How to build a beer keg that looks super cool as a prop and is even allowed as a throwing weapon at most LARP groups? And that's not all.. This cool beer barrel prop is also secretly a bag! IT HAS POCKETS! And that's great for cosplay because we all know that we mostly don't have a lot of storage spaces with our costumes...
In this video I show you how I made my own EVA foam beer keg bag prop.
I hope the techniques I show in this video will be helpful for your own projects!

No Henny's were harmed while making this video. The keg is made with soft EVA foam after all ;) A special thanks goed out to Henny who wanted to star in this video wearing his LARP garb!
