DIY Unicorn Hoodie

Materials:

White smooth, stretchy fabric (spandex, nylon blends)
Acrylic paints
Permanent seam tape
Stuffing
Rainbow (or tie-dyed) string/cord
White felt
White stiff felt
Pink felt
Purple fur
Hoodie
Quick dry fabric glue
Hot glue

Instructions:

1. From the white stretchy fabric, cut out a cone shape a little larger than you want the finished horn to be. Tape the edges of the fabric onto your surface and paint the the fabric with diagonal stripes. You may want to do 2 coats to ensure the paint goes on evenly. Wait until dry.
2. Add a strip of seam tape along the edge of the horn. Peel of the backing and add the rainbow string where the red and orange paint colors meet. Fold the horn onto the tape.
3. Turn the horn right side out. Use a pin or tweezers to pull out the tip of the horn.
4. Stuff the horn generously with stuffing. Cut out a circle from the stiff white felt the size of the horn base. Glue the circle around the edges of the horn.
5. Cut out four ears (two per side) from the white felt. Cut out 2 1/2 inch shorter ears from the white stiff felt. Cut out inner ears from the pink felt. Glue the ear pieces together leaving 1/2 inch a the base glue-free.
6. Cut out two long strips of purple fur. Make a half circle in the middle of the strips to go around the horn.
7. Glue the horn to the center of the hoodie. Cut out a square piece of stiff felt with a circle in the middle as a horn stabilizer. Glue it around the horn. Part the base of the ear felt pieces, add glue, and stick them to the hoodie.
8. Glue the purple fur strips to the hoodie. Allow 1/4 inch of fur to wrap around the hood edge.
