- How to Make a Dragon head out of EVA Foam! I have always wanted a mounted Dragon head for my game room so now I'm going to make that happen! This is a foam dragon head so it is very lightweight and would be perfect for a cosplay prop, a wall decoration, or a dragon arm puppet. In this part 1 video I am going to cover the fabrication of the head, eyes, and horns. In part 2 I will continue to detail the piece so be sure to come back for that one. I do have Free PDF templates available over on my website incase you'd like to make one too. Hopefully this build inspires you to craft your own Dragon

Without any teeth he looks like a very happy & smiley dragon :D
With my Bob Ross soothing voice building a happy little dragon
Thank you so much for providing free patterns! That is a sign of a crafter/artist who truly wants to share their talents for the sake of helping others become interested in what you do. You've gained a subscriber and donator.
Awesome!! Have fun with the project! 🙌
That is killer! I can't wait to start building. The kids are going to love the new addition to the game area. Thanks, Steve!
Thanks Rex! I’m excited to see what everyone comes up with 👍
This is going to be so cool in my living room! Inspired me to come up with a few designs of my own to accompany it too. I'm so lucky to have a nerd wife and nerd kids!
Excited to see all of the different dragon this inspires throughout the years 🙌
Great idea for dragon from Game of Thrones
Thanks!
I love this. Dragons rule. You have the best tutorials on TH-cam. Well explained and executed
Glad you like them! Thank you very much!!!
I admit I clicked this video hoping for a fun build and that was it. Now Im definitely making one, so cool! Gonna use this to make a Rathalos head from Monster Hunter
Awesome glad I could inspire!! 🙌
With a little modification, the basic template could make a Skeksis from the Dark Crystal
thank you so much for providing the free templates!! i was hoping to find a free dragon head somewhere and its finally here!!... now the only thing i need to do is to find away to replace the sanding part since i dont have a rotary tool
Thanks! Glad you like the content! If you plan on doing foam work you really need a rotary tool. You can get them pretty cheap online check out the Wen rotary tool video I did. But they are pretty much a must to shape foam
Awesome build! It looks super easy too.
Thanks! I try to make the projects as easy to follow as possible 👍
You are welcome. I am looking forward to part 2.
Looks can be deceiving! Remember, he's been doing this for a living, so he's had years of practice. But don't let this discourage you. That's how we learn. Good luck with your build.
Thank you very much for your kind words and encouragement @kalenhouse. That means alot.
You are incredible
I try my best! 🙌
Bro I love how you made the horns that is some high end detail.
Thank you! 🙌
I'm making some dragon puppets at the moment so I think I'll be using the template as a jumping off point for that. I'll probably widen the head and bring the eyes to be more forward facing and shrink the size, at least initially. And I'll probably avoid the superglue though. I've made puppets from foam before and the differential flexing has always caused the superglued areas to crack.
ive always wanted a mounted head too!
Should be a fun project! 👍
I can already see some things I can do with this template. Thanks for giving us another exciting project!
You're Welcome!!
Steven, your templates and build layouts are pretty much the best out there. Thank you
Thank you! And you’re welcome! 🙌
It's mind blowing. Eagerly waiting for next part
Thanks!!
Always amazing and useful videos❤Thank u for ur work 🙏
You’re welcome! 🙌
This is looking really great so far.
Thank you very much!
Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Thank you thank you thank you! I’m so excited to follow along!
You’re welcome!! 🙌
I read your description but didn’t see anywhere that says which package would be the right material for this build. Will the Starter bundle have all the foam you have used? I did notice it is only the foam and not the other materials and tools, but I just want to make sure everything we need would be there. We are doing a version of the Narnia Dawn Treader film as our school play, and we have been trying to figure out how to create a head that doesn’t look ridiculous, and this looks incredible. I think the size looks pretty good for what we need with the whole neck expected to be two feet or so, and the whole front piece of the ship being about 4ft x7ft high (including the head and neck area) it looks like your whole piece is approx 18-24 inches. Is that about right? By the way, I’m sincerely blown away at how some fairly simple materials can create such an elaborate piece! I will absolutely be following your channel to learn more!🎉
Unless I state otherwise I'd always recommend having a sheet of each size 2,4,6,10mm on hand to start any project. and the tools I use are pretty much the same ones on every build. I don't use my extremely expensive laser cutters or 3D printers on the channel because I know most peopel dont have those tools.
THIS IS SO GOOD! AS A DRAGON PUPPETEER, I AM AMAZED!! :3
Thank you very much! Part 2 is coming out very soon 👍
@@SKSPropsYAYYYY
So awesome already, can’t wait for part 2!
Thanks!
Looks super cool Steve!
Thank you!
Eres un crack maestro. Saludos desde Perú.
Thank you!
