Steps to Create a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

Because who should need to decide in between a flower crown and a unicorn horn? Kaia really wished 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 "unnoticeable" flexible band. I wanted a horn that would go on easily and conveniently, one that was light-weight, was not fragile, and would stay in location well on her head while she cantered around the house extremely, rearing and leaping. Because you understand that is exactly what is going to happen when you place 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 without any pictures. I made a paper model in order to do this tutorial. Not the most beautiful images, however ideally they at least make the procedure easy to see.

You will need:.

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

I utilized sparkly white craft understandinged of her horn. Aside from the fact that it is, obviously, sparkly, the sparkle felt is rather a bit stiffer. Eliminate a slim triangle and fold it in half lengthwise, ideal sides together. Finish the open long side, marked with sharpy in the following images. Leave the bottom open. (That triangle was supposed to be relatively symmetrical. The genuine thing was, I swear. Pretend that it is fairly balanced, okay? Thanks.).

Cut off excess material, and turn right-side-out. Utilizing extra strong quilting thread, cut a long piece, (enough to wrap your spirals,) and knot off the end. Make it a good, big knot, you don't want it to pull through the felt once there is tension on it. Run the thread out near the tip of the horn from inside. (Not at the suggestion.) Pull everything the way through, so that knot is the only part left inside. Things the horn as firmly as you can, I utilized polyfill stuffing. Cut the bottom to even it out if required.

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. Put your horn on another piece of matching felt, trace the bottom circle, and cut it out.

Beginning from the within, wrap stitches around the edges of your felt, stitching the circle to the bottom of the horn, and tie it off. Attempt to hide 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, rather of as an uncomfortable 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.

Cut a variety of flowers out of the coloured felt. I have actually no see here now concept how well hot glue works on wool felt, but it works surprisingly on eco felt. For the large yellow flower, I just cut a bunch of strips of felt, folded them in half, then tacked 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. Ensure to overlap the base of the horn a bit and conceal the elastic band. You are the happy new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

I had an extremely difficult time keeping her still that site long enough to take any images ...

Her rainbow unicorn tail is now complete, too, and I have actually a complete blown unicorn galloping around your house throughout the day. Find that tutorial here. By the way, it would be really simple to stick a couple ears in there in the middle of the flowers. According to Kaia, nevertheless, she already has two ears and didn't desire any more. (Do not take a look at me ... she wears lots of other animal ears, my logic does not frequently have much result on her, however.).

Because you know that is exactly what is going to happen when you put 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 way it 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 flexible band. You are the happy new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!
