Create devil horns with the Devil-Ettes in 5 easy steps!

  • Add Note x

Sassy, sultry, yet utterly all-American, the San Francisco-based Devil-Ettes put on a kid-friendly, wickedly wild, high-energy show featuring historical dances from the heyday of 1960s go-go, including the Hully Gully, the Twist, the Frug, and the Watusi. They've also perfected the art of making devil horns.

  • Make the ends pointy and bend them in, forming horns.

Add Note Edit Step 2  ¶ 

  • Stand horns upon the flat ends.

  • Then insert a toothpick through each base, to allow for the elastic cord(this is what keeps them on your head!).

  • Allow horns to dry for 2-3 days.

  • After they're set (about 1 day), rotate the toothpicks daily.

Add Note Edit Step 3  ¶ 

  • Pour glue into a dish.

  • Holding the horn by the toothpick, paint the horn with glue, then dip it into glitter.

  • Let dry, and then add another coat of glue and glitter to make sure the horn is extra sparkly.

  • Once drying is complete, remove toothpicks.
