I am making an Astrid Cosplay as well. Here are some tips I picked up.

For Weapons: Use EVA foam. It is generally found in workout mats. Use a contact cement to hold it together. I use the DAP Weldwood Contact Cement. You can buy it at Walmart for $8.00.

For Armor: Depending on the thickness use either craft foam of EVA foam. For Hiccups bracers I would recommend a mix of both. Note: Do not use contact cement on craft foam as it is not as strong as EVA foam!

For Clothing: Either make your own or go to a thirft store or clothing store to find what you need.

Good Luck!
