DIY Unicorn HeadbandMy best friend was having a unicorn themed birthday party, but could not find unicorn horn headbands anywhere! I went out to look for some for her and found they were all terrible plastic pieces of junk. I decided to make some for her. She loved them so much, she actually squealed. Success!

Total Time: 1 hour

Yield: 1 unicorn headband

Supplies:

  • 1 plain headband
  • felt or fleece in white and pink
  • fiber fill or cotton
  • gold cord
  • scissors
  • scratch paper
  • needle and thread or sewing machine
  • glue gun with glue

Steps:

  1. I used a 35 cent headband that had flowers on it so I removed the flowers in order to have a plain plastic headband. Start by cutting your white felt or fleece into 1 inch wide strips. I used 1 inch wide by 20 inches in length. Dab some hot glue on the inside bottom of the headband leaving some overhang. Start wrapping the material around the headband, overlapping the layers, securing with hot glue here and there along the way. When the headband is completely wrapped, fold the ends up to the inside edges and secure with hot glue.
  2. DIY Unicorn Headband - begin glueing felt to inside of headband

  3. Cut a piece of your scrap paper so it is 5 inches by 5 inches. Cut one end so it is rounded, then cut the sides off to create a cone, but with a flat top, not a point, as shown in this image. This will be the pattern for your horn.

  5. Place the pattern over your white felt and cut out the horn. Beginning at one side, roll the material toward the opposite side to form a horn shape, then sew it shut. You will have a hollow horn.

  9. At the top of the horn, stitch on some gold cord. Start wrapping the horn with the cord all the way down in a spiral motion. Every now and then, secure the cord on the seam with a stitch to keep it in place. I pulled the cord rather tight to make the horn look pillowy!
  10. DIY Unicorn Headband - beginning at point stitch on some gold thread and start wrapping down to larger end
     
    DIY Unicorn Headband - slip stitch the thread to the seam to hold in place
     
  11. Prop your horn up onto a piece of white felt and trace a circle to cut out. Sew this circle to the bottom of your horn to close it up.
  12. DIY Unicorn Headband - trace around the horn to create a felt circle, sew to bottom of horn
     
  13. Start sewing the horn onto the headband with needle and thread through both sides of the base. I went through many times to make sure it stayed put. Cut out a piece of felt in an oval shape and hot glue it to the area where the thread is exposed to keep it hidden and safe from unraveling against your head.

  15. Draw a 2 1/2 inch tall ear shape onto a piece of paper. Fold the paper in half at the base of the ear, leaving about 1/4-inch between the bottom of the ear drawing and the fold. Cut out the ear shape and unfold. Trace this pattern twice onto some white felt. Cut them out to make two ears.
