This is exactly the type of tutorial I was looking for ! I want to make a Robert Baratheon helmet from Game of Thrones and it uses antlers on a helmet. So my goal is to make a foam helmet and somehow form it around the antlers! Thanks for the help!!!
Are they very uncomfortable to wear? Like if you were to suddenly turn your head would they hold on well or topple over? I'm planning to make my own for a fair
@@justapineapple8464 A new ballgame has opened up, now we can use real antlers and put lights on the tips of each antler, a new discovery, hollow out the antler. I have pictures but I cannot apply them here.

Thank you for watching!
Very cool! I wish I had started looking for ideas sooner so had time to source the items needed to make these for Halloween...
Best one I've seen yet, thanks!
Hello!
What other alternative products do you recommend using instead of the free form air epoxy?
You could use Free Form Sculpt epoxy as well, but the result will be heavier.

Sugar were going down
Is the final result heavy on the head/neck?
Free Form AIR is extremely lightweight
Can I use normal air dry clay to form the antlers on the wire? Would it change anything besides the weight?
Air dry clay may crack as it dries. Free Form air would not.
Where did you get the 1/4" aluminum wire, I've looked everywhere where I live. Could you send me a link to what you used?
Can you call your nearest branch? We can get you a local supplier: www.reynoldsam.com/location Thanks for watching!
Can I paint the Free Form AIR epoxy with acrylic or spray paint?
Yes, but we recommend you use a good quality auto body primer for best adhesion.
what size is that kit she uses in video?
This is a trial kit of Free Form AIR: www.reynoldsam.com/product/free-form-air/
Fantastic job! That looks amazing! I definitely want to give that a try. Is this type of putty durable? Will it crack easily once it’s cured?
Free Form AIR is a durable epoxy once fully cured.
I made my antlers out of only clay foam and they're very floppy when I walk..
Do you know how I can make it more rigid before I paint it?!
What lengths is the aluminum wire cut to?
Hi Anne, we don't have exact numbers on this, but the lengths would depend on your particular project.
was told it smells like cat paws and you know it does stuff is awesome
Thanks, I think! :)
The free form air I found on amazon says trial size. Is that enough for this project? I'm planning on making more tines than you did.
Hi Kim, the trial unit contains 1.8 pounds of material - about 1 quart by volume.
Sorry, about 2 quarts by volume! :)
I was wanting to make thick ram horns, could I use the tin foil method as a base? Will this epoxy adhere to that?
Yes, epoxy should adhere to the foil.
Reynolds Advanced Materials thank you so much for answering! I would need to use gold black and brown paint. What do you recommend?
Once the epoxy is primed with a suitable sandable primer such as Plasti-Cote Sandable Auto Body Primer, any paint can be used.
what is the length of the horns?
About 11 inches.
Hey guys, where did you get your wire? I got some 1/4" aluminum armature wire and it looks HUGE compared to what you have there. Is it just me?
Hi Chris. 1/4" aluminum wire was indeed used. Should you find that 1/4" is too big you can scale down to 3/16".
How much would it cost to make one for me?
Hi Crystal, we don't make finished pieces, but can help you make your own.
very good video
Thanks for watching!
awesome job, thanks.
Thanks for watching Santiago!
Awesome
Thanks I’m gonna try this with real antlers!
Why not use real antlers
I was thinking that or just buying made ones but the reason is because how heavy they are like that unless you use something smaller
