Halloween Fun: DIY Devil Horns

Here is my take on a fun project I found: DYI devil horns made from modeling clay. I have never used modeling clay for anything before but I think I might be in love with it. My mind is spinning with the endless craft possibilities. For this project you will need:

Red modeling clay

Craft glue

A paint brush

Red glitter

A plastic bag

Wide head bands

A hot glue gun

Divide the red modeling clay and shape into wee devil horns and allow them to dry. The packaging said it would take 24 hours for the clay to dry. I let it dry for 48 hours and I probably could have used another day, so allow for plenty of time for this project.

Once dry, pour some red glitter into a plastic bag and use a paint brush to coat the horns with any standard clear-drying craft glue one at a time. Coat the sides of the horns, leaving the bottom glue-free to later attach to the headbands.   Put the glue coated horn into the plastic bag with the glitter and shake it like a Polaroid picture until coated on all sides with red glittery goodness.  Allow the glitter glue to dry (a few hours).

Shake off excess glitter and attach to head bans with hot glue. Allow the hot glue to dry and rock your devil horns, like my friend Linda!

Here are Martha's directions for this project. I simplified it a bit ;o)

 

I was pretty happy with the result of this project. The clay took longer to dry than expected, but the devil horns looked great held up fairly well to  night of club hopping for an angles and demons themed party ( more on that later). We did have a few horn mishaps during the evening, but i think they were due to the clay needing just a little bit more dry time. If I had it to do over again, I'd make them a week in advance, so don't wait to start your Halloween Devil Horns!
