Turning a Party Hat into a Horn

Get a party hat. You need a party hat that is made from lightweight cardboard to make a unicorn horn. You can find them at your local party store and some grocery stores.

Undo the party hat. Find out where the hat is connected, and undo it so you can roll it out flat. If the party hat is taped, remove the tape or gently cut the tape to undo it. If the hat is glued together, carefully use scissors to separate it. Then, unroll the party hat out flat. Keep the elastic attached to the hat

Roll the hat tighter. To make the horn, you need to roll the hat up again, but roll it tighter than it was before. Start with one side of the party hat, and roll it towards the other side creating a tighter roll. Keep rolling until you have a nice tight cone shape.

Tape the hat together. Use tape to secure the hat into the horn shape. Use a hot glue gun, or put several pieces of tape on the outer edge of the party hat to secure it to the hat.

Wear your new unicorn horn. Put the base of the horn on top of your forehead and pull the elastic over the back of your head to wear your new unicorn horn.

Making a Foam Horn Headband

Get a piece of 9”x12” foam sheet. You need large foam sheets to make a foam unicorn headband. You can get them from your local craft store or buy them online. Self-adhesive foam sheets work well for this project.

Draw a diagonal line on the foam. On the back side of the foam sheet, use a ruler to draw a diagonal line from the bottom left corner up to one inch inside the top right corner.

Cut along the line. Use scissors to cut along the line you’ve just drawn. You will end up with a shape that looks like a triangle with one corner that’s flat.

Roll the foam into a cone. Start with the bottom left corner of the foam and roll it towards the bottom right corner to form the cone. Continue rolling until the top corner is completely rolled around the cone.

Glue the foam. Use hot glue to glue the top corner down onto the cone to secure the cone in place. You can also put some glue on the inside to hold the bottom of the cone in place.

Trim the bottom of the cone. Use scissors to trim the bottom of the cone so that it is even and can stand up flat on a table.

Cut fringe into the bottom of the cone. Use scissors to make snips up ¼ inch from the bottom of the cone. Snip every ½ inch around the bottom of the cone to create fringe.

Cut a circle from the leftover foam. Use the leftover foam you have to cut a circle that is ½ inch larger in diameter than the bottom of the cone.

Glue the foam to the headband. Get a plastic headband to glue your horn to. Use a hot glue gun to glue the foam circle to the bottom of the center of the headband. Then, put the cone on the top of the headband directly above the foam circle. Glue the cone onto the circle by gluing each piece of fringe onto the foam circle.

Add embellishments. Make your unicorn horn headband unique by adding embellishments onto the horn. Use your imagination and make it yours. Add jewels to the horn and headband. Glue ribbons to flow down from the top of the horn. Use glitter glue to add designs to the horn.
