Planning to train your dragon? Or perhaps embark on an epic voyage in your longship? Well, this DIY helmet will help you look the part. Made from relatively simple, inexpensive materials, this pattern creates an impressive result.
A highly adaptable pattern, this helmet is not just for the vikings among us, you could easily adapt it for a knight helmet, archer helmet or foot soldier helmet as well.

Hey everyone, since making this video I've changed some of my preferred paints. You can check out my current favourite paints and supplies on my Amazon page (affiliate link) www.amazon.com/shop/lostwax
Just wanted to let you know how awesome this pattern is! We purchased it and used the it to make 4 helmets and shields for a winter canoe race in Kenora , Ontario we just participated in. They were a big hit with the crowd and stood up well to the elements and rigor of a race. I think they helped us channel our inner Vikings because we WON! Thanks soooo much!
+Adrianne Jeswiet So good to hear!! And way to go!! One question, how do you canoe in the winter in Kenora……..Love to see a pic of that:)
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for the great plans, and I love the video too.
We are having a Viking party next weekend and I made 4 of these. Everybody has to bring a bottle of wine and the best outfit will win all the bottles. These helmets are really going to give us a good shot at the loot!
Sweet! Let us know when you win!!!
you're like the nerd Bob Ross. Oh my god your voice is so soothing oh my god. (also this is totally how I'm making my shovel knight helmet, THANK YOU!!!!)
Dude sounds like Rick Steves
Since you moved back to Canada, now a Steampunk hockey armor is in order :D
you know it took long cause at the end he grew a beard
To make a Spartan helmet will be incredible
cool concept i like it you can actually stop at anytime of the build and you will have many diffrent helms
Love the intros and B-roll. I'm going to attempt this one as my first project. Thanks for the inspiration!
Have fun! It's a great choice for a first project.
Your tuts are always amaze ball and hilarious. Thanks for being awesome!
SWEET! just what I needed, well it actually solved a problem I was having with a project I'm working on and found the solution in this vid thanks! I'm so getting this pattern,com on who doesn't need a viking helmet? you total rock thanks!
Amazing job!
Just bought the pattern gonna attempt it tonight
Looks awesome. Take the horns off and It will even be quite historically accurate! :D. Nice job
Thanks a lot!
wear it all the time! Awesome! btw very understanding family! your kids will have some stories to tell when they're in their sixties, and your wife is elderly but you are still quite young due to your helmet. ;)
+Joseph Limbrick :)
An easier way to do rivets is to superglue googly eyes onto your piece. Perfect shape.
starmekitten or use thumb tacks!!
Or use dried split peas, sold near beans and rice. Cheap.
Wow, impressive, only 26 comments about viking horns out of 153, that must be some kind of record, usually it's well over half.
Really awesome build! All of your work is great, keep it up!
Thanks:)
I'm curious as to where the myth came from like was there another group with horned helmets and people just confused them with Vikings or was it just movies that portrayed them that way
darkest3angel3 Well they used horns as, well, horns, like the instrument kind. But when one was found next to a helmet it was assumed that it was part of a helmet and not as an instrument. But I have no idea whether that is right I could be completely wrong, I'm sure being RUclips someone will correct me :)
SuperNova they were also used for drinking. I think one of the main reasons for the horned helmet stereotype happened because of an opera of some kind, although i am not sure if this is true or not.
That intro was amazing
This is a perfect starting point on the Inquisitor helmet from Dragon age! Thank you for this awesome video.
Wow, I've never seen foam work done with hot glue before. I can't even manage a helmet with contact adhesive. I'll definitely be trying the 5cm at a time 'technique'. Thank you for the video!
Yep, I have been using hot glue almost exclusively for the last couple of years and love it. It is really helpful if you have a glue gun with adjustable temp so you can keep the glue as cool as possible- less burnt fingers, and less time to hold sections together until it cools. Also here's a little vid about getting smooth seams: ruclips.net/video/KqUxAOILUnM/видео.html
Great Job.
Super great!
You are an awesome guy and dad! Love your videos. So inspirational and much fun to watch. Greetings from Austria!
This is amazing. I can't understeand why this video has so little likes
Love, Love, Love.!! I love dragons....maybe you could come up with something with a dragon theme.....hoping...
i like your voice! it's very kind!
I love your videos!! They're useful, fun and very clear. Excellent patterns and ideas!
I just bought your patterns and they're great! They already have the guides. Thank you.
Glad you like them!!
Chris, your so imaginative and creative! I loved the opening sequence. Your work is amazing!
And I just wanted to say that your steam punk hat video is what inspired me to start "making stuff." :) So thank you so much!!
So I purchased this pattern from you and made three helmets for my buddy's annual Viking Costume Party... Love the pattern and your videos! Keep it up, I'm already planning next years Halloween costume (I usually do 2-3 costumes and go pretty big) and I'm probably gonna use some of your plans for that too. One thing I added to this helmet was a metal wire around the outside (beneath the foam band) to help with a more of a custom fitted shape.
Nice. Thanks for the feedback!
