Unicorn Hair Craft Supplies:

• Cut out ears and a triangular horn for your unicorn.
• Now grab your stapler and paper plate half from the first step.
• Staple the cardstock pieces in place on the paper plate.
• Finally, for the last step, put a good amount of glue on the paper plate half.
• Lay a handful of shredded paper on top of the glue. Use your hand to squish it down.
