I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such a simple and concise tutorial! I wanted to make something special for my friend to wear for her bachelorette party; I know she loves antlers and flower crowns so I ended up combining the two and added some LEDs to make the flowers glow! She loved it so much but what I loved the most was the fact how sturdy the antlers turned out to be! She got so many compliments on her special night!
Keep up the good work, I'm a huge fan of your channel! ^__^
I am so excited for your friend and so happy you found the tutorial helpful! The addition of the LED lights sounds amazing, I bet the final results were stunning!
What if instead of chains u use led lights or fairy lights!
my Halloween costume is going to be a demon with antlers just like a dear.
this looks to be the easiest and most accurate to what i need

Try sewing or gluing a couple hair clips ( the type they have on hair pieces), to the underside of the hair band. They can grip the hair and help to hold it in place.
I have a heavy sugar skull crown I’m thinking of
Doing the hair combs all around and attach a band under? Is their any videos showing securing head pieces?
This reminds me of Keyleth's antler headdress and would be a really good way to make it, just changing the angle and placement of the antlers.
This is such an amazing video! I really appreciate all the detail you went into. Feeling very inspired 💞👏🏻👏🏻
Can I paint my antlers with acrylic paint or do I need spray paint?
Those are so beautiful even just with the tin foil and the you got to the gold gradient and I was so amazed how beautiful this is and the flowers really bring it together and you don't even have to and the flowers I think it would look just as good with the just the chain hanging of it. This headpiece is BEA-U-TI-FUL 💜👍👍👍💜
Im doing this for Halloween this year..you make it so simple and easy!! You did an amazing job,
so beautiful!!
my friend is useing this for hiveswap for the guy with antler horns
omg same. I'm sure you could even get model magic foam/clay stuffs and glue it to the headband it's self
Thank you for this brilliant tutorial. I made these antlers decorated with a feather centrepiece for my daughter. She loves them!
Me: "It looks easy"
Me 3 freaking hours later: OMFG I HATE PLASTER BANDAGE HFOSBEJFBD
Also realized i used 16 gauge wire instead of 14......O-O
I did it for myself! It was incredible. Thank you very much for the wonderfull tutorial !!!
I'm so happy you were able to use this!! I bet you look super magical ^_^ Hehe
I thought I put a lot of work into my creations but you went INNNN!! SO INSPIRED I LOVE IT XOX
Haha you DO put in a long of work to your creations and they are phenomneal!
Thank you so much!
Because of this tutorial, I scored an A- (92%) on my final art project. Thank you so much for this very thorough tutorial!
This is absolutely gorgeous! It's easy and cheap.. Can't wait to try it!
Wonderful! I especially like the chains and the chosen paint colours.
ThankYou so much! You save my deer costume! Greetings from Colombia! :D
This is perfect for my Louis (Beastars) cosplay. Thank you so much!!
Beautiful craft-man ship brings out the enchantment deer
I'm planning on making Robert Baratheon's armor and I wasn't sure how to make stag antlers for the helmet, but now I know. Thanks for posting this!
Cool video. Going straight to my accessory tutorial list
im going to do this but as a full plaster mask. thank you for your inspirations!!!
That sounds awesome! I'm sure it will turn out amazing :D
I started making my mask and I love how it's turning out. thank you so much for this video and your inspiration!
lol I know what my next Halloween costume is gonna be! I probably would make it look just a bit more natural? Without the flowers and the necklace stuff. An I might make the antlers maybe a bit bigger. But I love it so much! I am feeling very inspired!
My problem was I had antlers already I just needed to somehow put them on a headband. I had a pretty good idea now after watching this thanks mate! :D
Can I do this without the flowers? Cause I'm cosplaying Sam from supernatural for halloween.
Kel Matsuoka I wonder if it would also work for the ravenstag
Kel Matsuoka gurl yess that sounds amazing ✨
Kel Matsuoka no
Kel Matsuoka I new I would find someone that watches supernatural in the comments
Kel Garrett im going as a windigo
WOW, that is very beautiful and creative , I would love to make that !!
Just a tip, antlers usually go a bit backwards when growing out the head, and some (like with deer) then curve forward. But that's just if you're looking for something super realistic!
You always have cool music in your videos
que hermoso trabajo haces. me siento feliz de haber encontrado tu canal, me va a servir muchìsimo!!
Amazing! It looks so realistic! Great job! 👏👏👏
This is so helpful because a character I really want to cosplay has antlers and I can’t seem to find any antlers that look exactly how the characters antlers are
I made one to wear at Christmas and it looks amazing!!!
Those look great! I'm a little confused as to why you added the chains, though. It kind of seems to contrast with the forest spirit vibe.
