This is great! every other diy design I've seen online needs a foam head ready and/or plaster/clay, which I do not have access to, and this is great for a last minute project. Thank you!
+legonoctrox that's new, i never had that problem, i didn't set any country limit to my google drive, maybe try logout, login with other google account? :)
This was great! I can easily turn this into something to hold my masks I make without using so much styrafoam. Sfx masks already involve so much waste, I hated how often I would need mroe and more. Also great for spooky headpieces! (Fake wall mounted heads of monsters)
Finally an easiest and cheapest way of making an maniqquine's head (just remind me if i spelled wrong maniqquine i'm really terrible at spellings like this) and BTW thank you very much you made..and finally i can have my very own maniqquine head
Thank you for this video. It is rare indeed that an artist shares his templates. You have enabled many people to try this epic form making. I for one am very grateful to you. Subscribed immediately. Keep going my friend. Good luck.
Cool video, didn't know that doll heads could be made from cardboard. By the way, I'm liking the Tchaikovsky 1812 overture that you have playing. Beats the heck out of any metal soundtrack that are usually added to these types of videos. Great work.
This is great and so creative! I'm going to have to make one! Also, I have even more respect for you for making a video that fits precisely into the 1812 overture and finishes with the cadence and everything! XD
This is absolutely amazing as Samuel Boshier said all other video say you need plaster or clay so I think this is one of the best videos I can think of. Thank you so much!!😉
This is a huge godsend for people wanting to make masks haha thank you!!! I'm totally going to have to try this out xD I tried making a mold of my head with screendoor mesh and expanding foam and....I have feeling its not good lol (I coated in a layer of paper clay to, but all the facial features and stuff were smushed (from the mesh)
Agreed, I don't like my face cast that has the front half of my head made by filling a plaster bandage mold of my face with actual plaster. I can't trust anyone I know to make a proper head cast of me even if I had the materials and am a paranoid shopper when it comes to tools like a mannequin head that are over $10.
thankyou :) I am a huge marvel fan,have found myself disabled at 44 but hey being disabled from one thing means in some way or form it enables you to do something else like mask making! hell yeah aha thanks for your video pssst on the not so cool side it will save me a bomb on the polystyrene heads i was going to buy for my crochet beanies :) thanks once again aha :) x
Thank you, DaliDIY I needed a cardboard head template for my The Day The earth Stood Still, "GORT" robot, and your template worked!!!! Thank you very much and I am finding your tutorials fun and informative.
Thank you so much for this! Im currently trying to make a cosplay and i need something to put my (unfinished) wig on so it doesn't come undone (as its made out of yarn). This helps so much! Thanks again!
Great tutorial video with all the templates and everything...we create and love the arts so much and we believe you have the inborn talent within you...thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much! I just needed a quick unexpensive head stand to store a few wigs and it worked just great. Thanks again, nice tutorial and even better music ;)
I will say for being made out cardboard and paper mache pretty damn impressive what made you first attempt to make helmets this way? Just because or lack of funds?
I know this video is a bit old, but i wanted to ask where to take the measurement? Cause 170mm is 17cm (that's what my measure tape uses) and that's REALLY small, so i know it's not the full circumference, nor is it even half that. Am i only measuring from the top center of my head down to like, the bridge of my brow or what? Thank you~
Okay so I saw this and I totally winged it. I just grabbed two Cheerio boxes and went ham. Anyways it did work, doesn't look like a head, but when I paper mashe-d it it actually looked alright. Overall it fits my wigs for when I need to style them so than you! (and sorry I didn't use your advice to use your measurements)
Hey Dali, i think you can try spry over your paper tamplate on the cardboard with spry paint. it will save you alot more time and you won't need to use tape on your cardboard cuttings. :)
I’m trying to find a new way to make my paper masks look less bulky and to smooth out some edges that form from rounding the top part and this is the closest thing I can find
If you up the scale it could make a preatty decent helmet... but you would have to make a hole for the nose though, plus where do you get the templates? Do you do them yourself or do you get them online? Cause if you do them yourself you deserve some props. Keep up the good work bro, awesome vid.
Q: what r the tiny blk squares u use2 hold the bottom of ur mask making in place? Also, is that masking tape u use 2hold up the rest of the mask? Thx. I'm inspired & want 2try this but need 2make sure I buy the correct equipment, hence y I asked several Qs! Thx4 sharing!! :)
Maybe this question has been answered and if so I am sorry. When I go to print out the template it prints out small all on just one 8.5x11 piece of paper. In the video you have three pieces of paper for just one side of the head and then you tape them together to make one side. How do you enlarge the image to get it to be three pieces of paper? Thanks!
Hello! Thank you for this video, but I was wondering if the links to the templates were still working, because I was denied access after clicking on them.
How do I print it? I am on a chromebook and I only have google drive to print things. When i press ctrl p it opens the printing menu but it doesnt break off into different pages.
This is a great tutorial and is very useful. Thank you for uploading! I am going to try making this with fabric or vinyl. It will be a sawdust-stuffed mannequin head for wigs and display. Pray that I do not mess up. XD I am a bit confused about the method of measuring, however. Where around the head was the measurement taken? Was it taken around the forehead to the back of the head (where a crown would sit) or around the forehead to the nape of the neck (where a wig would sit)? Which size did you make in the video? Could I possibly scale up your pattern? How would I do that accurately? Do you have a pattern for the base or is that simply a cylinder and circle? Why do you suggest that the cardboard be smaller than the actual head? I probably missed something. I rewatched the video, but I am still not exactly sure which size would suit my needs.
