4 Unicorn Alterations The unicorn is made from the horse pattern. The fleece and felt color can be as wild as you want. The only major addition is the horn. Fleece Color I wanted a purple unicorn, so I chose this light patchy purple fleece as my body color. Pick whatever color fleece you want. Fancy Hooves Look for decorated felt for the horn and hooves. I chose a purple felt sheet scattered with glitter hearts from Michaels. Pay attention to the placement of the hearts when cutting out the horn, hooves and foot. You don t want your heart ending up along the seam and cut off from view. The hooves of the unicorn are made exactly like the horse, but using a different felt. Follow the instructions for making the horse puppet. The final step is adding the horn under the forelock and above the eyes. ~ Puppet Patterns ~ Page 4

5 Horn Step 1: Cut Unicorn Horn (U) out of felt. Step 2: Pin 12 length of ribbon a bit off center at the narrow end of horn. Step 3: Fold the horn in half lengthwise and pin together along Seam B-1. Step 4: Sew Seam B-1 using a 1/4 seam allowance. Step 5: Trim the excess felt at the top of the horn to remove the bulk. ~ Puppet Patterns ~ Page 5

6 Step 6: Turn right side out. Step 7: Stuff the horn to desired fullness. Step 8: Wrap the ribbon around the horn tightening a bit as you go to form the bulging shape of the horn. Step 9: Pin the ribbon in place near the bottom of the horn. Step 10: Tack the ribbon in place with a few hand stitches. Step 11: Fold the bottom 1/2 edge of the horn in and hand sew the felt in place. Note: You should have a flat bottom to the horn with a circular shape. Step 12: Hand sew the horn to the head of the unicorn puppet. ~ Puppet Patterns ~ Page 6
