Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Cut the glitter foam or paper into the large triangle with the top cut flat. For the cone I created, the base is 7 inches, the sides are 7.5 inches and the top is 1 inch. Also cut the flowers off of the stems. Next cut triangles out of the white (base is 2 inches and sides are both 3 inches) and pink (base is 1 inch and side are both 1.5 inches) construction paper and glue the pink ones onto the white ones. We used school glue for the unicorn ears.
Step 2. Next gently wrap the glitter triangle to form your unicorn horn and seal it with glue. We used hot glue for this process. Cut the base to even out the side if needed.
Step 3. Then place the headband inside the horn and seal with hot glue.
Step 4. Next, glue the ears next to your horn and onto the headband.
Step 5. Then with the hot glue gun, glue the flowers on the front of the headband at the base of the horn and the ears to cover your seams.
Step 6. Now you know how to make your own unicorn headband kit for the perfect hair accessories!
