How to Make a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

Due to the fact that who should have to decide in between a flower crown and a unicorn horn? Kaia really wished 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 easily, one that was lightweight, was not delicate, and would remain in place well on her head while she cantered around the house extremely, rearing and jumping. Due to the fact that you know that is what is going to occur when you position 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 anticipate to be delighted with the first thing I twiddled with, so I'm stuck without any images. I made a paper model in order to do this tutorial. Not the prettiest photos, however hopefully they at least make the procedure easy to see.

You will require:.

Craft Felt in Numerous Colours.

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

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

Begin covering the thread down the horn in a spiral, securely enough to leave an excellent indent. Connect 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 from the within, cover stitches around the edges of your felt, stitching the circle to the bottom of the horn, and tie it off. Attempt click over here to hide your knot inside, or at least away from the edge.

Sew the flexible 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 elastic together gets sewn to the horn, this method it will end up on top of the headband, rather of as an uneasy swelling versus your child's head.

Your unicorn horn is total! 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.

Hot glue the fabric leaves down either side of the headband, overlapping a little and alternating direction. Cut a variety of flowers from the coloured felt. (Pointer: Your partner might get somewhat irritable site if you attempt to do this in bed, stick to checking out a book.) I truthfully believe layering has the most significant impact on how nice they come out looking. I used hot glue to fix the layers together. I have actually no concept how well hot glue deals with wool felt, but it works incredibly on eco felt. I believe the heat in fact merges the layers together to a degree. For the large yellow flower, I simply cut a lot 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 conceal the elastic band. You are the proud new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

Her rainbow unicorn tail is now complete, too, and I have a full blown complete galloping around the house all day. According to Kaia, nevertheless, she already has two ears and didn't desire any more.
