PRODUCTS I USED:
~ 2mm Thick craft foam
~ Pink Insulation Foam (This also comes in blue at different hardware stores)
~ Stanley Exacto Knife (You will want replacement blades or a sharpener for this. Cutting foam quickly dulls the knife and insulation foam should always be cut with a sharp edge)
~ Hot glue
~ Sand paper (I usually work with 120 grit to 180)
~ Masking Tape
~ Sharpie
~ Worbla Finest Art (Thermoplastic)

I need this for a D&D cosplay me and my friend are going to do. My character is a dragonborn >:3
Tarantula The SandWing mine is a tiefling
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I saved it for when I decided to make my horns for my Calianna (Critical Role) cosplay this year, and it helped immensely in working out how to build up the scales. One thing I'd add for fellow first-timers: Add a LOT MORE extra foam on the sides than what you are expecting to need. You can always remove it, like she says, but it looks a little tacky if you have to fill in any gaps (ESPECIALLY around the curves of your horns!)
This technique would be great for Malefecient horns.
I stg I was about to comment that :D
(are you referencing the 2014 film or Disney's original sleeping beauty?)
Thank you. Finally someone used magnets instead of hair pins for somethingm ill use this for fox ears later
I'm always stunned at the time and effort you put in all of these looks 😨😍
Awesome dragon horns sculpts.
This is freaking brilliant 😍 well done on the engineering of this!!
Damn this still amazes me. Love these props tutorials Megzy Makes me want to work with warbla something fierce
Started this project this week and so far have a 2 small sets of horns and 1 large set of horns. I have the patterns drawn out and tonight begins the fun on putting them on foam and then getting started cutting and gluing the foam down before I start my first ever project with worbla. Thanks so much for posting this. I do have the earth magnets too but think I will work these large horns into a aviator skull cap pattern I have. That was my ears can stick out for some air and the horns can be working into the aviator cap.
Omg, I loved the result! It's just amazing! Hopefully I'd like to try an do them one day😍🙌🏼
used this method for my Homestuck god tier cosplay this is really good!
This was a huge help. I made dragon horns for Halloween and they were wonderful.
Just wow. So detailed and perfect color shading. Truly a masterpiece.
Pretty cool
You're so talented and such a babe! I noticed the band aid on your poor finger halfway through the video. Crafting is dangerous. Lol
thank you soo much im working on an art project for school and this should really help me make the horns you are a life saver
my brother is making a computer at the moment and ive been sitting lazily. so this will really help me do something with my life haha
Wow! Blown away! Thank you so much for the tutorial!
Thanks this is so helpful, I need to make some horns for Yugo, a character from Wakfu, I think I'll try using transparent worbla. Also you're very skilled!!👌
This is amazing! I plan on using this with my Ranboo cosplay
ohhh i messed up with the foam. Bought a 2" foam instead of 1 1/2" .. broke the exacto blade
Greetings from Finland :) Thank you for sharing this great tutorial! I'm trying to figure how to securely attach magnets to foam horns for my car. Keep up the good work!
What's awesome is that I have wig to go with this
I love all of the fine details and ingenuity put into this project. It looks outstanding. Your creativity is immensely appealing. 👌✅🖤
I love your channel Sam!!!!
exo logo 😂😂
exo-l??
LOVE!!! You’re so talented...and patient!!!
Take a shot every time she says worbla
I thought it would be more than that
Lmao
I sat on my but for an hour and now I can’t feel my but and it feels weird to sit
I’m too young
Fun w/ Sheeps me too
Such an intelligent creation! 🙌🏽💕
Thank you so much for this tutorial ! It helped me a lot!
I love dragons
This helped me so much. The only thing I did wrong was using a flimsy head band for the base
I'm going to use this for my d&d
Thanks!
Me only discovering what 'Super Thanks' are right this moment....
I'm so sorry I didn't find this sooner! TYSM so being so kind
Awesome! I'm going to try this technique for horns for my bodypaint model @ Castlefest in NL this year ;-)
@NsomniaksDream hey just letting you know, I did try cutting with a scroll saw and it worked like a dream. It only took me 5-10 minutes to cut my horns out. As long as one takes it slow and holds the foam firmly on the table. Clean up was a breeze as well. I thought there would be alot of dust from it like wood, but there wasn't. I hope this helps you for future projects.
Oh my gosh you life saver i'll definitely be using this for cosplay thank you!! they look awesome by the way!
Man this is great! I need to make a carrot nose for puppet and I'm considering making stick arms out of this technic as well unless you have a better suggestion. Very detailed and very well explained. Thank you!!!
This is fucking awesome. You are such a badass thanks for sharing
You are too kind ♡
For Halloween I want to be a grim wreaperthing dragon and this is probably what I’m going to use
Wow those came out really neat! xD
Great video!!!
holy shit! that's incredible! awesome work and video
I think I'm going to try your magnet trick for when I do Star Guardian Soraka from LoL, thanks for the awesome idea!
Damit...makes me want a pair of horns😐😂
Okay so I haven't seen this comment yet so - if you use insulation foam, please be incredibly careful when sanding it. Wear a mask with a filter (they sell these at the hardware store too) so you don't breathe in the excess polystyrene fibers, as they're a health hazard and can be very dangerous. Once you seal your horns, they should be fine for wearing, but while making them, please please please exercise due caution. If you have questions about specific types of polystyrene, you can find their MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) online, and that answers how safe something is for use. Please be careful and stay safe.
