I know this is not the most "DIY" method for horn building, as it does require some tools and space to make a mess ^_^
But it is an excellent way to go about getting fully smooth and incredibly lightweight horns
I will be sure to create more horn tutorials in the future that are more user friendly I promise.
As stated at the beginning, please do be careful when carving, especially if you're not accustomed to using an exacto knife (I have cut myself many times carving insulation foam haha)
Also, I apologize for random shaky cam and the random in and out of focus...I had a lot of video issues sadly. I clearly need to work on recording builds, as they are still a little tricky for me to figure out
I hope this can be helpful; for some of you and please feel free to ask if you have any questions!

I say this with love, never cut towards yourself.
It takes an awkward minute teaching yourself, for a happy lifetime without awkward scars. :-)
+o0Avalon0o Haha I know , you are SO right. I've been trying to get better at carving away from myself, but it just feels like such better control forwards..... (Not a good excuse though - I know better ^.^ ) I'll keep practicing! :D
I don't think that's true with carving when It comes to peeling potatoes or whittling you would carve inwards
@@ohgolly8854 It’s true for any sharp tool, always carve it away from yourself.
@@cryptid414 I'ma need you to go look up how to properly use a drawknife.
Darling please be careful! These horns are beautiful but please dont cut towards yourself. Great job though
I am not sure if this was said or not, but when carving this foam it is very important to wear a ventilator mask as these tiny dust particles are extremely toxic. It is actually much safer to carve foam with a hot wire knife as the fumes released from them are not toxic in a well ventilated area though i do still wear a mask any time I carve/cut my foam.
Officially the coolest thing on UA-cam! Now everyone I know is going to have a set of homemade horns to wear for whatever they choose. Because everyone needs a set of horns to wear. ;)
Warnings NOT included: This foam is highly static and makes terrible noises when cutting.
Ceramic knives from a craft store are highly effective and be sure to never cut towards any part of your body.
Yes that. The cutting towards like in the video is how I put a wood carving tool through my thumb.
Thank you
Hi there! Thanks so much for your very skilled tutorial. Im a body painter and needed horns for a faun character but wanted them on the cheap. Followed your method and whilst yours look much better than mine, I'm happy with the result and it will definitely do the trick xxx
I'll be using this technique for my tavros cosplay! Thanks for the tutorial. I've been looking for something like this for a while, as I don't like using clay or squishy foam. And hopefully I could use this for more trolls in the future! If you are wondering, the characters I'm cosplaying are from a webcomic called Homestuck.
THANK YOU for an amazing video that shows us what we want to see and what you have to offer with out all the tedious nonsense. Your work is great. Again, thank you for your great craftsmanship and for not boring the crap out of us with frivolity. LOVE your work, exactly what I was looking for.
Haha very happy to hear the tutorial wasn't too drawn out and easy to follow ^_^
*413'000 homestuck fans come stampeding in*
True omg
Time for cosplay
I wish you were wrong
kankri vantas KANKRI HAY,, IM COSPLAYING YOU
Ha
I did watch this video so I could do Aradia >_
Hi there, Thank you so much for showing us all the work that goes into making these horns, I had absolutely no idea how many stages and the length of time it must take you to make these horns. It shows how dedicated you are to bring us as accurate interpretation of a character as you can make it. It's not always just about the make up. Although this make up is amazing...... Much love and hugz 🌹🎄🕊🌹🎄🕊🌹🎄🕊xxxxxx
+Elaine Howard Haha yea this one you can kind of follow how many days I worked on them based on my clothing changes XD
I loooove prop making when I can get the time for it, and if it can help bring a character to life it's so much better! ^.^
I just hope to get better at filming DIY vids
I'll be trying this out for this Halloween! I can't wait to try! I live your work!
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I wish I could carve as skillfully!
I love this tutorial! Your crafts are amazing 👌👌 (But I just wanted to give you a heads up, I know a lot of people recommend wearing a respirator mask while sanding insulation board because it has fiberglass in it and it can really jack up your lungs)
Thankfully my dad works at fixing things and has 3 massive toolboxes at home and he can help me so I don't, you know, die
thanks for the tutorial! you explain very well!
