Glowing Halo + Invisible Mount - Craft & Tell

Everyone feels a bit more angelic with a nice halo - here's how I made mine! It's a part of my Mercy cosplay, but I hope you can use my design for something of your own. :)

Just found your YouTube channel! I love all of your complex work! So inspiring! I am currently trying to make some glowing power rings for my Scarlet Witch Halloween costume and I’m trying to mimic a similar look for my hands >.<

You are so cool! Wish I saw this sooner I am making a halo for my boyfriend and I can’t have it sitting on his hair so this method is perfect!

Hi ! Did you used CoB 12V, or 24V ? Because i cant find a USB-C PD that go above 20V :/

[JimmNeutricity]

I’d like a more in-depth of this video. To see you craft it would be amazing.

I'm currently looking for this for halo goku . Thanks for making the video

[ashleybray]

I also use a mount like this! I use it for magnets for a invisible mount for masks!

[johnathanp]

This is so amazing!!!! I was wondering what is the diameter of the halo? I have a sheet of acrylic I want to try this with for my Archangel costume.

[CoopersUNIVERSE]

you happen to do any commissions cause id kill for one of these halos

[thomaswambach]

Wonderful work! Definitely gonna try and make my own! Out of curiosity, what kind of battery do you recommend for this build, especially if one wants this to light up for a while?

[corakato]

Outstanding work!
I always wanted to know how to make those invisible mounts. 0v0
Thanks for making this awesome content Zibartas!

[nonexistentbanana]

I have a project Idea, can you make a halo with the use of liquid nitrogen and magnets that utilize quantum levitation and quantum locking? But, make it applicable to wear. I suggest a 2 Part build. Pt1 would rest on your head with the magnets on a magnetic base crown-shaped circle scaled down so that it's hidden in your hair and is not noticeable. Now Pt2 would use the YBCO compound which can be cooled in a liquid nitrogen bath for longer levitation until it becomes a superconductor that's placed in a magnetic field to levitate utilizing the Meissner Effect. However, if Pt1 is not plausible, maybe you could attach it to a mask/helmet for better functionality. Also, can you make the halo glow with a bioluminescent algae liquid? You can make the algae glow more consistently with an increase of luciferin and changes in the environment, such as a drop in the salinity level, can force bioluminescent algae to glow longer, allowing more energy to be created in the form of light. I know you made a halo 4 years ago but I want to make a halo without the use of a rod of some sort. I lost a bet with a friend and now have to go to a one-time cosplay event (I didn't want to partake) however, since I'm going I figured I'd go all out just this once. Going as Angel Devil from Chainsaw Man.

How did you cut the acrylic circles? is the light gonna shine through the sides of the plastic if it's cut roughly??