YES, something I want to make now though I would like to make it into something I can wear too
Awesome! Have fun!
thanks man
You’re welcome!
This is awesome thank you so much…he is so magical.. I. Going to make him in paper Mache!
Thanks! Be careful making it out of paper mache…that will make it much heavier than eva foam and will require a lot more reinforcement if you plan on wall hanging it.
That is so amazing. I will definitely be making this build. I don't have any FB, or IG acct to tag you in but I will have my son take pictures and have you tagged on it as the artist who provided the template. I have plans to make it look different from yours, but your template gives me a starting point. Thank you for this awesome dragon!
You're welcome! Have fun with the build!
This is going to be epic
I’m going to try!! 🙌
nice work !! congratulations
Thank you!
Looks amazing just wondering if there would be a way to articulate this at all to make it more of a mask ?
Watch my how to make a dog skull mask and just apply that to any articulated jaw mask
Part 2 PLEASE!! This is so awesome.
Part 2 is live 👍
Impressive as usual... I love it. say can you make Malenia's helmet from elden ring next?
Thanks! I have lots of builds planned for the future unfortunately none of them are from elden ring at this point. The raging wolf armor I made for Bandai burned me out
@@SKSProps understandable... I've seen many cosplays but I fell in love the first time I saw that Raging wolf that you did.
But....but.....where's the Horse Skull video and template? It's almost Mari Lwyd time! Dear God....how does one modify one of your previous skulls into a convincing horse skull?! I'm good at following instructions but not fabricating!!!! *screams into the heavens*
Ps - can wait for the follow up to this dragon build. :)
Only so many hours in the day 😅 Maybe next year 👍
I love this! Though I am struggling on how to attach the jaw in order to make it as a puppet. Does anyone have an answer, before I commit to making it?
Thanks! Watch my dog skull video with moving jaw and use that technique here
@@SKSProps thank you! Your builds are truly incredible and comprehensive even a complete novice such as myself can make this!
Nice work, I am curious where you got the metal brick that you used to hold down templates? In addition,how soon before you paint the dragon?
They're called '1 2 3 blocks' and are designed for machinists but useful for many things. Next video will be detailing, then final video painting the dragon- probably over the next couple weekends.
An awesome job as always Steve.
I do have a question regarding the Kwik sea thought. My first ever build I also used kwick seal as all of the foam seams were dreadful. I also used it in other areas to smooth out, as i didn't know any better regarding smooth sanding drums. As I heatsealed, the kwikseal bubbled up as a reaction.
As I didn't see you heatseal the top half before applying kwikseal, did you do it? And if so, how did tou prevent the bubble up?
Thansk! My HD-foam requires a lot less heat than other brands to heat seal so I don't apply enough excess heat for the kwik seal to react
Could you please do a doom cosplay tutorial?
I already did Dr. Doom
I have made stuffed ones... I now REALLY want to build from your foam! One question I have is about the contact cement. Have you tried the water based ones used for leather? I am very allergic to the solvent ones and even wearing a painter respirator mask it makes me sick(even working outside with a mask). Or is there another glue that works well?
I have used the water based ones with mixed results. If you want just use the superglue and it will be fine
Could you do the Ningtmare foxy cosplay please need it very much 😢😢😢😢
I got a question. The horns dont show what foam to use . When i print templates i glue them down on poster board . Is there a better printer that i can buy that prints it right on poster board ?
Template doesn’t show thicknesses because it depends on how big you want your horns to be. You could use the same designs and change the 4,6,10mm sizes. Watch the video when I get to the horns I tell what sizes I’m stacking.
I don’t know of a printer that would print on poster board
@@SKSProps thanks man
If yoy make a puppet, will using superglue affect the durability of a dragon head?
No, why would it. Superglue will hold eva foam just fine it’s not like using L200 which superglue doesn’t like.
@@SKSProps thanks. Same superglue as in video will be bought
Do you make custom masks
I make custom props all the time, but if your asking if I take commissions unfortunately no. I no longer take public commissions I just don’t have the free time anymore.
Can we do this with paper?
Use whatever you want but foam is going to be way more durable and easier to manipulate
is it possible to turn it into a mask?
Anything’s possible, you just need to figure out the correct scale
@@SKSProps cool
understandable do you know anyone who can help me i am looking to buy a mask i can use for streaming purposes. I have 2000 tictok followsers but don't want to post my face.
@@dtwserv post in Facebook costume groups like “heroes for hire no costumes for sale”
This is not a mask? awww
Just scale it up and it can be a couple people already did
I used your template to make my first hand puppet, the size is smaller and I've made some modifications, this is my version: th-cam.com/video/x7Vlgj_jCUU/w-d-xo.html
That's great! it looks awesome and I'm glad I could help you out 👍
