- Next grab your crayons and/or markers. Color the inside and the hair of your unicorn however YOU like!
- If desired, add some embellishments like glitter, stickers – whatever the heart desires. Make that unicorn as magical as you are!
- Once done, cut out the unicorn shape. Discard excess paper and set aside your unicorn body.
- Now grab TWO {or four} clothespins per unicorn. Using the same crayons and/or markers, decorate each one to represent the legs of the unicorn.
- Finally, when done decorating the wooden legs, PIN them to your paper unicorn cutout. Adjust them so the unicorn stands nicely on it’s own.
- When done, display proudly!

Customize It:
- 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!
