I made a Yule Goat mask & costume, and here is how I made it!
The costume is made with inspiration from the Yule Goat/Julbocken as well as Krampus.
Thank you for watching! :D
❄[00:04] The mask has been sculpted with a pottery clay (similar to WED clay I think).
❄[01:32] It was molded with ”Cassini's plaster”, but I recommend Jesmonite or a similar "acrylic polymer liquid"/"polymer-modified plaster" instead.
❄[02:02] ”Cast" in a paper clay which I make mainly from reused newspapers.
❄[02:30] The horns have been sculpted, molded and cast in resin.
❄[03:07] The mask has a hood of real sheep's wool that I have wet felted (the wool has been sheared from a sheep living on a farm here in Sweden).
❄[04:36] The bells on the horns, I was told are old sami reindeer bells that I bought at a thrift shop.
❄[04:41] The boots are leather sami style boots - so called näbbskor - that I dyed. I also made a pair of wool boot wraps.
❄[05:28] The knitted sweater I bought second hand and then dyed and distressed.
❄[05:58] I sewed a pair of pants with wool fabric that I also distressed.
❄[06:54] I have sewn a cloak with wool fabric, added a trim and also sheep's wool as a bottom trim + distressed it.
❄[08:05] The näverkont - a backpack made of birch bark - I also bought second hand and I added two leather straps with old sleigh bells. On the back of the näverkont there are old rusty chains, also bought second hand - they had previously been used for livestock on some farm.
❄[09:15] I made a bunch of julklappar (yule gifts), wrapped them in fabrics and sealed with wax seal stamps.
❄[10:15] The mittens have been nålbundna (needlebound) + wet felted by me, with wool yarn.
❄[10:23] I also made a tail with fabrics, wool, leather scraps and small bells.
❄[11:13] I added a couple of old wooden spoons so that the yule goat can eat his yule porridge and drink his yule mead. Also an old key - maybe a magical key that lets him enter any house during yule?
❄[11:22] My friend Magnus Marklund wore the costume to a yule/christmas market - it was great!
