• Discard excess paper.
• Now grab your remaining cardstock paper and scissors.
• Cut out a large triangle horn, petal shaped ears and oval nose for your unicorn.
• 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.}
• 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.
• Then allow your piece to dry completely before you display your custom one-of-a-kind seashell unicorn head piece proudly for all to see!
