Materials

  • Paper
  • Glue
  • Black Marker
  • Pink Paint
  • Toilet Paper Tubes recycled
  • Gold Glitter Foam Sheet
  • Rainbow Yarn
  • Scissors

Instructions

  • Measure the strips of paper long enough and wide enough for your toilet paper tube and then cut to size.
  • You can choose any colour you want to pick. I think purple, pinks and blues go well when making a DIY Unicorn.
  • Wrap the paper around the toilet paper tube and secure with glue. This creates the body of your DIY Unicorn.
  • Repeat using all the different colours you that you have picked out.
  • You can make just one or a whole collection of Handmade Unicorns.
  • Put 4 fingers together and then wrap yarn around them over and over until you have a thick “circle” of yarn.
  • Next you will need to gently pull the yarn off your fingers. Tie the yarn up in the middle with another piece of yarn.
  • Cut the circle of yarn on the opposite side of the tied up portion.
  • You will have yarn of equal length on each side of the tied portion.
  • Tie the yarn a second time on one side to secure and then cut the yarn into 2 pieces.
  • One will be shorter than the other. This creates the hair for your DIY unicorn.
  • Glue the smaller chunk of yarn inside the top of the toilet paper tube, leaving some of it hang out over the toilet paper tube.
  • Glue the larger chunk of yard on the middle of the toilet paper tube in the back. This is the DIY unicorn’s tail.
  • Now you can use the scissors to style your unicorn hair and make the unicorn craft unique.
  • Cut a horn from and glue on top of the yarn hair.
  • Cut ears from card stock, pinch and the secure with a bit of glue.
  • Glue the ears on top of the yarn hair.Dig the bottom of the ears into the hair so you don’t see any icky parts.
  • Dig the bottom of the ears into the hair so you don’t see any icky parts.
  • Draw eyes onto the toilet paper tubes with black marker.
  • Dip your finger into pink paint and give your unicorn some rosy cheeks.
