cut out the stencil design on your thin craft foam sheets (side note: you might wanna find a cutting board in case you cut up something you shouldn't or you need a solid flat surface). I used glitter foam since I thought it adds a little more beauty to a cosplay but you can use plain ones as well.
