1. Starting with an idea
Do you have an idea for the mascot of your dreams? Send us an email or contact us by phone! At ARTUPMASCOTS, we can create a mascot costume using your own designs, or we can help you develop your idea and draw a mascot, which will bring your vision to reality and capture your audience!
2. Mascot design and specifications
Having received your idea and understanding your requirements, we provide a preliminary plan for your comments and any of your modifications. You have to rely on our experience to help you in this process, calculating all proportions which will always ensure maximum visibility and ventilation for the performer.
We then submit you a detailed financial quote, describing the materials, the suggested fabrics, delivery times and a contract.
3. First steps of creation
Having approved the final design, materials, and fabrics, you simply send a signed copy of the contract along with a deposit and your mascot creation will begin!
We first provide you with a 3D DRAFT so you understand, the basic structure, shape, and size of your mascot with unlimited upgrades, until you are satisfied.
Then we create your mascot from various types of rigid and flexible, lightweight foam, cut out to match the basic shape, using the final 3D DRAFT design as a guide.
Once the sculpture process is completed, we provide you with a first update with photos we send you by e-mail. At this stage you can still make small changes to some details, before they are covered with fabric or other finishing materials.
4. Techniques and materials
The mascot’s head is created with various types of foam, such as PE FOAM, EVA FOAM, ETHA FOAM.The adjustable inner helmet or foam supportive parts which may be placed, drives to ensure the mascot ’s stability.
We also use battery-powered ventilation fans, to bring fresh air to the performer.
In any case, we create conditions for maximum visibility, comfort, and functionality of your mascot.
The body and legs are made with similar techniques. A rubber sole is put on the feet and inside the suit, we place a sports antiperspirant breathable fabric to ensure that the performer will be comfortable.
Finally depending on the shape of the mascots body and the material used, plastic support parts can be added, such as pipes and valves.
5. Sewing & final adjustments
The final phase of creation includes covering the sculpture with fabric and making the custome. Welding and
specialized seams are made, emphasizing on detail, and countless man-hours are spent in order to create an end product that exceeds expectations.
We thoroughly test and check the mascot to ensure it works and fits perfectly, upholding our high product standards.
We continue publishing updates with progress of the project, until we receive the final approval before shipment.

Our mascots can be sent anywhere in the world.
We have secured the most reliable and efficient courier services, to ensure timely delivery of your mascot.
