Grow Your Own Horns

“Sometimes a faery will appear with horns or antlers curving above her head. This is an example of how faeries express themselves through mythic symbols, for faery horns represent the process of renewal, regrowth, and rebirth. They are also a physical manifestation of intuitive animal powers.”

– Brian Froud, ‘Good Faeries/Bad Faeries’

Horns are quite essential for many a faerie costume, whether natural forest spirit or something a little more glittery and glitzy. For the crafty among you why not make your own - Phobe.com has an excellent guide for making them from polymer clay. If sculpting and painting your own is a little too much, Pan’s House of Horns have a great selection available.
