Materials for rocking Unicorn Craft:

• Cardstock (pinks, whites)
• Pipecleaners (assorted colors)
• Glue stick
• Single hole puncher
• Permanent marker
• Craft scissors
• Gold glitter paper

 

Instructions:

• First, use something round (I used a lid, about 4″ in diameter) to trace a circle onto the pink cardstock. Cut out and fold in half.

 

• Next, cut out the neck and head for the unicorn. I free-hand drawn.
• Cut out a long triangle from the gold glitter paper for the horn.

Prep all of these supplies along with a glue stick for the kids.

• Firstly, lets put the unicorn body together. Then make 3 holes in the head and 3 for the tail.

• Secondly, choose 3 pipecleaners, cut in half and make a braid with one set of 3 pipecleaners. Secure the ends with one of the pipecleaners by wrapping it around.

• Next, thread the open ends of the pipecleaners through the holes in the head and secure my bending.

• Thread the other 3, unbraided pipecleaners through the holes for the tail and curl slightly using your hands.

•  Finally, draw a face using the permanent marker. Now your rocking unicorn craft is done!
