Guide to Make a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

Due to the fact that 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 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 lightweight, was not fragile, and would remain in place well on her head while she cantered around the home hugely, rearing and jumping. Because you understand that is what is going to happen 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 pleased with the first thing I twiddled with, so I'm stuck with no photos. I made a paper model in order to do this tutorial. Not the most beautiful photos, but hopefully they a minimum of make the procedure easy to see.

You will need:.

I used sparkly white craft understandinged of her horn. Aside from that it is, clearly, sparkly, the sparkle felt is quite a bit stiffer. Eliminate a skinny triangle and fold it in half lengthwise, ideal sides together. Finish the open long side, marked with sharpy in the following pictures. Leave the bottom open. (That triangle was expected to be fairly symmetrical. The genuine thing was, I swear. Pretend that it is fairly symmetrical, all right? Thanks.).

Make it an excellent, big knot, you do not desire it to pull through the felt when there is tension on it. Run the thread out near the pointer of the horn from inside. Stuff 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. 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.

Beginning with 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 far from the edge.

Sew the elastic to the bottom of the horn. Take care to sew 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 joint holding the elastic together gets stitched to the horn, this way it will end up on top of the headband, rather of as an unpleasant swelling against your kid's head.

Your unicorn horn is total! Oh, wait ... * ehem * Anyway, as soon as on the headband, I added 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 instructions. Cut a range of flowers out of the coloured felt. (Tip: Your partner might get slightly irritable if you try to do this in bed, adhere to reading a book.) I truthfully believe layering has the most significant impact 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 incredibly on eco felt. I think the heat in fact fuses the layers together to an extent. For the you can find out more big yellow flower, I merely cut a bunch of strips of felt, folded them in half, then tacked 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. Make certain to overlap the base of the horn a bit and cover the flexible band. You are the happy new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!
