How to Make a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

Because who should have to choose in between a flower crown and a unicorn horn? Kaia actually wanted to wear both for her Birthday, and this is exactly what I wound up with.

I didn't want a modeling clay horn held on with an "unnoticeable" flexible band. I wanted a horn that would go on easily and comfortably, one that was light-weight, was not fragile, and would stay in place well on her head while she cantered around the house wildly, rearing and jumping. Because you know that is exactly what is going to take place when you position a unicorn horn on a 4 year old.

When I made the horn, I was believing I would experiment a bit, begin figuring things out. Not the most beautiful photos, however ideally they at least make the process easy to see.

You will need:.

Craft Felt in Various Colours.
Stuffing.
Sewing Thread and Needle.
Bonus Strong Quilting Thread.
Little Length of Elastic.
Headband.
Hot glue.
Scissors.
Plastic Gems.
Material Leaves (Or Make Felt Leaves).

I used sparkly white craft felt for her horn. Aside from the reality that it is, clearly, sparkly, the shimmer felt is rather a bit stiffer. Leave the bottom open.

Cut off excess fabric, and turn right-side-out. Using additional strong quilting thread, cut a long piece, (enough to cover your spirals,) and knot off the end. Make it a good, huge knot, you don't desire it to pull through the felt once there is tension on it. Run the thread out near the idea of the horn from inside. (Not at the idea.) Pull all of it the way through, so that knot is the only part left within. Things the horn as firmly as you can, I used polyfill stuffing. Trim the bottom to even it out if necessary.

Start wrapping the thread down the horn in a spiral, tightly enough to leave a good indent. This will offer your horn a good spiraled shape, and keep the thread from slipping and moving around on the horn. (This was the part I was most unsure about. I stressed that the material would lot, or that the thread would not be strong enough to pull firmly, or that it would not stay in place. None of those worries emerged, it worked effectively.) Tie your thread off within, near the bottom of the horn. Position your horn on another piece of matching felt, trace the bottom circle, and cut it out.

Starting from the within, cover stitches around the edges of your felt, sewing the circle to the bottom of the horn, and tie it off. Attempt to conceal your knot inside, or at least away from the edge.

Stitch the flexible to the bottom of the horn. Take care to sew the elastic all the method to the edges of the horn, or the base will pull up at the front and back. Make sure that the seam holding the flexible together gets sewn to the horn, this way it will end up on top of the headband, rather of as an uncomfortable swelling against your child's internet head.

Your unicorn horn is total! Like magic, the paper horn unexpectedly transforms into a genuine one! Oh, wait ... * ehem * Anyhow, once on the headband, I included a little hot glue under the edges of the horn to assist keep it from wobbling any. I believe this would be remedied by utilizing a larger elastic band than exactly what I happened to have on hand.

Cut a range of flowers out of the coloured felt. I've no idea how well hot glue works on wool felt, however it works surprisingly on eco felt. For the large yellow flower, I just cut a bunch of strips of felt, folded them in half, then added them all together by their ends with a little thread.

Hot glue the flowers all over the headband, then hot glue the plastic gems to the centers. Make certain to overlap the base of the horn a bit and cover the rubber band. You are the proud brand-new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

I had an extremely tough time keeping her still long enough to take any photos ...

Her rainbow unicorn tail site web is now complete, total, and I have a full blown unicorn galloping around the house all home. According to Kaia, however, she currently has two ears and didn't desire any more.

Due to the fact that you know that is exactly what is going to happen when you position a unicorn horn on a 4 year old. When I made the horn, I get more info was thinking I would experiment a bit, begin figuring things out. Make sure that the seam holding the elastic together gets stitched to the horn, this way it will end up on top of the headband, rather of as an uneasy lump versus your child's head.
