I utilized sparkly white craft felt for her horn. Aside from the truth that it is, obviously, sparkly, the shimmer felt is quite a bit stiffer. Leave the bottom open.

Make it a great, big knot, you don't want it to pull through the felt as soon as 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 covering the thread down the horn in a spiral, securely enough to leave an excellent indent. Connect 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.

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 help 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 surprisingly on eco felt. For the big yellow flower, I simply 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. Ensure to overlap the base of the horn a bit and cover up the flexible band. You are the this response happy new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!
