These are some horn I did for a faun/satyr costume.
They are ram style because the ram is my favorite of all the goats. And I also happen to be an aries. :D
It is very simple and you can make it our of stuff you have around your house, most likely.
These are also specifically for my ranaissance costume [satyr] which I will post the rest of as I complete each part.

Signing UpStep 1: Making the basic frame
I was going to make the frame out of chicken wire, but I looked and OH NO I dont have any :(
SO instead I decided to use flux [or whatever its called], a super bendy, lightweight, fast melting wire used for sodering.
Basicly, I made a triangle shape with the three points kinda like this: (.'.) if that makes sense. Then I bent it into a curly spiral shape, like a rams horn.
Its a little hand to visualize the full shape when its like this, but once your confident with the size and shape, start covering the frame with tape.
Dont do it too tight if your using wire, because it will bend it all out of shape. I did that a little bit, you can see it when i put it up to my head, but i did not do it so much so I didnt bother fixing it. I used blue duck tape because I couldnt find my masking tape. It doesnt really matter though. Duck tape just makes it heavier.

This is a good set of instructions, thanks!
FYI: a ram is a sheep, not a goat. extra digressiveness: a male goat is a properly called a buck, and extra extra digressively, both the males and females of both sheep and goats grow horns, though there are domestic breeds without them.
carry on soul-eater! chow some karmic carrion.
Grooves are rather... inhibited. -___- Could have used a better string.
And true, while my left horn is stable, my right one is constantly twirling around lackadasically.
Yet! This project really saved my Hallowe'en. I already had an antique pair of Chinese slippers that somewhat functioned as hooves. *wink*
The basics should apply to other horn ideas I have in mind.
Thanks!
And Oh: I'm using ceiling suspenders instead of solder (just whatever I had handy)
Working like a charm~
