    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! ^__^

    • @NsomniaksDream

    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.

      @Raquel3521 4 роки тому +1

      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?

  • @kariechaos5382
    @kariechaos5382 7 років тому +3

    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.

      Can I paint my antlers with acrylic paint or do I need spray paint?

  • @Mona-hm2dt
    @Mona-hm2dt 7 років тому +1

    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 💜👍👍👍💜

  • @cidejong706
    @cidejong706 7 років тому

    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!

  • @angelaphsiao
    @angelaphsiao 8 років тому +37

    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.

    • @NsomniaksDream
      @NsomniaksDream  8 років тому +17

      Haha to me they more reflected an idea of cobwebs interlacing through the antlers
      But also because I just like the look of them ^_^

    • @angelaphsiao
      @angelaphsiao 8 років тому +4

  • @vkkidz4life
    @vkkidz4life 7 років тому +12

    do you think air dry foam clay (crayola) would work for the horns in place of the foil/tape/plaster combo?

    • @PudgeAndGush
      @PudgeAndGush 6 років тому

      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.

    • @tiramocha5187
      @tiramocha5187 7 років тому +9

      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.

    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!

    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?

    • @NsomniaksDream
      @NsomniaksDream  8 років тому +1

      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

  • @faes6471
    @faes6471 Рік тому

    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 :)

    • @NsomniaksDream
      @NsomniaksDream  3 роки тому

      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 :)

  • @arianae540