Haha to me they more reflected an idea of cobwebs interlacing through the antlers
But also because I just like the look of them ^_^
That makes sense :)
instead of chains you can put fake vines and moss that would look extraordinary
whoa. cool. I'm going to make these one day
This is so handy! I could easily make this with my mom without her saying "This costs too much I'm not buying those items for you" ♡w♡
WOW! MY FRIEND WOULD LOVE THIS EVEN MORE THAN I DO!!! SHE LOVES ANIME AND ANTLERS!!! :)
I absolutely have to try this.
this is amazing!! definitely gonna do something like this for my keyleth cosplay
WILL TRY THIS. SUPER CUTE!!
I am following this tutorial to make dragon horns. haha!

Thanks for making this video! I’ve been trying to find out how to do this.
Aesthetically pleasing
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this!!
This is amazing!!! So excited to try - THANK YOU!
Thank you so so much! This is the cheapest variant for me, holy deer! ♡
Wow, That amazing.
Nice and elegant..
Gorgeous!
So pretty!
Omg is buy these for no reason😍
kinda wanna make this for a drag costume lol
do ittttt!!
YAS
YASSS DRAH
DO IT!
Yesssssssss
do you think air dry foam clay (crayola) would work for the horns in place of the foil/tape/plaster combo?
Again super late response but air foam clay is known for cracking pretty hard core so even tho it may be lighter, it may not be the best choice.
Can you please tell me how heavy is the headpiece at the end?
It should be around a pound. The flowers are light as well as the aluminum and not a whole lot of wire was used. Idk about the plaster, though.
This is so beautiful and awesome good job🌟🌟🌟
Thank you so much ^^
+NsomniaksDream NP
+Xgamer Hot And do you pick the idea for you scrubbers? Cause I have a idea 😉
This is incredible!
you should do a xerneas inspired makeup and headpiece
Wow , so cool
another way to add extra texture and a little more detail is to take a make up sponge and dab paint on to the antlers
This is so cool.
I so need to try this!
Oh yeah i enjoyed a lot. I wanna try it now. So cool =)
Absolutely Beautiful! You've just gained a subscriber! XD
Thanks for making this! I'm gonna try this for halloween!
Omg thank you I needed this!!!
Ok your incredible!
What size of headband did you use ??? This is beautiful 😍❤
I now know what I want to do for halloween
*You can also use sponges to help with painting as well :D*
Amazing :) going to give these ago ~ thank you for your tutorial :)
Good luck! I hope it helps :D
you are so talented
*gets Cosplay fund *
Friend: I thought you were saving up for your cosplay
Me: You don't understand how much I NEED this
so nice Love it
Where can you find the plaster bandage? Craft stores? It looks exactly like medical cast material! probably because it is... just wonder what brick & Mortar stores I could find that from! It gave your antlers such a realistic look compared to other tutorials i saw using other materials! I love that you can sand it when you're done!
If anyone could let me know about the plaster bandage though, that would be great!
Mere Fille Beauty Co. they should be sold at art/craft/hobby stores, Idk if you live by any but I found some at Pat Catan's :^O
Thank you!!! It was so helpful i needed that to my costume thats perfectttt
I'm so happy this could help! :D
oh god it was, really amazing and esily to do, really thanks.
This is very helpful thank you
A really great tutorial! Did you apply more then one layer of plaster bandages? Also how heavy are these? Are you able to move your head fairly freely or do you have to be careful to hold the antlers balances on your head?
I only applied one layer of plaster bandages, but you could of course apply more if you like. They're not super heavy or anything but they do have weight to them. Side to side movement was very easy, I just couldn't throw my head back without it sliding like a pair of sunglasses haha
Thank you so much you just made my cosplay life more awsome
Some quick tips I found making this myself:
- coat hanger wire will NOT work it's too thick
- 16 gauge wire is a little too skinny but useable. It doesn't hold its shape as well as the 14g would
- 5 yards of wire is JUST enough, but stress inducing because you can't make any mistakes
I will add more as I go along :)
very beautiful !
Amazing!
Omg so cool!
Could you be a little more specific with the wire? Like, is it conducting wire or..?
Description.
This is cool! Is there a way where u can fit deer ears to the headband?
wonderful..!
is there any alternative to plaster bandages? just curious, cause I don't know if I'll be able to access them! the antlers look gorgeous and enchanting, I really love the chains on them!!
More recently I have worked with a product called Foam Clay and that's a fantastic option as well. It is much lighter than the plaster and you can smooth it out with water while working with it, which would eliminate the need to sand the horns at all :)
I made these and they look beautiful but the weight of the antler make them fall of my head so I recommend making them a little smaller :)
upvote! I love this!
Okay, since these are made of plaster, contact with water will destroy them, right?
Do you think this same method could be in use with a crown?
i have encountered 1 problem. i did myself antlers similar to urs, but a lil longer. problem is that the hair band is really shaking on my head. i need to hold my head so straight. does someone have an idea how to fix the hairband 😅 to make it more powerful in gripping
Can I use poster paint on this? 😆
Would glods of hot glue work for texture
Personally I would change all of the colored flowers with black flowers😀
