Doll horns, tails, and wings

Postby Broken_Doll_Dreams » Sat Jan 07, 2012 9:17 am

A lot of my mh ocs have horns, tails, and wings. I plan to make custom dolls for all of them, but haven't idea how to make or attach these things to the doll. Does anyone have tips or tutorials, or ways how to make and attach doll horns, wings, and tails?

Most of the ones I've seen use small magnets that go both sides of the head/wig/clothes. :)

I see, well that seems like a good Idea. I have no idea where to find them though

I'd try craft shops first, then maybe a DIY store, and if all else fails there's always ebay. :)

most people use rare earth magnets which you can't usually find at the average craft store. I buy mine from here: http://www.kjmagnetics.com/

Check out this tutorial on attaching cat ears.

The principle would be the same for other parts but you will need to make adjustments (probably magnet size and pull strength) due to the increased weight of things like tails and wings.

Other attachment routes involve drilling permanent holes through body parts for elastic or wire pegs or gluing parts on permanently.
