How To Make Foam Clay Cosplay Horns that are perfect for Lightweight Prosthetics. Foam Clay is a great material for cosplay and crafts since it is both non toxic and extremely easy to work with. In this video I show how to sculpt the foam clay, sand / add details with a Dremel rotary tool, and then paint the finished parts using heavy body acrylics. Foam Clay is an air dry material so it requires approx 24-48 hours for the moisture to wick out and at that time the clay can be sanded by hand or rotary tool. Being so lightweight you can easily use spirit gum or pros aide to attached simple prosthetics to your body.

When making multiple parts out of foam clay I personally like to keep a digital scale handy to make sure each part is the same amount of material. Maybe a little nit picky but it's nice to have!

@SKSProps 2 года назад

Great tip!

@CraigMayhem 2 года назад

Just picked up some SKS foam and it really is a LOT better than the generic stuff I was using. Cuts and sands like a dream. I'd say it's worth the higher cost, but it really isn't expensive. Worth every penny, though!

Nice tutorial. As always :) You don't have any longer (perhaps multiple parts) build videos planned? I really liked those you did earlier as well

@SKSProps 2 года назад

Thanks! It just depends week to week what I’m interested in or what inspires me to build then how complex the build is

Awesome! Have fun 👍

@alfredozavala9753 2 года назад

@@SKSProps alguna vez pensé hacerlo con unos moldes d yeso con los q hice unos colmillos hace algunos años

@SKSProps 2 года назад

@@alfredozavala9753 The only problem with plaster is that it pulls out to much water and the foam clay will probably stick to the sides. the silicone has enough flex to not deform the foam clay and it's smooth surface helps it release easier

@shadowlan14 Год назад

Hey Steven, I love your videos; they have helped me so much! I had a question regarding priming foam clay, is it okay to use plastidip? I believe KamuiCosplay said she uses flexbond, but I can't seem to get my hands on any, is plastidip a suitable replacement, and will it prevent my foam clay from cracking? thanks in advance! great video!!

@SKSProps Год назад

Yes you can use plasti dip, flexbond, or creature cast those are my favorite sealers for foam or foam clay

@shannondh83 2 года назад

What was the total drying time for the horns? Does freezing make any difference in the total drying time? If you paint them when the center is still not totally dry will the whole thing fall apart? How large of an item can you make with the foam clay? Is it just for details?

@SKSProps 2 года назад

Freezing the clay just help with demolding they still need to air dry for 24 hours after they come out of the mold before you sand or paint. Painting them at that time and having the center still squishy won't affect the stability of the clay at all. For larger horns and items I usually make a base out of tin foil for stability, to use less foam clay, and to help it dry faster. All of the horns I made for my armor in the "How to cosplay with eva foam" video are done in this technique

@shadowmergence 2 года назад

Like 500! Noice. BTW, Steve-- could you use these horns with silicone to make them look more like they're bursting from the skin? How could that be accomplished?

@SKSProps 2 года назад

I had a FX friend use some similar foamclay horns along with prosthetic makeup putty and they looked like they were protruding from the skin

@M4RZ1P4N 2 года назад

does dry foam clay glue onto other objects (foam, plastic, etc) like normal foam, or do you have to use other methods?

@SKSProps 2 года назад

It glued on just fine you can use super glue or contact cement

@M4RZ1P4N 2 года назад

ah good to know

@Nevae_696 9 месяцев назад

Question can also just use eye lash glue if I can’t fine the prosthetics glue

@SKSProps 9 месяцев назад

I think any low adheasion glue would be fine I'm sure it is similar to prosaide or spirit gum

@MaryJane-ty9ne Год назад

I have a question. I made some air dry foam horns lately out of colored air dry foam clay. Unfortunately I found that the color bleeds if they get wet with sweat or anything such of the like. Do you have any suggestions on a particular coating I could put on them to prevent this from happening? I put a couple layers of gloss exterior lacquer on them, unfortunately to no avail. And I'm afraid that resin would make them too heavy. Do you have any suggestions?

@SKSProps Год назад

First I’d probably say to get non colored foam clay then you don’t have to worry about the dyes running out of the product. I’ve personally never used colored foam clay but I’ve painted acrylics onto my grey clay and that has worked great because the acrylics won’t run. But to seal them I’d try mod podge, flexbond, or Vallejo gloss or matte sealers

@MaryJane-ty9ne Год назад

@@SKSProps Thank you very much!!! I appreciate it.

@mrs9740 Год назад

Do you have a video on how to do the bolt push molds?

@SKSProps Год назад

No but it’s as simple as taking a bolt hot gluing a cup or box around it and filling it with silicone Punished props and I made silicone molds on his channel for the foam clay horns I made for Paige you might check that video out

@Dragontamer179 2 года назад

So does the foam clay not need o be primed like typical EVA foam, or did you just skip that step because it’s a quick and basic tutorial?

@SKSProps 2 года назад

You can prime it if you’d like. I’ve used Plasti dip and fx clear primer on other builds before but on this small build I just added the heavy body paints directly to the foam clay

@EricaSiqueira Год назад

Essa espuma é equivalente ao E.v.a?

@SKSProps Год назад

Not really, it is soft in the beginning but will eventually become rock hard as the mositure wicks out

@user-xl1dz2em9r 10 месяцев назад

I wonder if I can use them on a crochet item that I make like. A dragon

@SKSProps 10 месяцев назад

The clay is extremely light. You can attach them using hot glue or e6000

@krazykage9210 2 года назад

Could you you the clay to help hide seems?

@SKSProps 2 года назад

Yes you’d want to wet the foam apply the clay and let it dry. it sands really well with sanding sponges which is something you can’t do with kwik seal If you check out my Loki crown video I used foam clay just for that purpose on the curved horns
