Make this adorable Unicorn horn headband as a party favor for a Unicorn Party. My daughter loves to play pretend and her friends do too. The unicorn horns were a great addition to the party activities. The foam glitter sheets make the horns super sparkly and pretty durable. The children ran around and played games for two hours and they were perfect.

Step
1

Print pattern and cut shapes out. Trace patterns on to the back of the fabulous foam glitter sheets. Use scissors to cut out all the shapes. I used a raspberry colored sheet as the insert for the ears. You can make them different colors or use one color for all the ears on the unicorn horn headbands.

Once all the pieces are cut out of the fabulous foam sheet you will need to assemble the unicorn horns. Roll the main piece into a horn shape. Remove a strip of the paper off the back to expose the self-adhesive side of the foam. 

Step
3

Use the glue gun to seal the edges of the horn. The horns need a little extra glue to hold them together. The adhesive on the sheets work great when not being used as a wearable item.

Use scissors to cut slits in the side of the horn this will allow you to attach it to the headband with glue. Trim off the slits and add glue to inside of the headband and fold flap into the glue. Hold until dry and repeat for the other side.
