Here is his unicorn horn!
It is impossible not to laugh while wearing it. Do not be fooled by his expression.
A lot of the materials used here were things I already had. The inside of the horn is a styrofoam cone (with the top lopped off, mysteriously) that we found at an arts supply store for $1.50 or something like that, and it was the perfect material because I could just pin right into it. I covered it in the same white flannel I used for my candy corn costume. I had the gold braid from a time when I thought I would like to make a nautical-inspired summer tote, and I happened to have the faux fur trim as well. Don't ask. Let's just say I can't resist soft things and "buy 1 get 2 free" sales. The whole thing took me about, oh, six minutes to make while watching some Woody Allen movie on Saturday Night at the Movies.

I love that it looks completely cobbled together and rough, I love that the "mane" looks like an acrylic mullet, and I love that he's going to wear a button-down white shirt with it. I am so charmed by it! There will be faux fur cuffs at the wrists and ankles, and a tail, but this is the main part. The pièce de résistance, if you will.
For someone who hasn't dressed up for Hallowe'en in over five years, I am certainly enthusiastic about the one coming up! I don't know why! Candy corn and unicorn -- together we are (here it comes) CORNY!
this is sooo adorable and completely hilarious. :)
