Guide to Make a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

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

I didn't want a modeling clay horn held on with an "unnoticeable" elastic band. I desired a horn that would go on easily and conveniently, one that was lightweight, was not fragile, and would remain in location well on her head while she cantered around the home extremely, rearing and jumping. 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 thinking I would experiment a bit, start figuring things out. I didn't anticipate to be happy with the first thing I twiddled with, so I'm stuck without any pictures.

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

Make it a good, huge knot, you do not want it to pull through the felt once there is stress 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.

Start wrapping the thread down the horn in a spiral, securely enough to leave a great indent. Tie your thread off within, near the bottom of the horn. Put 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. Aim to conceal your knot inside, or a minimum of away from the edge.

Sew the elastic to the bottom of the horn. Take care to stitch 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 method it will end up on top of the headband, instead of as an uneasy swelling against your kid's head.

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

Hot glue the material leaves down either side of the headband, overlapping a little and alternating instructions. Cut a variety of flowers from the coloured felt. (Tip: Your other half may get somewhat irritable if you try to websites do this in bed, stick to checking out a book.) I truthfully think layering has the greatest effect on how great they come out looking. I used hot glue to repair the layers together. I've no concept how well hot glue deals with wool felt, but it works astonishingly on eco felt. I believe the heat in fact fuses the layers together to a degree. For the big 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 this link 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 an extremely hard time keeping her still long enough to take any images ...

Her rainbow unicorn tail is now complete, total, see and I have a full blown unicorn galloping around the house all home. According to Kaia, however, she already has 2 ears and didn't desire any more.
