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!!

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!🤘

[@CosplayApprentice]

Haha, thanks my friend!! Let me know how it goes if you use it for your helmets! :)

[@devilskullBEL]

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

[@catherinefisher6188]

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!

[@CosplayApprentice]

Yay!! I'm so glad you found the channel too!!!! :)

[@rmoosepig]

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!

[@CosplayApprentice]

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!!!

[@whittlyarts]

I'm thinking about doing this for wigs!! I think it'll definitely work if I modify the foam top for cushioning, I think the play might be to make it bigger for a head shape.

[@nbashorts1360]

The Wonder Woman 1984 helmet is so awesome!

[@CosplayApprentice]

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! :)

[@crushcity3034]

Fantastic idea

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks!!! 😃

[@CH-gz3zu]

Insanely helpful. Insanely clever. Thanks for this video!! (subscribed!!)

[@billythomas4016]

This is exactly what I needed! I collect autographed football helmets, I will be making these ASAP!

[@maxmaurmanns9697]

Did it work with football helmets? I want to do this but I'm a little bit scared the helmets might be to heavy

[@OstlerHouseDesign]

Amen! 🙌 My husband leaves his helmets every where!! 😘

[@CosplayApprentice]

You should share this video with him so he can have a place to put them ;)

[@OstlerHouseDesign]

@@CosplayApprentice you would like him, he's a stud.

[@CosplayApprentice]

@@OstlerHouseDesign hahahahaha 😂

[@marianam8643]

Hi, great video. I am thinking of using this method for motorcycle helmets. They are about 4 pounds. Will this hold? Thanks in advance

[@CosplayApprentice]

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 :/

[@marianam8643]

@@CosplayApprentice thanks, and you are right, insane

[@patrickkavanagh7371]

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.

[@CosplayApprentice]

Yay! Totally, I didn't think about adding it to existing furniture as well, that's a brilliant idea! :)

[@Gregors85]

I don't have a heat gun. Would a blow dyer work?

[@CosplayApprentice]

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. :)

[@LizFrederick82]

Would this work for large cosplay horror masks??

[@LadyMysanthrope]

Would this work for the heavier replica helmets like the Black series?

[@CosplayApprentice]

Should work just fine, they are quite sturdy. :)

[@pixlMan828]

awesome idea.. thanks brotha

[@sam_yang]

Can you mount without the use of nails? Double sided tape?

[@CosplayApprentice]

I think it would depend on how heavy the helmet is going on it :)

[@brandonharrison1672]

Dude thank you so much

[@CosplayApprentice]

No problem :)

[@Clonewar501st]

Great tip👍👍👍

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks!! Thanks for watching!!! :)

[@IsaiahDraws]

This is a fantastic idea!! Thank you for sharing!

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks!! Glad you like it! :).

[@kevinostler3613]

What a stud!

[@CosplayApprentice]

Hahaha Right!?!?! :)

[@olivernielson8169]

Can you rotate the helmet to the side on this mount?

[@CosplayApprentice]

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. :)

[@wiz8914]

I only have one helmet, but what a great idea!

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks! :) Sounds like you need to make some more so you have more to hang up then ;)

[@aprilblackregentart6647]

This is amazing!!

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks April! Now you'll have something to show off your Wonder Woman Helmet on! :)

[@batmanofsanantonio5331]

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)

[@CosplayApprentice]

Hahaha, perfect!! Can't wait to see how they turn out for you!!! :)

[@ozem99]

That so cool thanks

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks!!! I’m so glad you liked it!!! Thanks for your comment that helps motivate me to do more cool things :)

[@7RZ10]

This video is really great

[@itsroads206]

Sweet helmet hack! Thank you!

[@AimCT-]

Idk why I wasn't subscribed to this xD

[@CosplayApprentice]

Hopefully you are now! :)

[@hrltdncer]

This is brilliant!

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks!!! 😃

[@MrAlmostheros]

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

[@CosplayApprentice]

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. :)

[@cirespeedreviews]

Brilliant👍👍

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thank you so much!!! :)

[@robertsamo7557]

Would football helmets (full size) be able to use this or would they be to heavy ? Anyone ?

[@Bearded_Toy_Guy]

Dang, I wish I had seen this sooner before I bought motorcycle helmet holders off of Amazon last week.

[@stianbulandlie2711]

Thanks, really easy to make!-

[@CosplayApprentice]

Yay! Glad you like it! It is super simple but really effective! :)

[@Thatbrownguy454]

Great idea thanks!

[@mlgershenson]

Genius!

[@monstermorguetutorials3139]

Thanks a lot for this video. I have almost 200 mask this is awesome!!!!

[@ericnelson2982]

Why not use a 90 degree fitting instead of bending the pipe?

[@CosplayApprentice]

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 :)

[@winistan]

Dude. This shit is insane..... Thank you so much ❤❤

[@CosplayApprentice]

Yay! Happy to help! :)

[@beckymurphy4714]

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.

[@CosplayApprentice]

Perfect! Sounds like it will work great for a bunch of helmets for you! :)

[@endurblur9908]

Amen

[@patriciaorellana6469]

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!!'

[@CosplayApprentice]

Hahahaha 🤣 Sorry I scared you :)

[@warlok9]

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.

[@CosplayApprentice]

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 :)

[@paulino-n1750]

Epic

[@peteforan965]

I can say I have.......Hela...... Helmets to put on display!!!!!!!

[@frankv6459]

How is this 1.98???

[@CosplayApprentice]

I break it down in the video, also PVC pipe was less expensive at the time I made the video ;)

[@paulino-n1750]

Asome

[@CosplayApprentice]

Thanks Paulino!!

[@quantumtechcrypto7080]

WHY…didn’t you use a 20% coupon?? Hmmmmmm

[@CosplayApprentice]

20% coupon for what?

[@quantumtechcrypto7080]

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.

[@jacobpatterson9036]

Can't you just use a elbow peice

[@CosplayApprentice]

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 :)

[@KickapooNinja]

@5:02 lmao
