I recently made these HUGE falls that consisted of approximately:
6 sheets of 18x12" (A3) craft foam, cut into 1.25" strips.
2 sheets of 9x12" (A4) craft foam, cut into 1.25" strips.
Craft foam was also used for decorations.
40 doubled over pieces of 24" rexlace.
12 doubled over pieces of 18" 2.5mm smooth tubing.
12 doubled over pieces of 14-18" long large crin.
10 doubled over 18" long hair twists.
4 pieces of 18" 1/4" corrugated tubing.
4 pieces of 6" 1/4" corrugated tubing.
They were constructed by layering foam (my hush hush method), then creating a row on one elastic with the twists in between the pieces of foam. I tied rexlace together to keep the foam from sliding off the elastic. I then tied rexlace around the middle of two piece of crin (colour coordinated to be placed in certain spots), along with the smooth tubing and tied it all behind the foam. I made another layer of foam on another elastic. I tied those together and added them to the back of the first layer (with the twists and crin). I then anchored the two layers together by tying rexlace between them and brought them together with twists on both elastics (like in Delic's layering dread falls tut).
(This is a different fall, consisting of foam only, but you'll get the idea of what I did as this set of falls is secret until I release it officially).
Yeah, so the ones I described, they're freaking huge. Surprisingly light, but huge.
Yeah, you need quite a lot of stuff (hence why I charge so much).
I also find that foam is a lot cheaper coming from overseas. I just add it to whatever I'm ordering and I save because it doesn't add much to postage and they're really cheap. Plus, I can't find any foam here anyway
