🖌️ How To Make Paper Unicorn Party Bags
- Step 1: Take the coloured paper bag and use a black sharpie to draw the unicorn face on it. Keep it nice and simple, I drew the eyes, nose and mouth. Use brown sharpie to draw freckles on both cheeks of the unicorn face.
- Step 2: Select different coloured craft papers and trace the patterns from the template on the papers. The template includes – 3 spiral patterns for the flowers, 2 outer ear and 2 inner ear patterns and 1 horn pattern. Use the scissors to cut these out.
- Step 3: Use the spiral patterns to create rolled flowers. Glue the inner ear patterns on the outer ear patterns.
- Step 4: Take the ear patterns and fold the bottom corners of the paper ears inwards and glue to secure the fold.
- Step 5: All items ready? First glue the horn on the top side of the bag.
- Step 6: Next glue the flowers to the top of the bag.
- Step 7: Now the Unicorn Party Bag is ready.
Enjoy!
💡 Pro Tip: Before gluing, arrange all elements on the bag to visualize the design and ensure balanced placement.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips for DIY Unicorn Party Gift Bags
- Select the Right Base: Choose white or pastel-colored paper bags as your base for a clean, neutral backdrop.
- Craft the Horn: Cut a triangle from gold glitter paper for the horn. For added texture, consider using metallic or glossy craft paper.
- Design the Ears: Cut ear shapes from white cardstock, then add pink centers using pink foam or paper. Fold the bottom corners inward and glue to create a 3D effect.
- Add Facial Features: Use a black Sharpie to draw large eyes, a small nose, and a smiling mouth. Add freckles with a brown Sharpie for extra charm.
- Embellish with Flowers: Glue paper flowers or foam flower stickers around the base of the horn. Layering different sizes and colors can create a fuller look.
- Personalize: Attach a personalized unicorn-themed sticker or tag to the front of the bag for a unique touch.
