This weeks new DIY is LIVE! A more detailed (but still easy) way to make custom elf ears. If you don't have the tools or time to invest into making something like this then I uploaded a seriously easy version of how to make elf ears last week, it's also linked at the end of this video :)
Been watching numerous videos on making elf/Spock ears and I have to say it was so nice to hear your voice. It is soothing and your diction and presentation was flawless. Nice video btw. Thank you for your hard work. Trying to make the best ears for my budget (which by the way is almost nonexistent for now but should be better soon). Making ears and applying them with the color match can be very time consuming and expensive. I'm using the best points (within my budget) from all the videos to make my Spock ears. Might even make a video to to show the in's and out's, and all the mistakes. Wishing I had an interactive pair of extra hands to help. My wife thinks I'm nuts for spending so much time, money and energy, but Star Trek filled my life with much joy and I'm hoping to share some of that back when I finish my outfit. At least I'm hoping. haha Thanks again
Wow awesome! Is this liquid latex? I don’t know anything about prosthetics but I just got some liquid latex to make my own ears for Halloween and I’m hoping it’s the right stuff
A suggestions of how to do this for someone who has a latex allergy? Would gelatin work as a replacement, or would I have to go about this in a different way?
Trista McCorkle Gelatin would indeed work as a replacement. It is a little harder to work with though because of the quick dry down time and the stickyness. Another option is 3rd Degree, but it is quite pricy. Hope this helped :)
Thanks! I want to be M. Spock for Halloween and your tutorial is very helpful But I'm allergic to latex! Do you know an alternative ? (Sorry for my bad english I'm french)
Its a little pricier, but two part silicone would work. You just have to mix the two parts and let them dry. I’m also allergic to latex and I’ve found thats the easiest
Im not an artist, and i don't do diys, but your videos are just so interesting to watch.

Literally so much talent it is unreal!
you are such a gem Klaire, i've been watching you for years. I hope soon you'll reach millions of subscribers
I subscribed to your channel awhile back but only just now went through your videos. Great work and very informative tutorials!
Very helpful tutorial! This seems like a process anyone can do :) great finished product!
It's really easy. I'll have more variations for this on my blog later on *ahem...Spock ears*
KlairedelysArt indeed it is! Yes!! Bring on the Vulcan!
Could you possibly do Hylian (Legend of Zelda) ears as well? I can't find any tutorials anywhere :/

Absolutely Smashing!
i don't have a technical ear mold but i do have a sculpt of my ear that's as accurate as i can get it without a mold. Will this still work?
Would baby powder work to keep the latex from sticking?
Nikita Woulfe yes it will. I use baby powder when I latex :)
Are these reusable? Like, can you only use them once then have to throw them out, or can they be used multiple times?
Love the talent, but I have latex allergy. Any suggestions for substitutes?
yay been waiting for this
I’m allergic to latex is there anything else I can use?

Do u use clay for it?
And also what's that ear thing u male the elf ears on called?
Any tips for doing nightelf ears from wow? xx
Valhalla make sure you build up plenty of support around the bottom of the nightelf ears so they actually stay stuck to your ears? :)
Do you need to add any mould release or vaseline before applying latex? Or can you apply straight onto the clay?
apply straight to the clay. Latex peels off relatively easy when using baby powder (or any other powder really) to keep it from sticking
So do you use the Latex ear piece as a MOLD to make other ear piece prosthetic's?
Paul Bialozor no, the latex goes straight on the ear (with a skin adhesive)

It did, thank you!
Remember if you use gelatin and it dries, you can always re-melt it and voila! Something 3rd degree can't do haha
your very beautiful and talented
what latex brand do you use?
I have it linked on my blog :)
Thanks! I want to be M. Spock for Halloween and your tutorial is very helpful
But I'm allergic to latex! Do you know an alternative ?
(Sorry for my bad english I'm french)
M Ndiaye fx gelatin!
There's also a few kinds of sculpt gel that supposedly work pretty well. Also, you have wonderful English, so don't worry ^w^
thanks you guys! I'll check out what I can find around me and how to use them ☺
Why two videos on custom elf ears?
I am allergic to latex so what would I do
LAURA BRYAN fx gelatin is a good alternative
Its a little pricier, but two part silicone would work. You just have to mix the two parts and let them dry. I’m also allergic to latex and I’ve found thats the easiest
I have A question I'm dark skinned female is there Away I can make the ears the same color AS my skin?
I know there's a way to add tint, but I'm not sure how to do it.
could you use baby powder to powder the latex?
Yup, you could :)
thank you
