- In this tutorial I'll show you how to make some faun hooves out a pair of high heeled shoes. Had requests for this tutorial from Gravitythewolf, Eric, and Otterpus2764 These are perfect to finish off a faun or satyr costume. I left the heels on mine to make them more comfortable to walk in (and hopefully prevent broken ankles ;-) ), but if you want your faun hooves to look more natural, you can just break the heels off and paint over the broken part.
MATERIALS USED:
A pair of high heels (check your local second hand shops for a cheap pair)
Small pieces of Wonderflex (Available at wonderflexworld.com)
Power-tac glue (amzn.to/2ixOyvy)
Black glossy paint (amzn.to/2BFGYJQ) and paintbrush
1 foot of fake black fur (I found mine in JoAnn Fabrics)
Hope you enjoy this video. If you have any questions or requests for future tutorials, feel free to leave me a comment below. I post a new cosplay tutorial every Thursday and a new crafting tutorial every other Monday, so check back next week for more DIY goodness.

Even though you didn’t use the “normal” method of putting homemade hooves on the bottom and cutting off the heels, these are actually fantastic- So, thank you for making an easier and, from the looks of it, more comfortable option for those who want to make satyr feet! They still look great and convincing, and it shows you don’t need fancy things to make something good :)
This tutorial may be a bit old but it’s amazing! I’m making a renaissance fair costume, and this video helped me make my hooves! Thank you so much for posting this fantastic tutorial!
Thanks 😊 Glad you found it helpful. Hope you have fun with them at the Renaissance fair; they're such fun places to attend!
Omg thank you this is so creative its perfect
this is just the tutorial i needed to make my own hooves- thank you lol!!
Happy galloping 😉
Hmm diy krampus feet
Haha, yes, totally! 😂
Thank you!!!!
thank you this really helped!
Glad you found it helpful 😊
Fashionable!! For deer!
Can't you moonwalk without them on? 🤔
Without them yes, but why take the easy way out? lol
@@Thewoodlandelf 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video 😄😊
Thanks 😊
Question if you don't mind, are these comfortable or somewhat wearable for long periods of time? I don't really know how to word this well. But you did a good job! Thank you if you answer. :D
They're not too bad. I don't normally wear heels, but I think these probably feel the same way as wearing any other pair of high heel shoes for a long period time. (I purposely left the heels on mine so they'd be more comfortable).
the heels u used seem similar to mine. i can't seem to find anything for breaking the heel part off. any tips?
Use a small-tooth saw and cut them off. That way the rest of the shoe won't accidentally shatter.
i kinda like the Pro , if you don't push down as much
Hello, sorry for demanding things, but I would like in the future to make a video of how to make the viewer of the X-Men's Cyclops, I really liked the video, before watching the video I thought they were real hooves 😅 (postscript sorry if you do not understand my English, is not my native language and everything I do with a translator)
Yes, Cyclops' visor is on my to-do list, so I will be making that some point.
@@Thewoodlandelf I will wait with ancias that video, thank you for answering my comment, I wish you good luck and fortune in your next projects ♡
So instead of fur, could you do felt? and use a wire brush to make it look furry? Or like string, and still use the wire brush? Im trying to do this on a low budget, and with a color scheme of white, with speckles of purple
I don't think felt would work that well, but you could probably do yarn and then use a wire brush. Though honestly, the stuff I used here was fake fur from JoAnn Fabrics. If you take one of those 50% off coupons, you can probably get enough fake fur to cover a pair of shoes for $5, and save the work od having to wire-brush anything.
@@Thewoodlandelf thank you. I was just at Joann's looking at their first. And I can see what you mean. The precut pieces were like $3.45 for 9x12 in piece. Thanks again!
Is there a substitute you could use in place of a thermoplastic? I love your method but I can't find any thermoplastic in my area
I usually order my thermoplastic online, as it's not in my area either. I don't think there's much else you could use other than thermoplastic for these, because other things such as craft foam or clay would get damaged when you walk on them.
