I make a lot of helmets and I needed somewhere to store them/hang them up to show them off because they were just taking up a ton of room in my workshop and getting beat up from being moved from one surface to another! I looked at what it would cost to buy some helmet wall mounts for them and I when I saw that they were at least $20 each the cost added up too quickly for how many helmets I had. So I set out to make my own, having worked with PVC pipe before to make bows and swords and other cosplay props I thought that would be a great way to go and came up with this awesome DIY helmet stand design and it worked perfectly!! I recently made a bunch more helmets and needed some more stands so I thought this would be the perfect time to share how I did it with you so you can make some of your own!!! :)
I hope this is helpful for you and please tag me if you use this and make some of your own I would love to see how it turned out for you!! :)
I have used this for mostly foam helmets but I bet you could use it for motorcycle or other helmets as well you may just need to increase the size of PVC pipe you use and increase the mount length a little to compensate for the weight.
Enjoy and Cosplay On, My Friend!!

What helmet do you need a helmet wall mount for?

The Wonder Woman 1984 helmet is so awesome!
Thanks!! I'm pretty excited about how it turned out! :) I actually have a full video on how to make it with a pattern too! :)
I mean I'm looking to do a wall mounted drying system near the wood stove for mt bike, snowmobile and dirt bike helmets so this shit was a little nerdy for me but PROPS WHEN IT'S DUE!! Nice work sir, I love it!🤘
Haha, thanks my friend!! Let me know how it goes if you use it for your helmets! :)
Did you end up doing this? I'm worried about the weight. Motorcycle helmets weigh quite a bit more than cosplay ones and I don't want to come home with helmets scattered around on the floor
Amen! 🙌 My husband leaves his helmets every where!! 😘
You should share this video with him so he can have a place to put them ;)
@@CosplayApprentice you would like him, he's a stud.
@@OstlerHouseDesign hahahahaha 😂
Fantastic idea
Thanks!!! 😃
Would this work for the heavier replica helmets like the Black series?
Should work just fine, they are quite sturdy. :)
Omg, thank you so much for this video!!! I made a Stormtrooper helmet that I’m very proud of & I definitely want to show it off! I’m so happy I discovered your channel! I’m a new subscriber now!
Yay!! I'm so glad you found the channel too!!!! :)
Hi, great video. I am thinking of using this method for motorcycle helmets. They are about 4 pounds. Will this hold? Thanks in advance
Yeah, they are pretty sturdy. I only used 1/2”pvc pipe but for heavier items you could easily use 3/4” or even go up to 1” pvc pipe to make sure. Definitely way cheaper than motorcycle helmet holders online, I couldn’t believe how much they were :/
@@CosplayApprentice thanks, and you are right, insane
Can you mount without the use of nails? Double sided tape?
I think it would depend on how heavy the helmet is going on it :)
Dude. This shit is insane..... Thank you so much ❤❤
Yay! Happy to help! :)
Why not use a 90 degree fitting instead of bending the pipe?
You could totally do that if you'd like. I was just trying to make mine look like something other than PVC pipe so I avoided the elbow connector because it is hard to disguise :)
Amen
Can you rotate the helmet to the side on this mount?
Yes, is should be able to sit sideways on the mount just fine, you can make the upright on the mount as tall as you need to to make it work. :)
I don't have a heat gun. Would a blow dyer work?
For most foam a hair dryer is not hot enough to get a good shape in foam. I have links to a good prices heat gun on Amazon that works well if you are interested I can send you the link. :)
Can't you just use a elbow peice
You totally can :). I wanted hide the PVC look to it the best I could on mine so I didn't use the elbow but you totally could and not have to use a heat gun or anything :)
Now I have something I can use my floor mats for. I bought them early on and quickly discovered you tend to get what you pay for with foam. Great post!
Yay!! Yep, the floor mats are great for these kind of things, as well as for padding on the inside of helmets :). Thanks for watching!! You rock!!!
WHY…didn’t you use a 20% coupon?? Hmmmmmm
20% coupon for what?
Everyone knows you have to use a 20% off at harbor freight it’s like a tradition. I feel like a sucker for not using one or atleast the free item like flashlight or electric meter etc.
That so cool thanks
Thanks!!! I’m so glad you liked it!!! Thanks for your comment that helps motivate me to do more cool things :)
Insanely helpful. Insanely clever. Thanks for this video!! (subscribed!!)
How is this 1.98???
I break it down in the video, also PVC pipe was less expensive at the time I made the video ;)
Would football helmets (full size) be able to use this or would they be to heavy ? Anyone ?
I know you make your helmets sturdy but I had legit panic watching them fall over, like 'No! They're gonna DeNt! They're gonna sCRatCH!!'
Hahahaha 🤣 Sorry I scared you :)
Would this work for large cosplay horror masks??
This is exactly what I needed! I collect autographed football helmets, I will be making these ASAP!
Amen! I need to make one for my dragon helm, and it'll also work for my future Maleficent headpiece and Athena helm. And the Valkyrie helm I want to make but have no use for. And the plastic knight's helm that I bought for a Joan of Arc armor build that got trashed.
Perfect! Sounds like it will work great for a bunch of helmets for you! :)
This is a fantastic idea!! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks!! Glad you like it! :).
Really cool, but why not jut use an elbow instead of heating and bending? Fittings and PVC glue are cheap and the result would be stronger and more aesthetic.
You could totally do that as well! :). Not sure why I didn't use fittings other than I think maybe I wanted to disguise it a bit more as metal or something and often pipe fitting are a tell-tell PVC pipe thing, so it was really probably just more of the aesthetic that I was going for. Great idea though on the fittings :)
This is simple, I can even drill one to the sides of my wood shelf that I have helmets on to add more. Need to display my Spaceballs helmet soon.
Yay! Totally, I didn't think about adding it to existing furniture as well, that's a brilliant idea! :)
I only have one helmet, but what a great idea!
Thanks! :) Sounds like you need to make some more so you have more to hang up then ;)
Sweet! Heading to Home Depot right now, cause as a Batman Cosplayer, I have 8 cowls that are taking up too much space (according to my wife)
Hahaha, perfect!! Can't wait to see how they turn out for you!!! :)
This video is really great
This is amazing!!
Thanks April! Now you'll have something to show off your Wonder Woman Helmet on! :)
This is amazing and just what I need, if I had a heat gun or way to do this. I tried my wife’s hair dryer but it didn’t get hot enough. So I guess I’m back to the drawing board
You can also use the flame on a gas stove or other heat sources. Also you can get a heat gun at Harbor Freight for really cheap. :)
What a stud!
Hahaha Right!?!?! :)
Genius!
Idk why I wasn't subscribed to this xD
Hopefully you are now! :)
@5:02 lmao
