Diabolical Horns

Create devil horns with the Devil-Ettes in 5 easy steps!

Diabolical Horns

Sassy, sultry, yet utterly all-American, the San Francisco-based Devil-Ettes put on a kid-friendly, wickedly wild, high-energy show featuring historical dances from the heyday of 1960s go-go, including the Hully Gully, the Twist, the Frug, and the Watusi. They’ve also perfected the art of making devil horns.

  • Bowls
  • Needle
  • Paintbrush

Steps

Step #1:

NextDiabolical Horns
  • Measure an equal amount of clay for each horn.
  • By hand, roll clay into 2 balls.
  • Then, form into cones.
  • Make the ends pointy and bend them in, forming horns.

Step #2:

NextDiabolical Horns
  • Stand horns upon the flat ends.
  • Then insert a toothpick through each base, to allow for the elastic cord(this is what keeps them on your head!).
  • Allow horns to dry for 2-3 days.
  • After they're set (about 1 day), rotate the toothpicks daily.

Step #3:

NextDiabolical Horns
  • Pour glue into a dish.
  • Holding the horn by the toothpick, paint the horn with glue, then dip it into glitter.
  • Let dry, and then add another coat of glue and glitter to make sure the horn is extra sparkly.
  • Once drying is complete, remove toothpicks.

Step #4:

Diabolical Horns
  • Thread a darning needle with enough elastic to go around your head.
  • Insert threaded needle into horns.
  • Pull the elastic through, and tie off the ends.
  • Wear your horns and go-go with The Devil-Ettes!

Don't get me wrong, they're cheap and often get the job done, but they were made to not drive well. They were designed specifically in the early 20th century to cam out when too much force was applied. Now that we have torque-limiting drills this isn't a problem anymore, yet somehow we still use them.

If you need to use tape on the exterior of your project, consider placing it in a way that will bolster your piece's aesthetic. You can use it to make trim, pin stripes, or go all out and make art out of the tape itself.
