Unicorn Ears & Horn Headband - Finished!

Hello crafters!

Yay!  After hours of work, these unicorn ears are finally finished!  I had actually finished these beautiful ears yesterday evening but just hadn't posted it yet since I've been crafting since I woke up this morning.

This was one of my favorite crafts to make!  It's super exciting to see the outcome since I had never made anything like this until now. 

So once I finished sewing the white felt together, I added a bit of stuffing inside.  I also had decided to add a small headband inside of it to give it the perfect shape.  Then, I lightly painted a little bit of glitter Puffy Paint on top of the golden thread I used.  After that, I used the black brush that I had used to brush out the faux fur for the ears to brush the white felt. Just did a few careful brushes to give it a fluffy fur look.

Now it's time to glue the ears & horn onto the headband!  It got a bit messy but was worth it in the end.  To glue the ears & horn, I used a bit of Tacky glue & confetti glitter Puffy Paint.  After adding the paint onto the headband and sticking the ears & horn to it, I held them in place for about 30 minutes, They were finally finished!

Really hope I can make more ears similar to this soon! Well, for now, I hope you like them! 

Unicorn Ears & Horn - Making The Horn & Headband

Hello crafters!

After staying up for most of the night, and taking a small break to sleep, I finally finished the unicorn horn!

So basically, I've been painting the horn for a few hours with a pretty paint color which I had made by mixing white, pink, light blue, gold metallic, and confetti glitter Puffy Paint.  After a few coats of paint, it started to look more and more like a unicorn horn!

Once the horn & ears were basically dry, I started realizing that the headband I was planning to use was too small to attach the ears & horn onto.  After that, I decided to try making my own headband!

At the moment I'm sewing white felt together with golden thread & I'm planning to stuff it with stuffing so it becomes close to thick as a headband.

Only a few hours left to finish!  Hope you like them so far!

Unicorn Ears & Horn - Making The Ears

Hello crafters!

Finally taking a break from working on these unicorn ears.  Took awhile, but luckily I'm basically finished with the ears!  The only thing left to finish is the glittery horn!

Making these ears took hours.  The hardest part would probably be making the fur.  Have to be honest, brushing out all of that fur is really tiring! 

Well, I originally was using yarn to make the faux fur, but I started wondering if I could use felt to make a similar-looking faux fur.  Both ways turned out to work well, so I made a bit of the faux fur out of yarn & the rest out of felt. 

I used scissors to cut off some of the thicker parts of yarn & felt so the of the fur would be perfectly fluffy!  The yarn I used was had pastel colors & then I used purple, white, and blue felt.  Once I made the fur, I mixed a variety of Puffy Paints to make a pinkish-purple paint.  After that, I used the paint to stick the fur onto the basic unicorn ears.  I tried to lightly add a few splashes of paint onto the ears to help all of the colors go together. 

After getting super messy with paint everywhere for the ears, I've just added one coat of glitter Puffy Paint onto the horn.  Planning to go back to work within a few minutes!

I hope you like these ears so far!  Make sure to check back soon for another update on these unicorn ears & horn!

Unicorn Ears & Horn - Finding The Perfect Brush

Hello crafters!

Super sorry for not posting most of the weekend!  I was planning to be posting several updates of the unicorn ears & horn that I'm working on, but had fallen asleep early Friday night & turned out to be a bit sick on Saturday!  Actually was trying to make these ears specifically for a challenge on Crafty Amino, but luckily I have until Monday night, and still might have enough time to finish them!

But no worries!  While I'm  trying to finish these ears tonight, I will still be posting updates on the progress of them during my breaks! So before I get started on them & messy, here's the progress so far!

Well, a few minutes after my last post a few nights ago, I started working on finding the perfect brush.  Wondering why I'm looking for a brush?  Well, recently I learned an easy way to make faux fur is to brush out the yarn.  After brushing for a while, the fuzzy yarn will start looking like a fluffy faux fur.

Anyways, after a long hunt (for about an hour) through tons of my doll brushes, I finally found the perfect one!  Or more like the few perfect brushes, since I actually found 3.   Just planning to see which one works best!

Will be posting another update in a little while!  Make sure to check back soon!

Unicorn Ears & Horn In Progress!

Hello crafters!

It's Friday, and of course, like always I'm always up to some new & unusual craft!

Today I'm making a unicorn inspired headset with unicorn ears & a unicorn horn.  Never have exactly made faux fur ears, but I'm ready to learn!

I just finished making the bases for the ears and horn.  I used light purple cardstock paper to make them.  For the ears, I just tried folding one side of the paper into a cone looking shape & did the same with the other side, I used tape & tried flattening them just a bit to make sure they stayed.  After the ears, I started working on the horn.  For the horn, I used the scrap paper from the ears & just folded the paper to make a longer & narrow cone shape.  I also used tape to keep it together.

I'm planning on attaching the ears to the headband in the picture below.  I'm thinking to make a fabric cover for the headband to make it a bit bigger & easier to attach the ears and horn onto.  Planning to use glitter for the unicorn horn.  Still deciding what to use to make it glittery.  Confetti Glitter Puffy Paint or glitter tape?  Let me know your opinion in the comments.

Well, I hope you like the bases! Can't wait to see how they will turn out!  Check back since I will be posting updates of these ears & showing other crafts that I'm working on throughout the night!

Time to get messy!
