Oct 10 🎨CRAFTS🎨 How To Make Halloween Devil Horn Hair Clips Tutorial

In the spirit of Halloween, I thought I’d make some cute devil horn hair clips. I made this years ago in college and now I want to bring into 2019.

I’m not too wild about costumes because they’re a waste of money for a one-time wear, so I usually put together Halloween-themed outfits to celebrate the spooky holiday. These hair clips were a hit and now I’m going to teach you how to make them. It’s easy, I promise!

Materials

Polymer clay

You can choose any color you like. For mine, I’m using red.

Hair clips

They need to have a flat base so you can glue the horns on them.

Clay slicer

This is used to cut the clay smoothly and evenly.

Super glue

You'll use this to attach the horns to the hair clips.

Clay oven

As with any polymer clay project, you'll need an oven dedicated to baking clay.

Optional: Glossy varnish

After baking the horns, you can coat them with a varnish that gives them a glossy shine.

Instructions

Step 1

Take a good amount of clay for each horn and roll them into a ball. The size of the ball depends on how big you want your horns. For these, I’m doing 1 inch.

Step 2

Once you have your ball, roll it into a cylinder. The length depends on how long you want your horns. I’m going to do 1 ½ inches.

Step 3

Take the edge of the cylinder and roll it into a point.

Step 4

Cut off the dull end so that you’re left with a straight horn.

Step 5

Curve the pieces so that the horns look more natural.

Step 6

Bake the horns in the clay oven according to the instructions on the brand of clay you’re using. After baking, let them cool before proceeding to the next step.

Step 7

Once the horns are cooled off, position them on the hair clip depending on how you’ll wear them.

Step 8

Put a small amount of super glue on the hair clip and attach the horn to it. Wait a couple of minutes for the glue to dry.

Step 9: Optional

You can leave your horns like this, or you can add a shiny varnish. In my case, I want them to be shiny. Once the varnish dries, they’re ready to wear!

Results

These are just too adorable. It’s a simple way to dress up for Halloween or you can wear these just for fun! You can even add glitter, paint patterns over it, and anything else your creativity comes up with.
