We wanted to tie in some black and mint green flowers as well to coordinate with our party colors so we trimmed floral shapes out of black felt and mint colored treat bags. Mix these custom flowers in to the floral crown using hot glue.

Trace and cut an ear shape from the purple felt to create the outer unicorn ear, then using an orange flower petal from a leis, hot glue it to the center of the purple felt ear. Adhere the ears so that they are intermixed within the floral crown and allow to dry.