I'm finally getting around to making this helmet and am glad the videos is so comprehensive. Its a great help!
I purchased your package and can't wait to try more of your templates. Thanks again!
Thanks for that, I will have look at it again, though I haven't had anyone mention this before, so I'm wondering if it's possible something went together not quite right.....
@@LostWax I'm editing my comment as I didn't understand the PDF. Definitely not your template. User error for sure. I told you I was new...
@@DonFassbender No problem! if you can't get it figured out, send me a pic of what you've got at lostwaxozcontact@gmail.com and I'll help you out:)
You don't know me but I am also super great. Like your videos, Inspiring stuff. I specially like the deep sea diver helmet.
Thank you so much for the patterns, I'll start working on mine today!
resourceful...and simply marvelous. I love how much ease you explain your tutorials, they fill me with the confidence to try. I love these. Your humor is a great addition. I hope life is good to you and your family upon your return to Canada...wish you all much prosperity.
+Laura Ferraro Thank you!
Great video thanks a bumble
Love your patterns and your videos. You're awesome and adorable. Thanks for being a little ray of sunshine. Cheers
+likeloislaine Awww, thanks:)
love the new pattern, keep them coming. and congratulations on the baby, hope mom is doing well. Oh and i made your cat mask Blythe size I'll email you a picture if I can. ally
+Alison Jackson Awesome! Thanks.
good helmet , you are very good
Here's an idea for you. Plague doctor mask. I'm thinking like the one worn by Plague Knight in Shovel Knight. All patterns I've found don't go under the chin like his, and I would like this style to complete my collection of plague masks.
+Adam Van Driest Mmm, I have started making some drawings for a plague doctor mask, so that will be coming up in the near future…..
+Lost Wax I'm sure it will be wonderful, can't wait for it!
Love these tutorials! You definitely need to these more often.
I like to use vinyl pads for my rivets. I get them at Ace Hardware.. cheap and uniformed. o bad smell to deal with like epoxy.
well done! and funny video! thanks for sharing!
Another great pattern and hilarious video. Hope all is well with you and family.
+Chiller Giller Thanks! Yes we are doing well:)
my first video of this channel, well done, subbed!
I love your videos!
Video ist gute Arbeit 👍🏻
I used one of your patterns about 4 weeks ago to make a top hat, and after a lot of searching for cheap foam, I found a diamond plated foam floor mat at Walmart. It was HUGE, and I thought..."that's a lot of top hats." So I bought it. Glad to see you're using the same stuff. So my questions for you are: Your videos are so professionally done, do you have someone that helps you write a script, film, and edit? I'd love to see a behind-the-scene video. And do you have another side job, besides the things you sell on your website and your patterns? And where can we find you're upcoming podcast?And about this video... I have no need for a Viking helmet, but this was so hilarious and oozing with awesomeness, that I just can't help reconsider. Hey, a Viking helmet can come in handy, right?
+Jennifer Clark Thanks for your awesome comments and questions,. I LOVE my big foam floor mat that I made the viking helmet from, it's denser than the camping mat foam that I have used in most of my other vids, so it holds it's shape well. I will answer your questions on our podcast, which I think should be this Tuesday- I will put the link in the video description once it is up.
Have a super great day!!!!
i wanna look like a dovakhiin, looks perfect, got the beard already, just need the longer hair
amazing!
Well Done! Thank you.
Viking style arm our please !!
great video, your tutorials and patterns are always great!
Thank you i needed this!
Sweet tutorial man. Thanks for the help
i am not hating or aything now, but to make an accurate viking helmet, remove the horns, as vikings here in scandenavia didnt use horns :) but this looks really cool :D i really like it :D
+tornado77881 Yeah, I did realise that when I made the pattern, but the cliche works- if you see a helmet with horns, you immediately think- VIKING!
+Lost Wax when you see a medieval style helmet with horns you emmidietaly think viking, or skyrim!
Me being quite a viking fan 'hate' all 'viking' helmets with horns as they keep spreading the wrong message about vikings. And this I'd say is more a roman style helmet with horns, vikings did not have neck guards nor cheeck guards, although some had chainmail down protecting the neck, and very few had chainmail covering the the whole face, except the eyeslits. Although chainmailed helmets were considerably more rare as they were obviously more expensive than without chain. :)

The Gjermundbu helmet is the only viking helmet ever found, there has never been found any other helmets than that which is why there is a single ddesign to viking helmets.
+tornado77881 Wearing a horned helmet would allow for an enemy to yank you down and stab you in the neck.
Chris your EPIC and I feel like I should share a portion of the super parent points Ive earned from my kid , because of you :) from a awesome Emilia Earhart school project ( your aviators helm ) to the big top hats we are doing as after school Halloween project right now :) * even got to incorporate some community free/up cycling by using recovered foam items like yoga mats/ sleep pads and play area floor mats !! keep them coming please ^*^
Loved it, as always!
you are amazing thank you!
if you don't put the horns on it looks like the blades helmet from the elder scrolls
if someone comments the horn thing again....
just what I want to say !
Yeah seriously, we know they didn’t have horns, but it looks damn good anyways!!!
