Steps to Create a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

Since who should need to decide between a flower crown and a unicorn horn? Kaia truly desired to wear 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 "undetectable" flexible band. I desired a horn that would go on quickly and comfortably, one that was lightweight, was not vulnerable, and would stay in place well on her head while she cantered around the house hugely, rearing and leaping. Because you know that is 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, start figuring things out. Not the prettiest photos, however ideally they at least make the procedure simple to see.

You will require:.

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

I used 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 a great, huge knot, you do not 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. Stuff the horn as securely as you can, I utilized polyfill stuffing.

Start covering the thread down the horn in a spiral, firmly enough to leave an excellent 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 inside, wrap stitches around the edges of your felt, stitching the circle to the bottom of the horn, and tie this site it off. Aim to hide your knot inside, or a minimum of far 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 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 unpleasant swelling against your kid's next head.

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

Hot glue the fabric leaves down either side of the headband, overlapping a little and alternating instructions. Cut a variety of flowers from the coloured felt. (Tip: Your husband may get somewhat irritable if you attempt to do this in bed, stick to checking out a book.) I truthfully think layering has the most significant effect on how nice they come out looking. I utilized hot glue to repair the layers together. I've no concept how well hot glue deals with wool felt, but it works surprisingly on eco felt. I believe the heat in fact fuses the layers together to a level. For the large yellow flower, I merely cut a bunch of strips of felt, folded them in half, then added them entirely 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 conceal the elastic band. You are the proud brand-new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

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

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

Because you know that is exactly what is going to take place when you position a unicorn horn on a 4 year old.

Make sure that the joint holding the elastic together gets sewn to the horn, this method it will end up on top of the headband, rather of as an uncomfortable lump versus your kid's head.

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