I'm watching this at 9/15/2016 and I really wanted to have the RAM Horns for fashion and daily accessories. I mean why not freak the people out when they are in doubt. :) Waaaahh I have to buy a sand roller to be able to put it in one. Waaaaaaaaahhh! I love this!
doo itt!!!
I would. Hihi
Everything that you do is amazing
Its amazing! i love your work. Keep going!
I love this tutorial! I've been searching around for a good horns tutorial and I think I've finally found it! Just one question, how much did these horns cost to make all together?
That's so awesome! Thanks so much! I'm doing Loki and for like a year I couldn't figure out how to do the horns!
That sounds awesome link me a pic pls. Loki be fav villan!
love this! Your craving skills always fascinate me. It is something that always daunts me.
+Hew91 We it's even more fun with giant swords and massive props ;D haha
+NsomniaksDream oh I remember you making your sword for black gold saw. so much foam
You just saved me from making paper mache horns. Thanks. ♥
beautiful work!!
Hi there! I’m following this guide to make my horns. But when I glued the two foam boards together I have a gap in some spots. Do you have a suggestion on how to fix that?
Also what blade are you using to cut the foam?
love this tutorial, im going to do this onto my headphones
That sounds awesome!
mistquest No one gave you permission to read my mind.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
incredible !
Perfect for my Pan’s Labrynth costume for next year
Great job!
I have access to a hot foam cutter. I can see that it would save me a lot of time in cutting the foam for this project. I like that these horns would be very lightweight.
I absolutely lovvvvve your creativity!!!😍😍😍😍🙌
+L Michelle Thank you so much!
Welcome girly😊☺
Although this is way too awesome, itll be way to much work for me that in not an artist. But i do do my horn with foil paper, cotton, paper towels, hot glue, two different colors of spray paint, and onix glitter! Also added some led lights. They look pretty cool. Almost look enchanted!
Amazing!!
awesome work
+Tamara Santos Thank you so much!
So helpful!!!
who else wishes they can do this, but only watches it even though you can't do anything like this.
CreativeCrepeOwO ME!
I’m actually am going to do this! For a puppet I’m making. Don’t doubt yourself, just try making a pair! :3
I have nothing to make it with!
Amazing!!!!!!😍😍😍😍
Wow its so cool
I watched this before I made my horns and when I didn't have the material I gave up but thEN I FOUND SOME AT MY SCHOOL AND BOUGHT IT AND NOW I HAVE HORNS YAY
I'm glad you were able to find what you needed to make them :D
Thank you so much it really will help for my costume
I just made dragon horns following your steps and I have to ask..... how do you get them to stay upright and not fall back?! I'm going to add another headband, but how did you do it???
Great video! The end result is really amazing, kudos! :D
I do have a question though. :) I haven't attempted using Insulation Foam before and through my personal experience have been told that insulation is harmful and should be handled with gloves / a mask, but I noticed you didn't wear either. Is this Insulation Foam you purchased safe to handle with bare hands like you do in your video? I've tried doing research but nothing actually states "wear protective clothing, etc". It would be super helpful if you could answer this for me, thank you! :D
it's safe its just foam :)
I think what you were reading about is just traditional insulation which is a fiberglass like material that can cause irritation to the body. I would wear a dust mask or respirator if your going to sand this foam regardless.
Hey, can I use mod podge on the horns as a water sealant?
Edit: Never mind
these are amazing girl! What type of exacto was that?! That looks heavy duty. I need it!
I believe the brand was Stanley. I got it from Canadian Tire ^_^
what type of foam specifically cuz fiberglass would be bad
I love it >w
I'd love to do something like this but I can't stand head bands of any type touching my skin for any length of time.
Haha I totally get that - they give me headaches sometimes after too long and drive me crazy.
You could always attach these to hair clips as well individually, or if you're wearing a wig you can use magnets to attach them underneath the netting :)
Magnets! I never thought of that! Thank you!
I wonder if I could use floral foam for this?
amazing hand
Wow!!
Hi; I live in Peru and I'm trying to figure out where the heck to find foam that will work for crafts (other than the thin one used for kids crafts I have my caserito for that). What would this type of foam look like in the store as a product/does anyone know a possible translation in spanish to see if I can search the hardware stores. (I've just always wanted to make horns y'all; I have like 3 cosplays I really wanna do and all 3 require horns)
You should have so many more subscribers then you do!!! , you are amazing
+Elka rut ♥ Thank you so much, I really appreciate it ^_^
WHY HAVEN'T HOMESTUCK COSPLAYERS COME UP WITH THIS SOONER INSTEAD OF CRAPPY AIR DRY CLAY????