@@Thewoodlandelf I'll have to order it then, thank you for the advice :) I hope you have a wonderful day/night
Great
Thanks 😊
Quick question! How does the wonder-flex deal with water and dirt?
Water is no problem, it's plastic so it's water proof. As far as dirt, I never used it straight, I always glue and paint over it, so it just depends on the type of paint I'm using as to how it handles dirt.
Lol. "Almost impossible to moonwalk in. "
Can you still make the 1987 predator!!?
Yup, I'll still make it. I just get a lot of requests so it'll be a while before I get there.
Does it have to be glossy paint or can it be acrilic because i only have acrilic paint
Yeah acrylic is fine. Real hooves aren't shiny anyway. I just liked the gloss on mine, but it's definitely not a requirement.
Quick question, could you just use super glue instead of power tax? (Or is power tax just a brand of super glue, sorry I'm really bad at this sort of stuff😂)
You could probably just use super glue. Power tac is essentially a super glue, it's just got a stronger hold, and sticks to more surfaces.
Is it possible to mold the Wonderflex with an air dryer on hot setting? Thanks!
What kind of air dryer are you referring to; a hair air dryer or something else?
@@Thewoodlandelf Yes apologies! Meant a hair dryer. :)
I tried a hair dryer once. It does melt it enough to form shapes with it, but not enough to get really fine details. So if you're doing something simple like these hooves, a hair dryer would probably work. But if you're doing something more detailed you'll probably want a hotter source.
@@Thewoodlandelf Great! Thank you so much!!
for the hoof shape, would you think i could use clay?
I don't think clay would work very well, as it'd be likely to crack when you're walking in them.
@@Thewoodlandelf this is kind of old, but I'm having trouble finding answers -
I'm making hooves with a wooden block acting as the hoof underneath the front of the heel, but I don't have the skill or tools to carve details into it, so I was considering using clay for the outer bit. Would polymer clay (I think I have sculpey original) still crack under these conditions?
Toga Himiko - It's risky, as clay tends to crack when pressure is applied to it. But you might be able to get away with it if you do it so the clay is a bit above the bottom of the hoof so it's not actually touching the ground and having pressure put on it. If the shoe shifts at all though, it will probably crack.
@@Thewoodlandelf yeah, clay does tend to crack sometimes
what i would do if the clay DOESN'T crack, i would make the hoof shape with the clay and add it onto the tips of the heels to create that shape, but if it cracks like that i most likely wouldn't do it. it might be possible to create a resin pour into a hood mold though. would you have an opinion on that?
e - Yeah, a resin pour would probably work pretty well. Or maybe even coating the clay form itself in resin to give it added strength.
when you paint the hooves black its looks like raw hide
Hmm, I might have to use it for that in a future project 😊
everyone to their own :) you got mad skills and your videos shows it @@Thewoodlandelf
🖒
What’s the alternative to high heels as a male child is gonna wear them?
Is the concern that he's gonna fall trying to wear high heels? If so, I'd just recommend making them out of a pair of black loafers or something similar. Check the second hand shops for a cheap pair (and if you can't find black, you can always paint them. They wont show much under the fur anyway). You can just make the fur go up the leg a bit to compensate for the flat shoes.
oye saludame y has un vídeo de cómo hacer un reloj de Ben 23
geez- can normal people really not walk in them?? i made my hoof part out of wood so its like a platform heel and i took off the heel- and i wore them for 6 hours out in a forest ren fair no problem-
Yup, lots of people break the heels off and walk in them, but some people (myself included 😉) don't like to. Just depends on the person. Can be done either way.
I'm a guy. I WILL be hitting the charity shops in the next week or so to buy a pair of high heels if they have a large enough pair 😅
Don't worry, in the second hand shops they won't even blink. I think they're used to people coming in for cosplay stuff 😅
So true! 😂
The lip smacking
Unintentional. Think I was probably too close to the microphone. I forget about it sometimes.
You have excess saliva in your mouth
Not necessarily. It could just be that I'm a vampire drinking down my latest meal while recording a video... 😉
