Cowl help

[ThatOneDude2994]

Hey guys! Total noob here so sorry for potentially posting in the wrong thread.

Anyways, let me start off by saying I'm completely new to crafting and paper modeling, so I'm very inexperienced in this sort. Using pepakura, I assembled A Batman cowl. I'm proud of it so far. So now I need to some how reinforce it. Make it sturdier. And that's where I'm stumped. The cowl is tight, as I wanted, so I have made a incision to allow my head to fit. In order for that, it has to maintain flexibility otherwise I can't fit my head in.

So my question is how do I make this sturdy and durable while maintaining some flexibility?


Thanks in advance!

Edit: I forgot to mention that the model is made out of cardstock

You'll find more info in the costuming section, but I believe they use Plastidip spray for that kind of stuff.

Wow! That was fast. And thank you. Plastic dip is an excellent recommendation. I'll try it.
