Make 3D, Light-up, Twisted animal Horns!

Step 2 Building up the horns.

Take your tape and apply it to your garden support “horns”.  Leave a small section of the base of the garden support ‘horns’ untaped.  Build up the rest of the base of each horn by wrapping it in tape.  Allow the tape to taper off to nothing when it gets near the tip of the horn.  You now have some spare length at the base and at the tip of the horn, for handling purposes. 

 

The garden support is about 1cm thick.  If you thicken the part that ‘grows’ from the head to 3cm thick, by the time you get the outer shell finished, the completed horn will end up being about 5cm thick on the base – the part that ‘grows’ from the head.  If you want it to be thinner or thicker at the base, wrap less or more tape.
