So I cut some notches on every-other fold, about 3cm deep. Fold a sheet of paper concertina style, back and forth (my paper measured approx 24x34cm, and my folds were about 2cm apart). Here’s how I made the concertina flowers…ġ. Then I stuck them to walls and doors with blue-tac, and added a concertina-flower style decoration on top to hide the sellotape: When I had enough colours I added sellotape on top too. I made these by laying some sellotape sticky-side-up on my table, then placing strips of crepe paper on top, overlapping them slightly. I added a bit of colour to the house too, with some rainbow crepe-paper decorations. They all looked so colourful dashing and galloping around! The ‘manes’ were hot glued to the headbands, and the ‘tails’ were sewn onto a small square of felt with a safety pin on to add it to the girl’s dresses. Then we just cut lots of strips of different coloured crepe papers, and stapled them together. I cut the ear shapes all from craft foam and sewed them with a fold, then hot-glued them to the headbands. Sorry I don’t have photos of the process as we made them all one evening (there may have been wine involved). ![]() Plus a couple of lovely friends (Rosie and Ali) who came to help me put them together! So I made mine from crepe paper, felt, and craft foam, plus some headbands picked up at the 99p store, and a bit of stitching, staples, and hot glue. It would have been cool to make some long lasting ones, like these crochet ears, or this velcro tail, but I didn’t really have the time or the funds. The main thing I wanted to do was have some pony manes and tails as ‘costumes’ for the girls to dress up in. ![]() Of course she’s a fan of the modern tv show and characters but they have the same spirit! I kept a bunch of My Little Ponies from when I was young, just in case I had a daughter one day, so I was really pleased that she loves to play with them. Okay, it was way back in March but I only just realised I never blogged about it! I did share a layout about the pony tails I made HERE, but I wanted to share some of the other details that added to the fun… I had an amazing time hosting a My Little Pony Party for my daughter’s 6th birthday earlier this year.
