Hot glue the flowers all over the headband, then hot glue the plastic gems to the. Make sure to overlap the base of the horn a bit and conceal the elastic band. You are the proud brand-new owner of a unicorn horn flower crown!

By the method, it would be really simple to stick a couple ears in there amidst the flowers. According to Kaia, nevertheless, she already has 2 ears and didn't desire any more.
