Materials you’ll need:
- A plastic headband
- Elastic cord
- Foam sheets in different colors
- Scissors
- Glue gun
- Glitter
- Felt
- Artificial flowers
Step 1: Prepare the headband
Start by covering the plastic headband with the elastic cord. Apply a small amount of glue at the beginning of the headband and start wrapping the cord around it, making sure to pull it tight. Continue wrapping until the entire headband is covered. Secure the end with a dab of glue.
Step 2: Creating the unicorn horn
Take a foam sheet in the color of your choice and cut it into a long triangle shape. Roll the foam tightly from one corner to form the unicorn horn shape. Apply glue to secure it in place. Now, sprinkle some glitter all over the horn and set it aside to dry.
Step 3: Making the unicorn ears
Using the foam sheets, draw and cut out two ear shapes. These can be simple triangles with rounded edges. Cut smaller triangles out of a contrasting foam color to create the inner ear. Glue the inner ears onto the larger foam ear pieces. Attach the ears to the headband, positioning them on either side of the unicorn horn.
Step 4: Adding decorations
Now it’s time to add some extra sparkle and charm to your unicorn headband. Cut small shapes, such as stars or hearts, out of different colored foam sheets. Glue them onto the headband, around the ears and horn. You can also glue on some artificial flowers for an extra magical touch.
Step 5: Final touches
Once all the glue has dried, try on your unicorn headband and make any adjustments if needed. Trim any excess elastic cord and ensure the headband fits comfortably on your head. Your unicorn headband is now complete and ready to wear!
So, if you’re looking to add a whimsical touch to your outfit or costume, making a unicorn headband is a delightful DIY project. With just a few materials and some creativity, you’ll have a unique and enchanting accessory that’s sure to turn heads. Enjoy your newfound unicorn fashion!
