Craft Supplies:
* Large Paper Plate – one makes TWO unicorns

* Now grab your white cardstock.
* Cut out a head and tail for each unicorn.
* Go ahead and decorate those pieces however you like. Don’t forget to give your unicorn beautiful eyelash eyes! {I used the Tulip Puffy Paint and glitter on the tail but you can also use markers, glitter glue, paint etc. on this step!}
* Next grab your gold paper.
* Cut out a horn for each unicorn.
* Glue it to the head piece.
* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* To finish off the Paper Plate Christmas Unicorn, have children staple/glue their cardstock pieces to the paper plate.

* At this point in time you can also add other embellishments you see fit.
* Then display proudly!!!