Lastly, thanks for the tutorial, it's really neat!
Awesome ! Thanks 💕
I love these!!!
I think I might try this out for orgar horn I kinda want them on my forehead rather than my hair but I might just give him a headband because he’s a warrior anyway so it may go with it better
Nah fam these are Ampora horns
Could I totally just use masking tape to add texture then spray paint it black? Dont really need scales for my horns ;)
Hey! Quick question! Where did u find the pink insulation foam exactly? I can't find it in any of my local hardware stores 😅
Oh and what are their measurements?
I Actually Am Suprised How Fucking Smart This Is!
I May Do This, IDK Yet.
How large did you end up making these?
it's safer to cut things in a motion away from you. it's easy for the blade to slip off the thing you're cutting.
I love these
This is a really awesome tutorial! I'm wondering though, do you think it turns out this good aswell even if you dont use worbla? What would be a good alternative (paper mache etc), since I dont think we have worbla here ? :D
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍pretty awesome
What did you use is plactic foam? Right
Doing Loki :)
Can't find this insulation foam in Brazil :(
I love this but... Can you do I tutorial of a cheap version of this? Please and
Thank-
You could use floral foam and paper mache? It would need a thicker layer of paper mache and glue on the bottom so the magnets don’t just rip right out. It’s not as expensive if you use coupons at the craft stores.
I did a similar thing with a clay base, cling film, paper mache, spray paint and sealant, then mounted it on a headband with a hot glue gun. Came out at around £20 when all when done =)
Use a pool noodle and carve it into a horn... but foam clay on top.. and BOOM cheap version
But do they wobble when you dance?
Where did you get your installation foam from I need to know
This is awesome. I saw this just in time for Halloween. Now my question is would a scroll saw work to cut out the base of the horns? What do you think, have you tried that?
Oh I'm not sure, I've never got to try a scroll saw myself but it makes sense it would work just fine :)
@@NsomniaksDream I will try it myself and I will try to let you know.
Does anyone know if there's a way to do this without also using a wig?
Can you do a dragon wing tutorial?
Wait so how do you apply the magnets tho??
They get sandwiched in with the worbla. Worbla adheres to itself so it acts as the adhesive ^_^
Excuse me but what is the exact knife used in this? I am having trouble finding an exacto knife long enough to cut through the foam
Hi, i wanted to buy the rare Earth Magnets but i dont understand the 1+ , 10+ , 25+ or the 50+ above the prices. Can you explane that for me please?
Its the first time im buying something like that. I would use it for my fow and toothless and lightfury cosplay
What knife do you use? Im struggling finding an Exacto that goes all the way through the foam
What do I do if I am not going to wear a wig with these on?
What if I wanna make ram horn?? like as in, it's curved and very dimentional?
I can't afford worbla 😭 but your work is amazing
Using thiiiiiiiis~~♡♡
Could you make wings?
Furry here:
Watching this because I'm trying to make a fursuit with detachable horns...would I be able to use this same method through some fur? Just use some stronger magnets or the same strength? If anyone replies, thank you.
How big of a sheet did you use for worbla?
i realize this video is older so i may not get a response but ... is the head piece under the wig necessary? Wouldnt the magnets be able to stick to each other without it? Or is its purpose to keep them from shifting? If they are as strong as you say, would that even be an issue?
The piece underneath is indeed for making them stay in place and taking the weight of the horns. The issue you might run into with not creating that piece is that you're putting all of the hold onto the wig, and since wigs have stretch to fit over the head, there's a good chance the horns will just sag or move. However, for a smaller set of horns you could probably get away without the structural piece underneath :)
you answered!!!! thank you for your response. i understand what you mean about all the weight on the wig. I found 17lb magnets so i may experiment a bit. i dont have worbla so constructing the head piece isnt the easiest for me right now
i am doing something really similar (also due to this video), also without worbla. I am using one of those wide stretchy headbands, i'm going to open it up and make the structure with two layers of craft foam and have the magnets in between. and then glue the whole thing back together. To make sure the headband doesn't move i'm going to get wig clips and sew them into the headband so it doesn't slide.
Would casting horns in resin work or would that end up being too heavy?
Makes them far to heavy if their solid resin. If they're hollow their not strong enough to hold the magnets in the base. Difficult to cast unless you're an expert (IMHO).
Can i buy this from you online
Hey where can you buy the 1 1/2 foam??
I cant find any online
I'm not exactly sure where online but I always buy mine from a Home Depot or RONA or just hardware store :)
It's in the insulation area
Can u sell theese?
Will these hold up while im dancing. Im dressing up in coseplay for a concert but i plan on shaking my ass all night and just wondering if I do this method will it hold up
what brand of blade do you use? i always find mine to break
For this I was using the Stanley brand blade but I did just buy myself an OLFA 20mm knife. The thicker knives tend to hold up better with foam carving. And having a sharpener around really helps extend the blade lives :D
NsomniaksDream thanks! i had horns in the making and totally changed my attatchment process once i saw your magnet head band in your makeup vid, so thanks this is awesome!
no me watching this in 2021 cause I wanna cosplay my original comic characters
👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐👐❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
bandsaw works much faster
Grimwurks Pottery So true! I would love to own a bandsaw one day ^_^
