The concept of a "ticking chair witch" is a subject that is steeped in myth and folklore. This term refers to the belief that certain old rocking chairs have the ability to become inhabited by witches or supernatural entities. The origins of this belief are not entirely clear, but it has been a topic of speculation and storytelling for many years. According to legend, the ticking chair witch is said to come to life late at night, when the house is quiet and everyone is asleep. It is believed that the witch takes advantage of this time to roam freely in the physical world. Some stories suggest that the witch may use the rocking motion of the chair to create spells or perform supernatural acts.

I’ll be sharing my entire DIY Unicorn costume in another post, but below, I’m showing how I made the best part – the light-up horn.

Here’s a short video of how it looks in the dark:

Some stories suggest that the witch may use the rocking motion of the chair to create spells or perform supernatural acts. The ticking chair witch is often depicted as an old, haggard woman with wicked intentions. She may be dressed in tattered clothing and have long, unkempt hair.

DIY Lighted Unicorn Horn Headband Tutorial

• 3 Felt Sheets (1 stiff, 1 soft, 1 “pretty”)
• Multi-colored LED Lights (I used 2 strands)
• Glue Gun (or fabric glue)
• Thread / Needle
• Ribbon
• Decorative Trim (I used faux fur)
• Scissors

I started by rolling this sheet of CPE Stiffened EasyFelt into a cone shape, and cutting off the excess pieces.

Then, I hooked the end of one of the LED light stings to the top of the horn. I rolled the cone shape around the lights, and stuffed the excess light wires into the horn.

Next, I traced the round opening on the bottom onto some of the excess felt, and cut out a piece to close off the bottom (with wings to tuck in and glue to the sides of the cone’s interior).

I glued the battery packs side by side to the bottom piece, then tucked everything into the cone and glued into place, making sure the ON/OFF switches were still accessible.

Next, I covered the cone shape with 2 more pieces of felt – 1 that was really soft and cushy, and one that was a little stiffer with pretty sparkles.

It’s important to make the inside piece slightly smaller than the outside piece so that the bottom/inside one won’t be exposed once you roll it around the cone (see the arrow below – that’s what you don’t want – I didn’t cut it down enough).

Next, use a needle and some strong thread to wrap very tightly around the horn. You want to create indentations with the thread.

I used the needle to secure the thread to the top, wrapped it tightly around the cone, then used the needle again to secure it at the bottom.

The strongest thread I had on-hand was gray, but if you have white, you may want to use that so it’s less visible.

Next, use your glue gun (or a fabric glue) to carefully cover thread with a pretty ribbon (pulling tightly as you go).

Next, you’ll attach your horn to either a hair clip or headband.

I added some gold glitter paper to this kitty cat ears headband from Charlotte Russe (which I already had on hand). Then paired it with a 2nd headband that has white fluffy ears.

I attached the pair of headbands together using a piece of leftover felt, then glued the horn to the felt on the top of the headbands.

Once the horn has been glued to a headband or hair clip, you can dress up the bottom with some trim. I used some faux fur from an old Santa hat.

Here is the completed headband with ears and the light-up horn:

Some tales even describe her with green skin and a crooked nose. The image of the witch sitting in a rocking chair can be a chilling one, evoking feelings of fear and unease. Historically, rocking chairs have been associated with relaxation and comfort. They provide a soothing motion that can lull a person to sleep or help them relax after a long day. However, the idea that these same chairs could be inhabited by a witch challenges this perception and adds an element of danger and mystery. While the concept of a ticking chair witch is largely a work of fiction, it has become a popular trope in literature, movies, and other forms of media. It has been used to create suspenseful and eerie atmospheres, adding an element of supernatural terror to stories. In conclusion, the ticking chair witch is a fascinating concept that blends folklore and imagination. Though purely fictional, it captures our fascination with the supernatural and our fears of the unknown. Whether it is a story to scare children or a source of inspiration for creative works, the ticking chair witch remains an intriguing and captivating concept in the world of folklore..
