Nothing looks cooler than a cow skull hung up in a kitchen or sitting outside with some other country decor. I love how one of these instantly gives whatever space you put it in a cowboy vibe.

Maybe you don’t have immediate access to a longhorn skull, maybe you’re against using a real one, or maybe you’re looking for your next sculpting project.

Regardless of reasoning, this DIY makes an awesome skull alternative.

Abby Leighton creates this with just a few cheap items: clay, spray paint, hot glue, and rope. To make a stand, you’ll need some wood and a dowel.

If you want your sculpture to be a little more detailed, invest in some sculpting tools as well. It’s well worth it for the final result!

You can get super detailed an add teeth, cracks in the skull, and more. The final look is up to you!

This was surprisingly simple to sculpt and I still can’t believe how much it looks like a cow skull. Give Abby’s tutorial a try and let us know how yours turns out!
