Description I've made a tutorial for how to make a Vocaloid headset. Feel free to use it. If there are any other tutorials that you'd like to see, let me know and I'll see what can do! <3

EDIT: I've decided to include Frequently Asked Questions in this description since I've gotten so many of the same questions. ^^ I'll add more questions as they come up. Hopefully this will help clear things up. If you ask a question that is in the FAQ's area, I'll be less likely to answer. Sorry. :<

SECOND EDIT: suggested putting a glow-in-the-dark paint on the yellow and blue foam to make it glow. I think it's a good idea and definitely worth a shot!

FAQ:

Q.: How are the ear pieces attached to the headband?
A.: I made a small indent into the ear pieces. Then, I put a heavy duty glue (like E-6000 or Liquid Fusion) into the indent and pressed the headband into it. I held it there until it held on its own (about 30 minutes); then, I let it fully cure, which took about 24 hours.

Q.: How did you make your bow?
A.: I now have a tutorial for that as well! : D [link]

Q.: How did you attach the bow to the headset?
A.: The headset and the bow are actually 100% separate. In all the official reference picture I had come across, the bow is actually slightly behind the headset, so I just bobby-pinned the bow in place behind the headset.

Q.: You made this tutorial for the twins' headsets. Can I use it for (insert other Vocaloid)? Or can you make a tutorial for (insert other Vocaloid)'s headset?
A.: I made this tutorial since I was already making the headset for Rin. While I'm sure you can use this tutorial as a basis for the other Vocaloids, I don't have any plans on making different tutorials for the different headsets.

Hope you enjoy!

You could probably use this tutorial as a base point and then modify it to work from there.

Thanks. Here's an idea, put glow-in-the-dark paint on the yellow and blue foam to make it glow.

Is the Rin in the tutorial you? And if so, did you go to MOtaku2011 or Naka-kon2012? Very familiar looking.

SailorAnime In reply to Len9 [2012-02-12 16:08:46 +0000 UTC]

The measurements are based entirely on the size of your own ear. :3

SailorAnime In reply to Len9 [2012-02-12 16:58:14 +0000 UTC]

I got my Model Magic from Micheal's, but it should be available at any store with craft supplies (i.e. Joanna fabrics, WalMart, etc.).

SailorAnime In reply to SakuraRozupetar1230 [2012-01-13 06:49:56 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm. Maybe make a stencil out of cardboard or paper first? Or put a ruler down to get a smoother cut?

Awesome for when I want to cosplay as someone, however I was more looking into working wireless ones. Bummer.
Still I might refer my friend to this page if she wants to cosplay as a vocaloid...

SailorAnime In reply to TenshiNoYuna [2011-10-04 03:37:42 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, you should be able to get all of it WalMart. I'm not really sure what the total price ended up being, since I just used stuff I already had. If I had to guess, I'd say around $20?
