Fosshape

Fosshape offers reinforcement and stiffness for everything from millinery, masks, clothing and props. Fosshape is sold by the yard, so you can purchase it for small details, like creating a stiff collar on a jacket, or grander creations that require fabric “sculptures.” It can be cut and sewn into costumes and is heat activated.  Easy!

Wonder flex

If you’re looking for something tough and flexible, Wonderflex will get the job done. It can be used for masks, props and scenic materials, and is easily painted with a number of gesso, bond0, artisan coatings and paint. It’s also a great tool to reach for in the instance of repairs or modifications. It’s so tough and moldable that it can be used to create virtually any shape and thickness. Having Wonderflex on hand sets you up for success.
