Directions:

  • If you aren’t using premade cards, go ahead and make those first.
  • Using your scissors – first trim down your scrap pieces to give the look of a stacked cake.  This is done by cutting rectangles out of the scraps and then trimming each one down a bit, as the cake gets taller. Keep in mind, the smallest top piece should be WHITE for the unicorn head.
  • Out the remaining cardstock, cut out ears and an unicorn horn.
  • Go ahead and also punch out a few paper flowers as well.
  • Now grab your adhesive and apply it on the back of each scrap piece.
  • Place them on the card in their correct formation.
  • Next up – the unicorn embellishments. Add the triangle horn, the flower “hair” and of course, draw on some eyelashes with the Sharpie markers.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit.
  • If desired – add a stamped “birthday” sentiment somewhere on the card.
  • Repeat process for each unicorn birthday cake card you want to make today!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