Castiel Lalonde because we're Homestuck cosplayers! TBH though, I've got some pretty wicked air dry horns, but I definitely will be using this method for both of my megido cosplays
thats a really good craft knife! do you know what brand it is? also great tutorial ^^
I believe it's an OLFA brand knife. I know I got it from Canadian Tire if that helps at all :D
ah! thanks alot for replying!
OMG!! would you be able to make a pair of horns for my cosplay?? if i tried, i would get so frustrated..
Do you have any suggestions for horns that have to be twisted into a curve? The problem is that from a top down perspective like your initial outline the horn overlaps itself.
Hmm this method would be hard for a full curl horn. It is possible but the template and cut out phase require more 3D carving. I think a dremel would be very needed for it ^_^
Wow
nice!!!
+Christina BlackFeather Thank you! :)
I am quite curious if I can hot glue the two pieces of foam together would that make it harder to cut?
Butter Spice2 Hot glue will make it trickier to cut as the knife will get caught on the dried glue while carving. You also run the risk of it melting the foam when it's hot unfortunately
Can't find the insulation foam anywhere! T-T But still searching! Can't wait to try this wonderful tutorial!!!
Aww I'm sorry :( I get mine at Home Depot or RONA near me....I'm not sure for other places in the world though
Floral foam can also work (not the mushy stuff but the stiff light green foam) :)
Thank you so much! I will give floral foam a try!
bit late but try building supply shops or warehouses. they have it for insulating houses and such and is cheap. also check skips (dumpsters) as builders and construction sites can throw away massive amounts of the stuff and you can build a lot of things out of it from horns to wargaming terrain to canoes! :)
DreddPirate Bob Thanks! I already started though and it's coming out great! I'll keep what you said in mind for sure because it took forever for me to get the materials I needed 😂
Keirstin LaGrone you could use extruded polystyrene
anyone know what kind of knife that is?
Could I use silver instead of gold? And if I wanted a more monochromatic look, what could I use instead of Brown?
+Wren Marxen Of course! You can use absolutely any color of paint! These are just what suited my creature
Silver, black, grey and white would give you a monochromatic look in that shade range ^.^
Woah
I HAVE AN IMPORTANT QUESTON ! please help :3 What hardness of the foam do I need for these horns ? (Sorry for my English)
Hmm I'm not sure the exact hardness
I use insulation foam board, but floral foam also works (the light green kind not the mushy stuff haha) :)
Insulation foam board should come in pink or blue options at hardware stores
when is the ear tutorial coming? they look really good
+GoldenVulpes Sorry I was fighting with a corrupted file - will be up tomorrow! ^_^
Is this foam light to use? Or is it on the heavier side?
Very lightweight - it's similar to floral foam ^_^
can you think of a good alternative to the insulation foam ??
A little late, but you can maybe use the green blocks of flower foam?
it works great!
Exactly how strong is this foam? Because it seems like the tip could easily get deformed
It is good at holding it's shape but yes, it would be similar to a greater density Styrofoam so if you smashed the tips they would probably break.
For true stability I would recommend covering the horns in a thermoplastic like Worbla :)
@@NsomniaksDream Alright
Is there any way to do the divots in the horns without using that knife...sandpaper tool thing..(I don’t know what it’s called..) cause I don’t own one 😅
Yea you can make those with the sandpaper wrapped around a brush like I did secondly :D
I will take a bit longer but totally possible to get the same results without the dremel
NsomniaksDream, okey dokey! Thanks for respond so fast.
Is there anything else I can use for making the indents on the horns? I don't have enough money to get a dremil by still really want to do this
It takes a bit more time but you can just use sandpaper wrapped around a pencil or marker with different grits, and makes the indents that way. The curve shape will help the indents stay smooth as you move down :)
+NsomniaksDream Ok tysm I will try that. (I'm super excited to do this for Halloween!)
