I made this photo tutorial so you can see how to sew my <\/span>Keepsake Unicorn Sewing Pattern.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Scroll down for step-by-step photos!\u00a0~> <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First choose some fabric (or preloved clothes!<\/span><\/h1>\n

Kelsey is designed to be a memory toy sewn from pre-loved clothing BUT you can see )her with any fabrics from quilting cottons to fleece!<\/span><\/span>\"A<\/p>\n

A Keepsake Unicorn will look great in any colour… look how sweet this little fellow is in blues…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

and baby clothes…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And purple and pinks too…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

*** PLEASE NOTE – this in ONLY a PHOTO TUTORIAL ***<\/strong><\/span>
\nThe\u00a0FULL PATTERN IS NOT included here.
\nIt is NOT A FREE PATTERN.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have made this photo tutorial so people who have purchased the pattern can SEE how to sew a keepsake unicorn (I wanted to explain this so you are not disappointed if you have found this page via a search engine and not from the link in my Kelsey Keepsake Unicorn sewing pattern!)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0*The Keepsake Unicorn Pattern<\/strong> is\u00a0 NOW available to buy, from the Funky Friends Factory website as an Instant Download e-Pattern.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Prepare the fabric pieces:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 1a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Trace all the PIECES<\/strong><\/span>, including all the \u2018reversed pieces\u2019, onto the smooth (NON-STICKY) side of the iron-on interfacing. Cut out the pieces adding about 3mm (\u215b inch) around them. Iron the interfacing pieces onto the fabric of the clothing items, with the STICKY (GLUE) side facing the BACK of the fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

STEP 1b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Cut the PIECES<\/strong><\/span> out on the traced lines.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TIP:\u00a0<\/strong>I use about 8 – 10 items of baby clothes for my Keepsake Unicorns. Mix and match your fabrics to make your keepsake unique. If you are making a ‘patchwork toy’ (with many different fabrics) – take a photo of the pieces<\/strong> all cut out. It is easy to forget where you wanted to place things as you go along!\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Face & Gusset:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 2a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the GUSSET PIECE<\/strong><\/span> to the FACE PIECES<\/strong><\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sew along the face seam from A – B on one side…
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 2b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

…and on the other side.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 3<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Trace the HORN<\/strong><\/span> position onto the GUSSET PIECE<\/strong><\/span> now because it\u2019s easy to do this while the piece is flat!.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> Cut a hole in the GUSSET PATTERN PIECE TEMPLATE<\/strong><\/span> so you can trace the horn position marking onto the right side<\/strong><\/span> of the fabric GUSSET PIECE<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Muzzle & Face:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 4a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Pin the SIDE MUZZLE PIECES<\/strong><\/span> to the MIDDLE MUZZLE PIECE<\/strong><\/span>, matching the star pattern markings. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sew from A – D, on one side.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TIP:\u00a0<\/strong> Sew with the SIDE MUZZLE PIECE<\/strong><\/span> down.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 4b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Clip the seam well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 4c
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew from A – D, on the other side to form a cup shape. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 4d
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Clip this seam really well and turn the MUZZLE PIECES<\/strong><\/span> right sides out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 5a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Pin and sew the MUZZLE PIECES<\/strong><\/span> to the GUSSET & FACE PIECES<\/strong><\/span>, matching point E in the middle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 5b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the MUZZLE PIECES<\/strong><\/span> to the GUSSET & FACE PIECES<\/strong><\/span> from F – D – A – E – A – D – F.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 6
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the MUZZLE & FACE PIECES<\/strong><\/span> closed at the front, from G – F – H.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ears:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 7a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Pin and sew the EAR PIECES<\/strong><\/span> together in pairs (1 Main and 1 Contrast piece).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 7b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Trim the seams at the \u2018tips\u2019 to 3mm(\u215binch).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 8a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Turn the EARS<\/strong><\/span> right side out.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 8b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Fold the EARS<\/strong><\/span>, as shown by the pattern markings and pin them in this position. <\/span><\/p>\n

(Make sure you have a right and a left EAR!)<\/strong>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 9a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Using the pattern markings to guide you with the placement, pin the EARS<\/strong><\/span> to the FACE PIECES<\/strong><\/span> with the fold facing\/touching the FACE PIECES<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

*Line up the folded edge of each EAR<\/span> with the face seam at point B.
\n( see the black arrows in the photo below).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

STEP 9b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the EARS<\/strong><\/span> in place with a 3mm (\u215b inch) seam allowance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TIP:\u00a0<\/strong> This is VERY<\/strong><\/span> important because it will stop the EARS<\/strong><\/span> from slipping as you sew the head together. (Crooked ears will make your Unicorn look wonky! \"\ud83d\ude04\")<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Back Head:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 10
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the BACK HEAD PIECES<\/strong><\/span> together, from K \u2013 P (leave this seam open from P and M).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 11
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the BACK HEAD PIECES<\/strong><\/span> to the GUSSET & FACE PIECES<\/strong><\/span> from L – B – K – B – L, with the EARS<\/strong><\/span> in between.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eyes:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 12
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Turn the head right sides out. If you are using CRAFT EYES<\/strong><\/span> insert them now.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n