Fantástico! Y la explicación muy clara! Gracias!
too cool. im surprised the horns were strong enough to support groceries. Also, can you do a red hood mask? Ive looked at a couple DiYs, but none of them look quite right. (Because this has been done a couple times by other you-tubers, i understand if you are not so hot on the idea)
OK guys! Everyone knows that Vikings didn't had horns on they're helmets! So now that everyone knows you so intelligent and wise, just make the helmet without horns. It is made to be a fantasy costume item not an accurate historic reproduction !
AWESOME :)
Just bought this template for a cosplay, first time building ANYTHING, but I feel like im going to use plastidip and a heatgun.
Awesome, I hope it turns out for you!!
Cool...Chris! Now where do u get a big rubber mat???
sweet
Love this one! Your job is amazing!
Okay, but I'd love if you made a Dragonborn (Skyrim) version of this.
good
You're in Canada now?! Enjoy winter :D
+Viridis Arborem not winter yet but it's coming soon!!! beurk
Where do you find the foam to make the helmet part? Craft foam is easy, but I can't figure out what you use. It looks like the floor mats from the gym, but thinner. Help? Thanks!
looks like the blades helmet from skyrim
Could u make some sky rim style arm our ?
Can you make an armor?
make a steampunk plague doctor
could you make a redhood mask
Please make videos more :( your really awesome and I LOVE the stuff you make . And did you grow a beard?!
Not what a Viking helmet would look like but it's ok
Great tutorial!
But I always wonder about how you make the patterns, it looks kinda complicated. So do you have any tips on how to make your own patterns?
Can you do a white run guard helmet and a shield from Skyrim
good idea, thanks, I'll put it on the list.
love the tutorial, but that's just a modified roman helmet with horns on it!
I love your videos. How do you plan out your cutout patterns. 3D modeling? or pencil and paper and Photoshop?
Omg I wish we were neighbors...ha
how long have you been making things
How thick is the foam you are using for the helmet ? great tutorial
Where do you get the thicker foam?
I hate hot glue! not really, but I sort of do after doing the main part of the helmet with just hot glue! is the reason for not using contact cement just the toxic fumes aspect? it was so much easier on the other projects, after this on I might make it again with contact cement and just wear my respirator. I can't believe you got your horns to work with the hot glue lol, I have ripped mine apart 4 times now to start over.
+Christine Virginia Yeah. Contact cement is way easier to work with. If you can do it outside you are alright, but I just can't think doing it inside even with a respirator can be good for you. I guess I have been rethinking a lot about chemicals since my son was diagnosed with leukaemia. You just don't know what they are doing to you….. Hey the one good thing about hot glue is if you mess up, you can heat it up with a blowdryer, and it all comes apart:)
+Lost Wax I only use the contact cement outdoors (for safety of my kids and because the flammability issues scare me too), but I have asthma so I wear the respirator anyways.
sorry to hear about your son I will keep him in my prayers :(
I didn't even think about reheating hot glue! Will it work with the high temp stuff? if not I will have to get a low or multi temp glue gun, since all I have right now is high temp.
Love the tutorial!! Quick question, did you apply mod podge over everything after completion or just leave as is??
I'm on the final steps and just need to apply my metallic luster. So far it's been an amazing and fun project. Thanks again!!
You can do either, If you are just gonna wear it once or twice, you could just leave it. The metallic paste will wear off over time, so I like to apply a layer of mod podge after it is all finished.
Yep, exactly what byronboy55 said:)
+byronboy55 sounds good! Thanks for the help!!!
Cool thanks. By the way about hot glue, is it strong enough compared to contact cement? I just knew from your video that hot glue is non toxic. It interests me. I prefer non toxic stuff :)
Yep, generally once you glue something together with the hot glue, if you try pull it apart, the foam will rip rather than the glue. The great thing is that if you mess up, you can heat up the seam and unglue it to try again. Just don't leave it in a hot car.....
+Lost Wax Thx a lot for the reply.
Where did you learn to make patterns? There amazing! :)
That's awesome :) How do you come up with this stuff?
Hello comment avoir les mesures en cm?bravo c est cool
please make a pirate hat
HI lost wax
Hi!
Lost Wax your are an artist
Or just skip the horns to make it more like an Viking helmet :) very good tutorial tho!
Hey Chris, i've always wanted to make this stuffs, but i wanted to ask, is there any other way to buy the patterns? the website you put them only accepts credit card and well, all i have is a debit card.
+Mr Jara At this point the only way to accept payment for me is with credit card or PayPal. Have you tried your debit card with PayPal?
+Lost Wax yah, but it doesn't accept it ToT
i'm gonna have to ask a friend to buy them for me XD
i hope i can get the steampunk goggles before halloween so i can complete my costume ahhahaha
oh! loved the helmet by the way, it only needs a viking beard to match ahaha
cant wait to see the next video.
cheers!
hay :) I really love this video, I can't seem to get the patten though it keeps crashing on me! so sad if you could help I would really be thankful xx
HI there, If you email me at lostwaxozcontact@gmail.com I can help you out.
