- Next grab some cardstock and cut out a horn for the unicorn. Staple that onto the paper plate as well.
- At this point in time you should also cut out a large oval shape for the nose, out of the pink and staple that to the plate as well.
- Now grab the yarn. Cut off a few strands and tie them together to make a “mane” for the unicorn. Staple and/or hot glue it to the paper plate.