\n\u274c IMPORTANT TOY SAFETY NOTE<\/span>:<\/span> \u274c<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If the toy is for a child under 3 it is safest to use a black felt circle or embroider a black circle instead of using CRAFT EYES<\/strong><\/span>. Do this later, AFTER you have stuffed the unicorn. Please remember – a keepsake \/ memory toy that will be given to a baby (or child under 3 years old) should NOT have any small parts like buttons, craft eyes or weighted pellets! You can c<\/span><\/span>heck out this blog post for more toy safety information<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Toy-safety-tips-for-home<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> If you haven’t used craft eyes before – I have a tutorial to show you how to insert craft eyes<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a> on my blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"craft-eyes-tutorial-How-to-insert\"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tail:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 13a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Use a thin fabric, like the knit from baby clothing, for the TAIL PIECE<\/strong><\/span> . *** DON’T interface it!<\/strong><\/span>***<\/strong>\u00a0Cut the tassels in the TAIL PIECE<\/strong><\/span> as shown on the pattern markings.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 13b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Fold the sides of the TAIL PIECE<\/strong><\/span> to the center, at the top, with the WRONG sides of the fabric together<\/strong>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 13c
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Fold the top of the TAIL PIECE<\/strong><\/span> in half to form 4 layers and pin the layers together to hold them in this position.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Back:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 14
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Mark the position for the button joints on the RIGHT<\/strong> side of the fabric of the BACK PIECES<\/strong><\/span> (this will be on the outside of the body).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> This is VERY IMPORTANT<\/strong> so that you know where to push the needle through AFTER<\/strong> the parts are stuffed!!!!<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 15
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Pin the TAIL<\/strong><\/span> in place on one of the BACK PIECES<\/strong><\/span> and s<\/span>ew it in place with a 3mm (\u215b inch) seam allowance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 18
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the BACK PIECES<\/strong><\/span> together along the back seam, from N – O, leaving this seam open at the top between M and N.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Front:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 19
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the FRONT PIECES<\/strong><\/span> together along the front seam from H – O.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 20
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the FRONT and BACK PIECES<\/strong><\/span> together at the sides from L – O – L.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Neck Seam:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 21
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the head and body together at the neck seam. Sew from M – L – H – L – M.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> I find the best way to do this is to turn the head right sides out and position it \u2018inside the body\u2019 so you can pin the pieces together at the neck seam, with the fabric right sides together.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 22a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Pull the head back out of the body. <\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 22b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the BACK HEAD PIECES<\/strong><\/span> closed from P – M. (Don’t sew the stuffing gap closed – see the black arrow in the photo below)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Arms:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 23a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Mark the position for the button joints on the RIGHT<\/strong> side of the fabric of all 4 ARM PIECES<\/strong><\/span>. (This will be on the outside of the arms so that you will know where to push the needle through the arms for the button jointing<\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 23b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Cut a slit in 2 of the <\/span>ARM PIECES<\/strong><\/span>, as shown on the pattern markings. ONLY cut 2 of the ARM PIECES<\/span> – one right and one left!\u00a0 (reversed).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> If you fold the ARM PIECE<\/strong><\/span> template along the cutting line it makes it easy to mark exactly where you need to cut the slits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 24a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Pin and sew the cut ARM PIECES<\/strong><\/span> to the uncut ARM PIECES<\/strong><\/span> in pairs. Sew right around without leaving a gap.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 24b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Clip all curved edges and then turn the ARMS<\/strong><\/span> through the slits.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 24c
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Stuff the ARMS<\/strong><\/span> and sew the slits closed with a ladder stitch. (This hand stitching will be \u2018hidden\u2019 from sight when your toy is finished but be as neat as you can. I find it is neatest if I sew towards the button position).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Legs:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 25
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the HOOF PIECES<\/strong><\/span> to the LEG PIECES<\/strong><\/span> from Q – R.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 26
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Mark the position for the button joints on the RIGHT<\/strong> side of the fabric of all 4 LEG PIECES<\/strong><\/span> (this will be on the outside of the legs). Cut a slit in 2 LEG PIECES<\/strong><\/span>, as shown on the pattern markings, making sure you have a right and left leg (reversed).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 27
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Pin and sew the cut LEG & HOOF PIECES<\/strong><\/span> to the uncut LEG & HOOF PIECES<\/strong><\/span> in pairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 28
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Snip the curved seams then sew the HOOF PAD PIECES<\/strong><\/span> to the HOOF PIECES<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0Snip the curved seams around the FOOT PIECES<\/strong><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TIP: <\/strong>I have a tutorial on my blog to show you<\/span> how to sew perfect plushie feet<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a> – it’s easy when you know how!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 29
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Turn and stuff the LEGS<\/strong><\/span> through the slits. Sew the slits on the LEG PIECES<\/strong><\/span> closed with a ladder stitch. (Again, sew up towards the button position and be as neat as you can).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Assembly:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 30a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Turn the body and head right sides out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 30b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Stuff the unicorn’s head and body with toy stuffing. (This should be very well stuffed, especially the neck, as it provides support for the head.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 30c
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the BACK PIECES<\/strong><\/span> closed with a ladder stitch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

