    Though I have to say with the masking tape on at 1.59 it looks like you have cut off some poor Elf's ears to string on a necklace. Remember people, GOBLIN ears for your quest reward, not any pointy ears out there!
    Love the use of your actual makeup on it, gives it a more natural looks especially when you then use the makeup with yourself to match.

    • @byrnetdown6076
      @byrnetdown6076 3 года назад

      if creasing is the issue you should get liquidtex fabric paint medium or use paint that's already bendy (liquidtex sells a lot of paint that can basically double as fabric paint even without the medium)

  • @jayraescosplay

    • @GraceWillow
      @GraceWillow  2 года назад +2

      The paint on mine is just starting to wear off after 2-ish years and many, many wears! If I were doing this again I would do this with several SUPER thin layers of paint and sealer. I’ve also seen people just use makeup with no sealer (or a light coat of hairspray) as a temporary method of coloring their ears! I’ve seen this work really well too. I hope that was helpful!

    • @MeekaChannel

      In my experience, these ears fall off pretty easily. I bought a pair of these for my sister last minute so she had some ears to wear at renfest (I have 2 day shipping) and her ears kept falling off the entire day. I think aradani ears struggle a little bit with spirit gum maybe because their ears are a little thicker? The thinner ears from madhouse fx studio or even cosplay fx stick very easily. I’ve never tried the spirit Halloween ones.

I want to use one set for Maleficent (or a similar dark fay character) so it'd be under a headdress, but the other one I'm definitely going to repaint for a future costume.

Thanks for posting this video cause I had no idea how to do it and yours is the only video I have found about it that I understood!

    • @GraceWillow

      Aw thanks so much! On this project --I don't think it would matter all too much! I use vallejo paints (the ones I linked below) because they're really tough, smooth, and pigmented, but you can use whatever works for you! I hope that helps!

  • @jaceraat9136
    @jaceraat9136 2 года назад

    I used mr super clear, and arteza acrylics, but the paint on my ears is chipping off like crazy after just two wears. Anyone know what’s going on?

    • @GraceWillow
      @GraceWillow  2 года назад +1

      Hmm! If I had to guess it may be the acrylic paint you’re using or how you’re applying your coats of paint. Here are some potential fixes: apply your paint and your super clear in very thin coats, wait for each coat to dry completely before applying your next coat. I use Vallejo acrylic paints which are small, but a teeny bit goes a long way! You can dilute the paint in airbrush diluter or water. The paint on my ears are starting to wear off finally but it’s been just over two years of wearing them many times.
      If you prefer trying another way, get some makeup and apply it on the ears like you would your face! You can use blush, setting powder, and highlighter too. It’s not permanent, but a lot of people prefer doing it this way! I hope that was helpful.
