Directions:

  • Cut a handful of 4 inch pieces of yarn {maybe 10-20 strands depending on how full you want the hair to be.}
  • Cut off another piece of yarn and tie it around the center of your yarn bunch. This will the unicorn’s hair.
  • To finish off your Paper Seashell Unicorn, glue their cardstock pieces in place, as well stapling on the yarn hair to the top of the seashell design.
  • Follow that up by gluing down the wiggle eyes as well.
  • To finish it off, add the custom elements like lines of glitter glue and sequins.
