    Advice on unicorn horn construction for dog Halloween costume?



    I can build most functional things, but I'm totally lacking when it comes to making creative things. I need to make a unicorn horn for my dog's Halloween costume. We decided he should be a unicorn after the eighth or ninth person didn't get Serge Gainesbark. I'm working with a birthday hat concept. Is there a way to gromet poster board or simply strengthen a punched hole in order to attach ribbon or elastic to it? Should I be looking at a different design, materials, etc? The dog will not be happy wearing this thing. He's going to buck and probably pee in defiance. I'm hoping someone may be able to help, thank you!!



    This is the victim:

    I'd jsut go with the birthday hat / cone shape, if you need to strengthen the lower part where you'll punch the string holes, you can just put a couple of layers of tape on the inside so the hole wont rip.

      Leather is a really good idea, I hadn't thought beyond second grade classroom materials - construction paper, glue, string, and most importantly glitter.

        We went with the cone horn. The "hole integrity" did not prove to be our downfall. Putting a cone horn on the dog and expecting him to tolerate it for more than a few seconds was. There was a dog at the costume contest wearing a full space suit with the fish bowl helmet. We should have stuck with the more conceptual idea.

            Way too many pictures, I'm afraid. We said, "We'll get a dog, but we won't become crazy dog people".
