I made a whole farm of stick animals using found templates and coloring book pages, cropped and sized. is even easier because you have a base and you are creating a flat applique instead of a three-dimensional object. 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. Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks. Once the unicorn is stuffed and the dowel is in place, hand stitch it closed and glue the rod in with a hot glue gun.

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.

You can paint cheeks and eyes with a marker, or forego the former and make the latter out of buttons. Featuring neighing and clopping sounds to bring imaginative games to life, there's almost nothing your child can't become!

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. With a small amount of glue (especially along the back of the head), glue the two unicorn heads together along the outside edge. 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.

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. If your fabric has an obvious front and back, do not forget to flip the pattern when making the second half.

Once done, sandwich the mane between two more layers of paper and machine stitch through all the layers, about 1/2″ away from one side. Missed payments may affect your ability to use Clearpay in the future and your details may be passed onto a debt collection agency working on Clearpay's behalf. Roll a thin sausage of yarn and carefully needle-felt it at the top of the eye, giving it an opal shape. You take a little bit of wool and work it with a needle until all the fibres intertwine and form a three-dimensional object. 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!They also didn’t really care about finishing it once the mane was done, so it took a lot of persuasion on our part to keep the unicorn from going away without his horn, ears and eyes. Having made a couple of chocolate cakes already and not expecting moss to show up for the next couple of months, I put my hope in rainbows.
