Our tutorial is a fun and easy craft project for Valentine’s Day. Kids will love creating and showing off their heart shaped unicorn creations!
Craft Supplies:
- Large Craft Foam Hearts
- Cardstock Paper
- Gold Glitter Cardstock Paper
- School Glue
- Basic Craft Scissors
- Large Wiggle Eyes
- Hand-Held Office Stapler
- Tye-dye Craft Yarn
Directions:
- One craft foam heart will make ONE unicorn. Go ahead and pull it out in front of you.
- First grab all your sheets of cardstock paper and scissors. Have children cut a nose, unicorn horn, ears etc. for EACH unicorn they are making.
- Set all the paper pieces aside when you are done.
- Now grab the craft yarn and the scissors again.
- Cut a handful of 4 inch pieces of yarn {maybe 10-20 strands depending on how full you want the hair to be.}
- Lay them all together, facing all the same direction.
- Cut another piece of yarn and tie it around the center of your yarn bunch. This will the unicorn’s hair.
- To finish off your Craft Foam Heart Unicorn, have children glue their cardstock pieces in place, as well stapling on the yarn hair to the top of the heart shape.
- Then add a wiggle eye and any other embellishments they see fit {like glitter, heart stickers etc.} before displaying proudly!
- Remember to encourage your child to really add their own crafty spin along the way!!!
