How to Make a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

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

When she initially informed me she wished to be a unicorn for her Birthday celebration, I started poking around the Web, attempting to figure something out. I was really disappointed with exactly what I found. I didn't want her to be overloaded by a huge, hot, bulky outfit for her indoor celebration. When she desired to play, I wanted something she might wear on her own. I didn't want a modeling clay horn hung on with an "unnoticeable" elastic band. These simply don't seem useful to me for a kid. I wanted a horn that would go on easily and easily, one that was lightweight, was not delicate, and would stay in location well on her head while she cantered around your house wildly, rearing and jumping. Due to the fact that you understand that is what is going to occur when you put a unicorn horn on a 4 years of age. (Omygosh, she's almost four!) I believe I really attained all these standards I set myself, and I am truly delighted with how the entire thing came together, (therefore is she!).

When I made the horn, I was believing I would experiment a bit, begin figuring things out. Not the most beautiful images, but hopefully they at least make the process simple to see.

You will require:.

Craft Felt in Numerous Colours.
Packing.
Sewing Thread and Needle.
Extra Strong Quilting Thread.
Small Length of Elastic.
Headband.
Hot glue.
Scissors.
Plastic Gems.
Fabric Leaves (Or Make Felt Leaves).

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

Make it a good, big knot, you don't want it to pull through the felt when there is tension on it. Run the thread out near the suggestion of the horn from inside. Things the horn as firmly as you can, I used polyfill stuffing.

Start covering the thread down the horn in a spiral, securely enough to leave a great indent. Connect your thread off inside, near the bottom of the horn. Put your horn on another piece of matching felt, trace the bottom circle, and Check This Out cut it out.

Beginning from the within, wrap stitches around the edges of your felt, sewing the circle to the bottom of the horn, and tie it off. Aim to hide your knot inside, or at least away from the edge.

I attached it to a nice, wide, cloth-covered headband that we found at a dollar store. To do so, measure a piece of flexible around the center of the headband to get your length, then make it a bit smaller so that it will extend comfortably into location. Stitch the elastic ends together to form a loop. Stitch the elastic to the bottom of the horn. Take care to stitch the flexible all the method to the edges of the horn, or the base will bring up at the front and back. Make sure that the joint holding the flexible together gets stitched to the horn, this method it will end up on top of the headband, rather of as an unpleasant swelling versus your kid's head.

Your unicorn horn is total! Like magic, the visit the site paper horn unexpectedly transforms into a real one! Oh, wait ... * ehem * Anyway, as soon as 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 fixed using a wider elastic band than exactly what I took place to have on hand, however.

Cut a range of flowers out of the coloured felt. I have actually no concept how well hot glue works on wool felt, but it works incredibly on eco felt. For the large yellow flower, I merely 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. Make certain to overlap the base of the horn a bit and conceal the elastic band. You are the happy brand-new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

I had a very difficult time keeping her still enough time to take any photos ...

Her rainbow unicorn tail is now total, too, and I have a full blown unicorn galloping around your home all the time. Find that tutorial here. By the way, it would be really simple to stick a couple ears in there amid the flowers. Inning accordance with Kaia, nevertheless, she already has 2 ears and didn't desire any more. (Don't take a look at me ... she wears a lot of other animal ears, my reasoning does rarely have much effect on her, nevertheless.).

Because you understand that is exactly what is going to occur when you place 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. Make sure that the joint holding the flexible together gets sewn to the horn, this method it will end up on top of the headband, instead of as an uneasy swelling against your kid's head.