- Neko - if you wrap the sandpaper around a pencil (or something else round bigger or smaller depending on the size you want) and then run it in the grooves it works just as well.
hey, just wanted to suggest something, coming from someone who is also tight on money... if you have facebook there are usually local buy sell trade groups! you can find a dremil super cheap on one of those pages. I got a dremel with like 200 attachments in a toolbox for 30 bucks! stay thrifty :)
hermoso
this looks perfect! can you post a tutorial for the make up please? it looks so cool!
She alrdy did
+Kassandra Castle Gah! You're right I forgot to post a link - I added it to the description box though ^_^
+NsomniaksDream oh sorry I didn't saw it! thank you ♡
a nubian goat? ASRIEL TORIEL AND ASGORE!
All the cosplay!
How much would it cost to buy a pair premade?
Sunny you can buy some on amazon for around $18
I have a question about the thickness. 2 inches seems way to small! Is this measurement correct??
Hmm I can't be sure now since I made these a while ago...
You may be right in them being thicker - They could have possibly been 1 1/2" sheets to make a total of 3"?
I just know they're not the 2" boards as those have a visible demarcation line in them. If you prefer the ability to cut down more, though, I always suggest going larger with the foam, or adding extra layers. That way you have a buffer ^^
Ended up making these for our production for Wicked but with different colours. Turned out awesome! Thank you for the video!! Also used your makeup look for as a base point for ours
Modge Podge?
How much did the horns weigh?
Next to nothing, they are incredibly light weight :)
Neato! I made a pair out of wire and celluclay and spray painted them gold when I was finished. They weigh probably half a pound total. I'll be using your tutorial for this makeup tonight!
How u do the ears aswell?
+karly rose I will have that video up next! :D
+NsomniaksDream Do tell! :D
+Brandon Porter Haha ok my video may have got corrupted but I have been working to fix the footage promise! ^^ Srry
NsomniaksDream Awesome! I think the idea for the foam board insulation is going to work out perfect for the style of horns I want to make, but I'm still somewhat baffled by how to make the ears I want. Looking forward to seeing the video, if you can get it fixed!
I love it I wish you can make me one
You should try a draw knife. Or a spokeshave
Okay. I'm getting frustrated. I have all the materials needed to make this and I've attempted to do it. Twice. But for some freaking reason I can't carve into it. Or even glue it on right. Why didn't it work??? I have the insulation foam and every time I've tried to glue two of the prices together it won't stay. I've even placed some heavy speakers on it to press it close to make sure it would stick and it didn't work!! Then, when I gave up and tried to carve into it anyways, thinking I could maybe glue it on later, it was all choppy and shitty and it wouldn't carve easily like it did for you. What am I doing wrong?? I'm getting frustrated.
I honestly don't know why the spray adhesive wouldn't work....I've used it for years without any problems.
The only other glue I've ever used with foam is regular Elmer's white glue and let it fully set for a day or so to fully bond the pieces. For carving the foam itself, I always have multiple blades available since foam dulls a blade incredibly fast, and you need the sharp edge to make the cuts smooth.
Keeping the cuts shallow as you move along often helps me as well from having the blade catch and make a choppy cut
i used this and its a pretty great tutorial but it ended uo stabbing myself in the leg halfway through and had to stop for a while lol
awesome i will contact business purpose soon
This again proves the difference between a MUA that only used make-up and someone so talented to not only create incredible works of art on a moving 3D canvas plus makes hoorns and all other art by using the most diverse materials you can think of. So l think that who does make-up and facepaint and some bodypaint too plus also makes all accessories her- or himself should have a totally different titel then just MUA ????
Nancy's Love For Make-Up Nancy Baeken what would you have in mind
FXUA or SFXA or BADASSFX lol
Seriously though. Why not create a term.
Asriel Dreemurr anyone? No? Just me
? Okay....
All the cosplay!
Nope~! Me too! :D
UNDERTALLLLLLEEEEEEE
Chloe Peterson OMG THATS A GREAT IDEA : all undertale fans come running in :
I NEED to make this for Asriel Dreemurr cosplay!
Create Foxy ;-;
Mod pogo is just pea glue
Quit cutting toward yourself!
a long assed way of doing this when there are much simpler methods tbh
I know a much easier/less dangerious/cheaper way to do this with a cooler result
+Aliah Clayton share?
do you have a Etsy store where we can buy the things you make?
My Etsy currently just sells prints of my drawings, but I hope to have pieces like this for sale in 2017 ^.^
