The traditional norm of unicorn horn and tail
Unicorns are among a few mythological creatures that are valued in almost all traditions. They are known to possess cloven hooves, a goat’s beard as well as a lion’s tail. They have only a single horn in the middle of their head, which is described as long and straight with a spiral groove running up it. Unicorn horns are treasured for their high value in detecting poison and turning a poisoned drink into a harmless one.

DIY unicorn horn and tail
Do you want to make unicorn accessories of your own personality? Don’t you want to dress up like others? Then, try designing your own unicorn horn and tail. While the unicorn tail is rather easy to make yourself, to make a horn is a little bit more complicated process.
Unicorn tail
You can create a colorful tail of yourself with just a few items. Prepare crepe paper streamers, curling ribbons, gold fringe curtains, a pair of scissors, felt sheets, needle, thread, and a glue gun.
Depending on your height, cut streamers in the desired length so that the tail won’t touch the ground when you move around. With each color, let’s cut two corresponding streamers. Then, stack streamers in alternating colors and sew stack together. After that, cut strips into thirds and don’t forget to leave a certain part on the top uncut to ensure the layers stay together.
Go on to cut small pieces from the gold fringe curtain and sew them along with curling ribbons to the stack of paper streamers. Take a piece of felt and glue it to the stack of crepe paper, gold fringe, and ribbons. Next, fold the felt over and apply glue to this side. Make sure to leave the top of the fold open in order to run a ribbon through.
Now you have got your special unicorn tail. Tie it around your waist or attach to clothes with a safety pin. Let’s show it off to your pals!
Unicorn horn
There are a number of ways to make a unicorn horn. Consider the availability of materials and choose the most convenient way for you.
Handcraft a unicorn horn from paper
To make a unicorn horn, the very first thing you need is thick and heavy-weight paper. In this sense, cardstock and thick scrapbooking paper are the highly recommended materials. Otherwise, decorative paper is usable in case you want to make your horn unique.
Let’s start with drawing a big triangle with a round bottom on the paper. Then, cut along the triangle’s outline and cut the tip off its triangle top so that a flat top is created.
After that, roll the paper into the shape of a cone by rolling on a side to the other side of the triangle. Remember to tape the cone’s outer edge as well as put some tape on the paper’s edge in the inside cone for enhanced stability. To get a more realistic look of a horn, try to maintain the base of the cone at the size of a milk jug’s top.
Next, attach a piece of elastic or a ribbon to the horn’s base with a hot glue gun. Start gluing one side of the ribbon to the inner side of the horn. Do the same with the other side.
Want to give an impressive finishing touch to your horn? The decoration is up to you. Just free your imagination and paint everything you like. You can use ribbons, glitter, markers, crayons or stickers to be creative at will.
Make a unicorn horn from foam sheet
Foam sheets are another material you can consider when making a horn. Take a piece of 9 inches 12-inch foam sheet that is large enough to make a unicorn headband. For the best product, go for self-adhesive foam sheets. They are accessible from online shops or your local craft store.
First, draw a diagonal line on the sheet’s backside from the bottom left corner to the top right one. Use a ruler to draw for enhanced preciseness. Then, cut along the drawn line with a pair of scissors. What you’ve got now is a shape that resembles a triangle with one flat corner.
After that, roll the foam into a cone starting from the bottom left towards the bottom right corner. Keep on rolling until the top corner is rolled around the cone.
Next, use glue to secure the top corner to the cone and trim its bottom so that the cone can stand still on a flat surface. Make snips up about a quarter of an inch from the cone’s bottom. To create fringe, snip ever a half of an inch around its bottom. Also cut a circle of more than ½ inch diameter out of the leftover foam.
Afterward, glue the foam circle to the bottom of your favorite headband’s center and put the cone directly above the foam circle. Use a hot glue gun to attach each piece of fringe onto the foam circle. Now, your unicorn horn headband is almost finished. Add some embellishments to make it more colorful.
