Tutorial Diary:: Kitty Ears Walkthrough (2/2)

This walkthrough was prompted from some comments I got in the ThreadBanger forums about my gold horns- So I'm offering a more step-by-step walkthrough on making some polymer clay ears. n...n

I hope this helps those who were asking about them. n....n!

No music, today. I suck, I know. I'm boring.

ohh thank you soooo much*-*

i needed to know how to do something like this for a cosplay,and finally i've found it! But i haven't understood really well what kind of glue do i have to use ... could you tell me if i have to use a vinyl glue or another tipe?

[meandrousart]

@BurningPhobos I think I just used hot glue in there, but I've pretty much stopped using hot glue. It doesn't hold to plastic or metal well. I really would rather suggest e600 glue. It's my new favorite! I'm glad if it can be a useful video to you. Take care!

[lilpixie87]

would you use the same kind of glue to put on fluffy feather-like stuff for the inner ear fluff?

[meandrousart]

Honestly I think that really depends on how much fluffy stuff you're using. Fluff can be really fine and if you're using only a small amount, something like hot glue is so thick and plentiful that all your fluff might mash down and look limp and icky. So I'd either use a lot of fluff or maybe even try a thinner glue like just elmer's glue and see how that works. It's kind of hard to say without seeing what material you're actually using. Just make a small test piece maybe and experiment.

You are really creative ^^ Thanks so much for the tutorial! This will save me so much money on a cheap halloween costume from party city -_-

[meandrousart]

Heck yeah. Down with commercial Halloween costumes! My mum spoiled me in early life by always making our costumes so I've never purchased one before. Once I found out how much people spend on them and saw how they're even really flimsy I was kind of shocked.

LOL a hello kitty aid band ! :D

Cute ears !! never thought to make them from non fabric things~

[jerrypolence]

Generally, 2 - 2.5 inch for the middle for both ears work. if you want it really smooth you can just use sand paper to smoothen them out ^_^
