Guide to Make a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

Because who should need to choose between a flower crown and a unicorn horn? Kaia really wished to use 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 "undetectable" flexible band. I wanted a horn that would go on easily and easily, one that was light-weight, was not fragile, and would remain in location well on her head while she cantered around the house hugely, rearing and jumping. Since you know that is exactly what is going to occur 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 anticipate to be happy with the very first thing I twiddled with, so I'm stuck with no photos. I made a paper design in order to do this tutorial. Not the prettiest images, but hopefully they a minimum of make the procedure easy to see.

You will require:.

Craft Felt in Different Colours.
Stuffing.
Sewing Thread and Needle.
Bonus Strong Quilting Thread.
Little Length of Elastic.
Headband.
Hot glue.

I utilized sparkly white craft felt for her horn. Aside from the fact that it is, certainly, sparkly, the shimmer felt is a fair bit stiffer. Cut out a slim triangle and fold it in half lengthwise, best sides together. Sew up the open long side, marked with sharpy in the following images. Leave the bottom open. (That triangle was supposed to be relatively balanced. The real thing was, I swear. Pretend that it is fairly symmetrical, all right? Thanks.).

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

Begin covering the thread down the horn in a spiral, tightly enough to leave an excellent indent. Tie your thread off within, near the bottom of the horn. Place your horn on another piece of matching felt, trace the bottom circle, and cut it out.

Beginning with the within, wrap stitches around the edges of your felt, sewing the circle to the bottom of the horn, and connect it off. Try to conceal your knot inside, or at least far 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 elastic together gets stitched to the horn, this method it will end try this website up on top of the headband, instead of as an unpleasant swelling versus your child's head.

Your unicorn horn is complete! Oh, wait ... * ehem * Anyway, when on the headband, I included a little hot glue under the edges of the horn to help 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 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 sure to overlap the base of the horn a bit and cover up the rubber band. You are the proud new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

I had a very hard time keeping her still long enough 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, however, she already has 2 ears and didn't desire anymore. (Do not look at me ... she uses a lot of other animal ears, my reasoning does seldom have much impact on her, nevertheless.).

Due to the fact that you understand 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. Make sure that the joint holding the flexible together gets sewn to the horn, this way it will end up on top of the headband, rather of as an uneasy swelling versus your kid's head.

Make sure to overlap the base of the horn a bit and cover up the flexible band. You are the happy brand-new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!
