Steps to Create a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

Because who should have to decide in between a flower crown and a unicorn horn? Kaia truly wished to wear both for her Birthday, and this is what I ended up with.

I didn't want a modeling clay horn held on with an "invisible" elastic band. I wanted a horn that would go on easily and comfortably, one that was lightweight, was not fragile, and would stay in place well on her head while she cantered around the house hugely, rearing and leaping. Since 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. I didn't anticipate to be delighted with the very first thing I twiddled with, so I'm stuck with no images. I made a paper design in order to do this tutorial. Not the most beautiful images, however ideally they a minimum of make the procedure simple to see.

You will require:.

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

I utilized sparkly white craft understandinged of her horn. Aside from the reality that it is, certainly, sparkly, the sparkle felt is a fair bit stiffer. Cut out a skinny triangle and fold it in half lengthwise, right sides together. Finish the open long side, marked with sharpy in the following pictures. Leave the bottom open. (That triangle was supposed to be relatively balanced. The genuine thing was, I swear. Pretend that it is fairly symmetrical, okay? Thanks.).

Cut off excess fabric, and turn right-side-out. Using additional strong quilting thread, cut a long piece, (enough to wrap your spirals,) and knot off completion. Make it an excellent, big knot, you don't desire it to pull through the felt as soon as there is stress on it. Run the thread out near the idea of the horn from inside. (Not at the tip.) Pull it all the method through, so that knot is the only part left within. Stuff the horn as tightly as you can, I utilized polyfill stuffing. If needed, trim the bottom to even it out.

Begin wrapping the thread down the horn in a spiral, securely enough to leave a good 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 cut it out.

Starting from navigate to this guy the within, wrap stitches around the edges of your felt, stitching the circle to the bottom of the horn, and tie it off. Aim to hide your knot inside, or a minimum of you can try here far from the edge.

I attached it to a good, large, cloth-covered headband that we found at a dollar shop. To do so, determine a piece of elastic around the center of the headband to get your length, then make it a bit smaller sized so that it will stretch comfortably into place. Stitch the elastic ends together to form a loop. Sew the elastic to the bottom of the horn. Make sure to sew the flexible 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 sewn to the horn, this way it will end up on top of the headband, rather of as an uneasy swelling against your child's head.

Your unicorn horn is total! Oh, wait ... * ehem * Anyhow, when on the headband, I added a little hot glue under the edges of the horn to assist keep it from wobbling any.

Cut a range of flowers out of the coloured felt. I've no idea how well hot glue works on wool felt, however it works exceptionally on eco felt. 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 sure to overlap the base of the horn a bit and conceal the flexible band. You are the proud new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

I had a really tough time keeping her still long enough to take any photos ...

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

Because you understand that is exactly what is going to happen when you position a unicorn horn on a 4 year old. When I made the horn, I was believing I would experiment a bit, start figuring things out. Make sure that the joint holding the flexible together gets sewn to the horn, this method it home will end up on top of the headband, rather of as an uncomfortable swelling versus your child's head.

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