optional) dyed wool rovings (absolutely love this package: 36 small bags of wool, each a different colour, work just great for adding just a few details to felt projects! You can paint cheeks and eyes with a marker, or forego the former and make the latter out of buttons. Faye thought that the horn was great for being tickled with, and Anselm used it for helping him check what was hiding on the top of the shelves. Sew them together, leaving a small opening at the bottom to turn the unicorn right side out and stuff later.

Since Jeffrey makes a living by building metal helmets to fit custom heads, he’s better than me at figuring out patterns, so we ended up working on it together. Pin the halves together inside-out, with the mane sandwiched between and with the long part pointing inward. I made a whole farm of stick animals using found templates and coloring book pages, cropped and sized. It’s also worth noting that approximately halfway through the project, Anselm confided to me that he wants to have this unicorn for himself, and Faye can have his dinosaur.We used polyfill to give the head its general shape, then added small pieces to make sure that it’s well packed in the cheek and forehead areas. I can’t say I regret it most days, you know, not having to pick them off the floor all day long (I pick up wooden blocks and LEGO instead). You take a little bit of wool and work it with a needle until all the fibres intertwine and form a three-dimensional object.

is even easier because you have a base and you are creating a flat applique instead of a three-dimensional object. The magical beast was put to good use, and he worked great for bringing some colour into our crafting and playing. If your fabric has an obvious front and back, do not forget to flip the pattern when making the second half. They kept stealing the unfinished unicorn, so his head fell off the stick at least half a dozen of times before it got glued to it.This fun craft has the cutest printable unicorn features that could be used for many different crafts! I’d say that one moment I was watching the kids play, and the next moment I had an idea for a rainbow-maned unicorn. Roll a thin sausage of yarn and carefully needle-felt it at the top of the eye, giving it an opal shape. Cut the horn pattern out of grey felt, then sew it into a cone and turn it right side out, Stuff with a bit of wool or polyester stuffing.

Featuring neighing and clopping sounds to bring imaginative games to life, there's almost nothing your child can't become!I was remembering cleaning the toy box the other day and finding the dinosaur hobby horse that we made for Anselm. But when there is a prospect for a new stuffed toy – or at least a half stuffed toy since a hobby horse also has a wooden part – I do enjoy considering the addition carefully. I did it in the beginning, but I actually found it easier to felt onto after it was stuffed, so I recommend doing it at this point. With a small amount of glue (especially along the back of the head), glue the two unicorn heads together along the outside edge.
