Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to make a Glinda the Good Witch crown: 1. Gather the materials needed for the crown, including a thick wire or a plastic headband, floral wire, glittery ribbon, faux pearls or gemstones, hot glue gun, and scissors. 2. Start by measuring the wire or headband around your head to ensure a proper fit. If using wire, shape it into a circular crown shape or use a pre-made headband. 3.

I’ll be sharing my entire DIY Unicorn costume in another post, but below, I’m showing how I made the best part – the light-up horn.

Here’s a short video of how it looks in the dark:

3. Secure the ends of the wire or headband together using floral wire, wrapping it tightly around to prevent any movement. 4.

DIY Lighted Unicorn Horn Headband Tutorial

• 3 Felt Sheets (1 stiff, 1 soft, 1 “pretty”)
• Multi-colored LED Lights (I used 2 strands)
• Glue Gun (or fabric glue)
• Thread / Needle
• Ribbon
• Decorative Trim (I used faux fur)
• Scissors

I started by rolling this sheet of CPE Stiffened EasyFelt into a cone shape, and cutting off the excess pieces.

Then, I hooked the end of one of the LED light stings to the top of the horn. I rolled the cone shape around the lights, and stuffed the excess light wires into the horn.

Next, I traced the round opening on the bottom onto some of the excess felt, and cut out a piece to close off the bottom (with wings to tuck in and glue to the sides of the cone’s interior).

I glued the battery packs side by side to the bottom piece, then tucked everything into the cone and glued into place, making sure the ON/OFF switches were still accessible.

Next, I covered the cone shape with 2 more pieces of felt – 1 that was really soft and cushy, and one that was a little stiffer with pretty sparkles.

It’s important to make the inside piece slightly smaller than the outside piece so that the bottom/inside one won’t be exposed once you roll it around the cone (see the arrow below – that’s what you don’t want – I didn’t cut it down enough).

Next, use a needle and some strong thread to wrap very tightly around the horn. You want to create indentations with the thread.

I used the needle to secure the thread to the top, wrapped it tightly around the cone, then used the needle again to secure it at the bottom.

The strongest thread I had on-hand was gray, but if you have white, you may want to use that so it’s less visible.

Next, use your glue gun (or a fabric glue) to carefully cover thread with a pretty ribbon (pulling tightly as you go).

Next, you’ll attach your horn to either a hair clip or headband.

I added some gold glitter paper to this kitty cat ears headband from Charlotte Russe (which I already had on hand). Then paired it with a 2nd headband that has white fluffy ears.

I attached the pair of headbands together using a piece of leftover felt, then glued the horn to the felt on the top of the headbands.

Once the horn has been glued to a headband or hair clip, you can dress up the bottom with some trim. I used some faux fur from an old Santa hat.

Here is the completed headband with ears and the light-up horn:

Take your chosen glittery ribbon and wrap it around the wire or headband, starting at one end and wrapping it tightly around until you reach the other end. Secure the ends of the ribbon with hot glue. 5. Using hot glue, attach the faux pearls or gemstones along the front of the crown. You can create a pattern or randomly place them as desired. 6. Once the glue has dried and the pearls or gemstones are secured, trim any excess ribbon or wire with scissors to have a clean and polished look. 7. Optional: If you want to add extra sparkle to the crown, you can also add some glitter or rhinestones using hot glue. 8. Once the entire crown is complete and all the glue has dried, try it on to make sure it fits comfortably and adjust if necessary. 9. Your Glinda the Good Witch crown is now ready to wear! Pair it with a matching costume or dress and embrace your inner magical fairy. Remember, making a Glinda the Good Witch crown can be a creative process, so feel free to personalize it by incorporating different colors, ribbons, or additional embellishments to suit your style and vision. Enjoy the process of creating your own unique crown fit for a Good Witch!.