TIP: <\/strong>I find it looks neater if you sew UP towards the neck seam so your finishing off stitches will be hidden under the Unicorn\u2019s mane.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Button Jointing is easy! (Link to tutorial with VIDEO in TIP box)<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 31
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the LEGS<\/strong><\/span> to the body with a very long doll\u2019s needle, using strong thread. <\/span>Sew through one LEG<\/strong><\/span>, through the body and out through the other LEG<\/strong><\/span>, sew <\/span>back through and come out where you started. <\/span>Sew back and forth a few times, pulling the LEGS<\/strong><\/span> into the body a bit. <\/span>Once the LEGS<\/strong><\/span> are secure, sew a button (or a ribbon rose!) over your previous stitches.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

TIP:\u00a0<\/strong>I have a photo tutorial on my blog with step-by-step photos to show you exactly<\/span> how to do button jointing HERE<\/strong><\/span><\/a> – it’s easy when you know how!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

STEP 32
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the ARMS<\/strong><\/span> to the body in the same way as the LEGS<\/strong><\/span>. Use the strong <\/span>thread to secure them first, then sew on the buttons (or ribbon roses!) for decoration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> I like to make sure that the ARMS and LEGS<\/strong><\/span> are tight, because they will loosen up a bit with time. Pull them quite tight so that they will stay in a sitting position, but will still be able to swivel, if you want your bear to be able to be moved into a standing position as well.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Horn:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 33a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Fold the HORN PIECE<\/strong><\/span> and sew it closed at the side seam. Turn the HORN PIECE<\/strong><\/span> right sides out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

STEP 33b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Fold under a 5mm (\u00bcinch) seam at the base of the HORN<\/strong><\/span> and had sew this to hold it under. Stuff the HORN<\/strong><\/span> with toy stuffing.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Unicorn-Pattern-Hack-HORN\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 33c
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the HORN<\/strong><\/span> in place on the GUSSET PIECE<\/strong><\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mane:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 34a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

NOTE: I have included a MANE PATTERN PIECE<\/span> and instructions for creating a ruffled mane from baby clothing. Any thin fabric that can be gathered into a ruffle can be used f<\/span><\/span>or the MANE<\/span> – DON’T interface it ~> or it will be too stiff to gather into a ruffle!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cut the MANE PIECE<\/span> on the fold so you have one piece 39cm (15 inches) long.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

TIP:<\/strong> You can gather a piece of ribbon to make a ruffle 13cm (about 5 inches) long for a MANE<\/strong><\/span> or buy some pre-ruffled ribbon from a fabric\/haberdashery shop. (Make sure you use SOFT ribbon so it doesn\u2019t feel scratchy!) <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/h1>\n

STEP 34b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew a gathering stitch (an extra long stitch) down the centre of the MANE PIECE<\/strong><\/span>, as shown by the dashed line in the pattern markings. Pull the thread to gather the MANE PIECE<\/strong><\/span> into a ruffle 13cm (about 5 inches) long.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 34c
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Fold the ruffle in half along the gathering line, so the MANE<\/strong><\/span> forms a double layer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 34d
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Check that the ruffle will fit between the HORN<\/strong><\/span> and the neck seam, adjust the length as needed and pin the MANE<\/strong><\/span> in position.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 34e
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u00a0Hand sew (or use fabric glue) to secure the MANE<\/strong><\/span> in place.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\n

TIP:<\/strong> If you find hand-sewing difficult you can use fabric glue!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tutu:<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 35a
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Note<\/span>: I needed netting 15x180cm (6x70inches) wide BUT my netting fabric was only 60cm (about 70inches) wide. So I used 3 pieces 15x60cm (6x23inches)wide. I didn\u2019t join them, I simply threaded them onto the ribbon, one after the other, and pushed the edges of the netting together over the ribbon to make it look nice! *<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Fold the netting in half lengthwise and sew a line of stitching 1cm (\u00bdinch) from the folded edge to make a casing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

STEP 35b
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Thread some 5mm (\u00bcinch) thick ribbon through the casing and gather the netting to fit nicely around the unicorn\u2019s body like a tutu. (* See note above.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 35c
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Sew the netting to the ribbon at each end of the tutu to hold the tutu in shape, leave enough ribbon to tie the tutu on the unicorn, then trim off the extra length. Place the tutu on your unicorn and tie it in place.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Felt Flowers (or stars)!<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n

STEP 36
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Cut some FLOWERS<\/strong><\/span> (or STARS<\/strong><\/span>) to sew\/glue them on your Unicorn\u2019s head. <\/span><\/p>\n

***These photos show how to gather the 5 petal flower
\nand sew it together to make the felt flowers.***<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
