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! <3EDIT: 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 measure the height of your ear and a curve from the back edge of your ear to the bottom edge of your ear.

SailorAnime In reply to bluefireuchiha [2011-06-05 23:08:00 +0000 UTC]
lol It's actually a question I get a lot. ^^ You make a trapezoid of fabric and sew a rectangle in the middle. That's probably the best way i can describe it. I might make a tutorial for it shortly though.

I just used glue to attach it. The bonds a little fragile, but it holds as long as I'm not too rough with it.
