Guide to Make a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

Since who should have to choose in between a flower crown and a unicorn horn? Kaia truly wished to use both for her Birthday, and this is what I ended up with.

I didn't desire a modeling clay horn held on with an "invisible" flexible band. I desired a horn that would go on easily and easily, one that was light-weight, was not vulnerable, and would stay in location well on her head while she cantered around the house wildly, rearing and leaping. Because you understand that is exactly what is going to happen when you put a unicorn horn on a 4 year old.

When I made the horn, I was thinking I would experiment a bit, begin figuring things out. I didn't expect to be delighted with the first thing I twiddled with, so I'm stuck with no pictures. I made a paper design in order to do this tutorial. Not the prettiest images, but ideally they at least make the process simple to see.

You will need:.

Craft Felt in Numerous Colours.
Stuffing.
Sewing Thread and Needle.
Extra Strong Quilting Thread.
Little Length of Elastic.
Headband.
Hot glue.
Scissors.

Fabric Leaves (Or Make Felt Leaves).

I utilized sparkly white craft felt for her horn. Aside from the fact that it is, undoubtedly, sparkly, the sparkle felt is rather a bit stiffer. Leave the bottom open.

Make it a great, huge knot, you don't desire it to pull through the felt as soon as there is tension on it. Run the thread out near the idea of the horn from within. Stuff the horn as securely as you can, I used polyfill stuffing.

Start covering the thread down the horn in a spiral, securely enough to leave a good indent. 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.

Beginning with the inside, cover stitches around the edges of your felt, stitching the circle to the bottom of the horn, and tie it off. Aim to hide your knot inside, or a minimum image source of far from the edge.

Stitch the elastic to the bottom of the horn. Take care to stitch the flexible all the way 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 stitched to the horn, this way it will end up on top of the headband, instead of as an unpleasant swelling versus your child's head.

Your unicorn horn is total! Oh, wait ... * ehem * Anyway, once on the headband, I added a little hot glue under the edges of the horn to assist keep it from wobbling any.

Cut a range of flowers out of the coloured felt. I have actually no concept how well hot glue works on wool felt, however it works astonishingly on eco felt. For the large yellow flower, I simply cut a bunch of strips of felt, folded them in half, then tacked 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. Ensure to overlap the base of the horn a bit and cover the rubber band. You are the happy brand-new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

I had an extremely difficult time keeping her still enough time to take any pictures ...

Her rainbow unicorn tail is now complete, too, and I have a full blown unicorn galloping around the house all day. Find that tutorial here. By the way, it would be really easy to stick a couple ears in there amid the flowers. According to Kaia, nevertheless, she currently has 2 ears and didn't desire anymore. (Do not take a look at me ... she uses lots of other animal ears, my reasoning does seldom have much impact on her, however.).
