Worbla: The Ultimate Thermoplastic for Cosplay, Crafting, and Model Making

Worbla is a non-toxic thermoplastic made from renewable resources, making it an eco-friendly and versatile material for cosplayers, prop builders, crafters, costume designers, and model makers. Its ease of use and ability to be reshaped make it a must-have for creative projects.

Why Choose Worbla?

  • Easy to Cut & Shape – Worbla cuts effortlessly with scissors and can be heat-formed using a heat gun or even a hair dryer.

  • Moldable & Reusable – When heated to 195°F, it becomes flexible and can be shaped by hand. Any excess material can be reheated and reused, resulting in zero waste.

  • Built-in Adhesive – Worbla has a shiny side and a rough side. When heated, the shiny side acts as a glue, bonding it to itself or other materials.

  • Versatile Finishing Options – Worbla can be:

    • Sanded for a smooth surface

    • Drilled for structural enhancements

    • Carved using a Dremel tool

    • Painted for final detailing

Endless Creative Possibilities

Whether you're sculpting detailed props, reinforcing costume pieces, or crafting unique designs, Worbla is the ideal material for hobbyists, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts.
