DIY Dragon Horns | Magnetic Attachment | Foam and Worbla How To

This video will show you how to create your own pair of lightweight magnetic attached horns that you can use for any style of headdress!

Here is my build video on the Dragon Horns I created for my warrior look, and I wanted to show you how to bring them to life with either foam or thermoplastics

Hope this helps you guys in your own projects!

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)
~ Black Spray Paint
~ Crystal Clear Spray Paint
~ Sugarpill Pigment: Lumi
~ Inglot AMC Pigment 112
~ Black and White Acrylic Paint
~ Rare Earth Magnets: Mine were 5lb strength
~ D rings or belt rings (found at fabric store)
~ Elastic

Safety Equipment:
Respirator for spray paint and aerosols
Dust mask + Safety Glasses for sanding

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!)

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.

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
