  • White Acrylic Craft Paint
  • White Craft Felt
  • Pink Craft Felt
  • Yellow Craft Felt
  • Satin Ribbon any color of choice

Instructions
 

  • To create a unicorn, line up four jumbo craft sticks on your work surface. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the unicorn and attach them with a glue gun and glue sticks to secure them all together.


    Lining Up Sticks and Secure at the Back
  • Paint the front and sides of the unicorn with white acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.


  • Download, print, and cut out the free printable Unicorn pattern. Using a marker, trace the nose and small ear patterns onto pink felt. Trace mane and large ear patterns onto white felt and trace the horn pattern onto yellow felt.


    Tracing Features onto Felt
  • Cut out all shapes with scissors, making sure to cut inside the traced lines for a clean, finished project. Fringe the long edge of the mane by cutting small slits with scissors.


    Cutting Felt Features
  • Add iridescent glitter glue accents to the unicorn horn, then set it aside to dry. Colored craft paper or craft foam could be used instead of felt.


    Adding Glitter Glue to Horn
  • Glue the pink felt nose to the bottom edge of the unicorn. Attach the pink ears to the white ears with a glue gun and glue sticks. Flip the unicorn over and glue the ears to the top right and left sides. You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.


    Attaching Felt Pieces
  • Flip over the unicorn’s eye pattern and scribble all over the back with a pencil. Flip the pattern back over and position it in the top center of the unicorn. Trace around the pattern with a pencil, transferring the eyes and eyelashes onto the craft sticks. Ink in the features with a black marker. Draw the nostrils onto the nose with a black marker.




    Transferring Eyes
  • Drawing on Features
  • Finish by attaching the unicorn’s horn to the back, and top center of the unicorn’s head with a glue gun and glue sticks. Tie the satin ribbon in a bow and glue it to the top center of the unicorn.
