Make It Your Own:
Another way to change up this easy craft tutorial is to use watercolors and black glue to decorate the unicorn.
I have a great example of this technique in our Watercolor Llama tutorial 🙂 You’ll just have to allow the craft medium to dry completely before you cut out the shape and add the clothespins!
