DIY Unicorn Dreamcatcher

by

This dreamcatcher can be a great gift for a Unicorn fan! It requires only a few supplies, which you might already have at home. Spare a few minutes to make this adorable unicorn theme dreamcatcher!

Materials

  1. Yarn – 5 to 6 Different Colors
  2. Felt fabric – 3 to 4 Different Colors
  3. Scissors
  4. Craft Wire – 16 Gauge
  5. Hotglue Gun
  6. Faux Pearl Beads

Step-1: Determine the size for the dreamcatcher and create the loop accordingly. Wrap the loop using white yarn or fabric; make sure to cover the loop entirely. Use white yarn to create the dreamcatcher web pattern inside the loop.

We love our Unicorn parties around here so much that we decided to create our own DIY Unicorn Party  Pinterest board. Which means we have literally 100’s of our favorite Unicorn ideas, party decorations, Unicorn cakes and other Unicorn tutorials and crafts all in one spot. You can check them all out here DIY Party Ideas – Unicorn.

Step-2: Cut out long strands from different colored yarns. Take 4 yarn strands to make a group and make 8-10 groups of yarns strands. Attach the yarn strand groups at the bottom intact side of the loop. You can trim the open bottom edges of the yarns if you want to.

 

Step-3: Use felt fabrics, cardstock papers to create flowers. Keep a nice and balanced color combination of the flowers. Make as many flowers as you’ll need. Cut out the unicorn horn pattern from a foam piece. Cut out a slightly curvy piece from foam piece, see picture of this step. This curvy piece will be the base for attaching the flowers, horns and ears.

 

Step-4:  Cover the top of the horn pattern using golden fabric or paper or paint, which ever supply is available. Attach the flowers on the front side of the base one by one. Attach the ears and then the horn at the back side of the base. And finally attach the curvy piece on the top side of the dreamcatcher loop.

 

Attach hanging mechanism and done! You can add more details if you want to.

Enjoy!

Cross Stitch Ice Cream and Frozen Treats

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost. 

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric. 

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28. 

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
