Craft a no-sew royal unicorn banner for your doll's bedroom

The finished unicorn banner.

       We have a unicorn themed bedroom in our large, 18'', American Girl Dollhouse. This is one of several crafts that have been made to decorate the room.

 Supply List:

• one square each of purple and white felt
• scrap yellow felt for crown
• purple velvet ribbon to trim the edges
• a wooden dowel or something similar
• purple ribbon and/or yarn for the hanger
• rainbow colored ribbons for the unicorn's mane
• a black permanent ink marker for the unicorn eye lashes and nose holes
• tiny gems or perhaps glitter glue (optional decorations)
• fabric tack (glue) and/or hot glue for the horn

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cut the purple felt into a 9 x 5 inch piece.
2. Make a narrow casing for chenille stems to be inserted through. Fold over one of the narrower ends of the felt 1/2 inch and glue it down to the back side of your unicorn textile banner. 
3. While the glue dries, print, cut out and trace around the unicorn pattern below, on top of the white or ivory felt to shape the royal unicorn head and to also shape the bottom of the banner into a "V." like the sample shown here.
4. Trace around the ear pattern on top of more white felt. Cut two ears and glue these in place.
5. Using a black permanent marker, draw on the unicorn's eye lashes and breathing holes.
6. Now cut the rainbow colors of ribbon in two inch pieces, folding these in half and glue one-at-a time down the ''neck'' of the unicorn on it's backside. As you continue to glue on this mane working downward, make the ribbon shorter. The edges of the ribbon will be hidden behind the unicorn cut-out when it is glued to the banner.
7. Glue the entire unicorn head onto the purple banner. Let dry
8. Cut the horn and crown from felt while the banner is drying.
9. Glue along the side seam of the horn, folding it in half lengthwise to shape a horn. Once this has dried, you can then invert the felt to hide the seam inside. Stuff it with a small bit of cotton.
10. Glue the yellow, felt crown around the base of the horn before gluing it in place between the ears.
11. Glue on the velvet purple ribbon to trim-out the edges.
12. Insert the dowel and cut it to the correct length. Tie the ribbon onto it to hang the banner.

entire head piece down on top of the banner. In this way the ribbons
ends will be hidden and neatly tucked under the felt.
