DIY Cardboard Head Form - with free template (size S, M, L) | Homemade Costume Prop

[@SamuelBoshier]

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!

[@DALILOMODIY]

thanks, have fun :)

This is an incredibly moving video, not just for the talent you possess but also the way you present that talent. Strong work @Dali DIY!

[@DALILOMODIY]

thanks :)

[@xxxtheshadowxxx6085]

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

[@marcshaman7984]

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.

[@kellyepotts2780]

When you spend a lot of money on wigs but you're too cheap to buy a foam head. KZbin has got your back.

[@alfvierth3971]

OR if you want a lightweight base for your paper clay portrait sculpture! VERY useful!

It take so long to find a decent video like this

[@DALILOMODIY]

share it with all your friend & family :)

[@Daniel-yn7qc]

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!!😉

[@DALILOMODIY]

thanks :)

[@kawaiigamer2494]

I don’t think I can do this! But the DIY is amazing! 👏👏👏

dude you saved my life! Thank you for the tamplates!!!!!!

[@gregprzybylinski5286]

I'm I awe of your skills. Love your channel and your projects.

[@DALILOMODIY]

thanks :)

[@ChelseaKomschlies]

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

[@DALILOMODIY]

+Chelsea Komschlies yes Tchaikovsky is great :)

[@iammeandyouaremeable]

Thank you for this. I can use this to display my knitted hats I sell.

[@libby806]

Ok grandma you have a nice day 😂

[@joydot.dot.dot.8040]

Where do you sell them?

[@scaredycats2794]

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)

[@dorothyyawe8169]

The best so far!

[@kilogram064]

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.

[@DALILOMODIY]

you know your music, nice!

[@SaiTurtlesninjaNX]

So you made a new head and gave us a free template. Grate this should really come in hand.

[@richardnyquist7778]

You, sir, are a genius. An absolute genius.

[@DALILOMODIY]

Richard Nyquist thanks for watching :)

[@tracyfoster7989]

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

[@DALILOMODIY]

+Tracy Foster cool! :)

[@theNDNartist]

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.

[@DALILOMODIY]

thanks, have fun :)

[@AUTOCON-xk4hv]

Thx dude really needed this vid for my projects on masks or just to use it in my mask

[@moogman5801]

I think I'm going to weld one out if sheet metal tomorrow. Neat idea. I'll just plasma cut the shapes by hand.

[@DALILOMODIY]

awesome!

[@AA-ky4qg]

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)

[@pewdiepaul6928]

Zane Woods your just braging

[@ignisking759]

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.

[@stiepard]

thanks for great tutorial and template. I just made my first cardboard head 👍

[@DALILOMODIY]

[@DALILOMODIY]

Sam Bennett, yes plaster strip works fine too, but make sure not to apply too many layers, otherwise it will get larger than the real head :)

[@JusticebyYHVHsoon]

Hello Mr. Dali DIY have You considered ever making a Darth Vader Helmet?

[@DALILOMODIY]

[@itsrichardintt]

I must give my thanks to you for this important tutorial. In tribute to you I am posting a photo of what I did.

[@saratorrice3448]

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)

[@DALILOMODIY]

awesome! :)

[@demonpupkota7418]

thank you for the template and instead of using glue and plaster I used duck tape. I also made shoulders for him.

[@talmeirav3862]

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. :)

[@DALILOMODIY]

tal meirav good idea, sometime i'm too lazy to go outside & spray :)

i bet you could use some paper mache mix or paper clay to form more natural looking facial features. This is an incredibly handy video.

[@DALILOMODIY]

yes

[@lacayoj]

I appreciate the music too...

[@Paper_Cuts]

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

[@jatinmalik6104]

What if I want to make a 3D Chess piece from this method

[@adaliaholder3709]

Thanks for the template it helped alot

[@EricFaries]

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~

[@DALILOMODIY]

[@EricFaries]

@@DALILOMODIY Thank you very much! (sorry for late reply, been a crazy week @.@)

[@UndetectableSn1per]

Nice! You from Malaysia?

[@jamesonthomas9583]

So basically you used your head form to make your head form

[@DALILOMODIY]

yes, that's why you need to watch the old head form video too :)

[@jamesonthomas9583]

Dali DIY Oops, I thought this was the original (my bad)

[@joshuastuck985]

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!
