Cool!! What are the horns made off?
I had several pairs of deer antlers from my uncle lying around the garage, so I got a roll of KOBRACAST, picked out a pair that weren’t too big and I molded it to the antlers themselves and then just cut them out, melting the seam together afterwards. I then covered them in wood glue, i let some of it run down the antlers and dry up in small drops to make up the bumpy texture at the base of them. When the glue dried, I used sandpaper and ran it up and down the length of the antler, scratching up the glue to give it a bit of a used texture overall. I used a sponge and light brown paint to give the base some colour and to fade out into the lighter colour of the glue, which I was lucky was close to the same colour as actual antlers. So they’re completely hollow and plastic. Making them very light but also durable. Then I used some more KOBRACAST to make a sort of shell on the inside of the wig mesh, reinforcing it, and then screwed the antlers into it, so that I don’t have to worry about the antlers being displaced. The wig and antlers are all one piece.
