Easter is drawing ever so closer and it's almost time for egg decorating season. When I was a child I decorated an egg which won first prize. It was a little ballerina egg and had a bun case for a tutu. I was so proud of it and remember it 20 years later.
Last week we shared some fantastic DIY Unicorn Gift Bags. I also made a fantastic Unicorn painted rock which is absolutely adorable. I'm sure you will love it.

🖌️ How To Paint Unicorn Eggs

- Step 3: Roll the circle up into a horn shape. Secure the horn shape with a bit of hot glue.
- Step 4: Trace the ear and leaf template onto cardstock. Cut the pieces out.
- Step 5: Glue the pink inner ear onto the white portion of the ear. Set aside.
- Step 6: Glue the unicorn horn on the very top of the egg. (don’t forget that the top of the egg is more narrow than the bottom)
- Step 7: Glue an ear on each side of the horn.
- Step 8: Decorate the unicorn egg by gluing on paper flowers and the green leaves that you cut.
- Step 9: Use a pencil to draw on some sassy eyes and lashes.
- Step 10: Now it's time to add a face.
- Step 11: Once you are happy with the eyes, trace over them with black posca paint marker or a black permanent marker. Your unicorn eggs are finished and quite magical! What do you think? We love them a lot!
Display them in egg cups or in an egg carton! They will look amazing.
You may even want to glam up a egg carton, add glitter and make it into a cute decorative piece.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep your unicorns upright by placing them in a mini cupcake liner or a paper ring base. It’s a cute and practical solution to display your creations with stability.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Paint the Base: Apply 1–2 coats of white paint to wooden eggs, ensuring each layer dries completely for a smooth base that will hold vibrant colors.
- Craft the Horn: Cut a circle from gold glitter cardstock, roll it into a cone shape, and secure with hot glue to create the perfect unicorn horn.
- Prepare the Ears: Trace ear shapes onto cardstock, cut them out, and glue pink inner ears to the white outer ears for a cute, detailed look.
- Assemble the Unicorn: Attach the horn to the top of the egg and glue the ears on either side, ensuring they’re evenly positioned for balance.
- Add Floral Accents: Glue paper flowers and green leaves around the base of the horn to give your unicorn a colorful, fun, and whimsical mane.
- Draw the Face: Sketch eyes and lashes lightly with a pencil, then trace over them with a black marker to add a whimsical touch.
