Guide to Make a Unicorn Horn Flower Crown

Due to the fact that who should have to decide between a flower crown and a unicorn horn? Kaia truly wished to use both for her Birthday, and this is exactly what I wound up with.

When she initially informed me she desired to be a unicorn for her Birthday celebration, I started poking around the Web, trying to figure something out. I was truly dissatisfied with exactly what I discovered. I didn't desire her to be overloaded by a huge, hot, large outfit for her indoor celebration. I desired something she might wear on her own when she wished to play. I didn't want a modeling clay horn held on with an "invisible" elastic band. These simply do not appear practical to me for a young kid. I wanted a horn that would go on quickly and comfortably, one that was lightweight, was not vulnerable, and would remain in location well on her head while she cantered around your house hugely, rearing and jumping. When you put a unicorn horn on a 4 year old, since you understand that is exactly what is going to occur. (Omygosh, she's practically four!) I think I actually achieved all of these standards I set myself, and I am actually delighted with how the entire thing came together, (therefore is she!).

When I made the horn, I was believing I would experiment a bit, begin figuring things out. Not the prettiest photos, but ideally they at least make the procedure simple to see.

You will need:.

Craft Felt in Various Colours.
Stuffing.
Sewing Thread and Needle.
Extra Strong Quilting Thread.
Small 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 truth that it is, certainly, sparkly, the sparkle felt is a fair bit stiffer. Cut out a slim triangle and fold it in half lengthwise, ideal sides together. Stitch up the open long side, marked with sharpy in the following photos. Leave the bottom open. (That triangle was supposed to be relatively balanced. The real thing was, I swear. Pretend that it is relatively balanced, all right? Thanks.).

Cut off excess material, and turn right-side-out. Using extra strong quilting thread, cut a long piece, (enough to cover your spirals,) and knot off completion. Make it a good, huge 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 within. (Not at the suggestion.) 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. Cut the bottom to even it out if necessary.

Start covering the thread down the horn in a spiral, tightly enough to leave a good indent. This will give your horn a great spiraled shape, and keep the thread from sliding and slipping around on the horn. (This was the part I was most not sure about. I stressed that the fabric would bunch, or that the thread would not be strong enough to pull securely, or that it would not remain in place. None of those worries emerged, it worked extremely well.) Tie your thread off within, near the bottom of the horn. Position your horn on another piece of matching felt, trace the bottom circle, and cut it out.

Beginning with the inside, cover stitches around the edges of your felt, sewing the circle to the bottom of the horn, and tie it off. Aim to hide your knot inside, or blog here at least far from the edge.

Stitch the flexible 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 lump against your kid's head.

Your unicorn horn is complete! Oh, wait ... * ehem * Anyhow, once 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, but it works remarkably on eco felt. For the big yellow flower, I merely cut a bunch 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 over at this website of the horn a bit and cover the flexible band. You are the happy brand-new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

I had a very tough time keeping her still long enough to take any images ...

Her rainbow unicorn tail is now complete, too, and I have a complete blown unicorn galloping around your house throughout the day. Find that tutorial here. By the method, it would be actually easy to stick a couple ears in there amidst the flowers. Inning accordance with Kaia, however, she currently has 2 ears and didn't desire anymore. description (Do not look at me ... she wears plenty of other animal ears, my reasoning does not often have much impact on her, nevertheless.).

Because you know that is exactly what is going to take place when you place a unicorn horn on a 4 year old. When I made the horn, I was thinking I would experiment a bit, begin figuring things out. 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 uneasy lump against your kid's head.
