One of the features that gives the characteristic appearance of thebeautiful fantasy creaturesis undoubtedly the magnificent mane in soft, pastel rainbow colors. The craft foam is ideal for this. To make this step easy, we recommend using a template. Even if it sounds a bit strange, you will need a mustache stencil in different sizes to create the beautiful curved shape.
You can then concentrate on cutting out. Now fold the colorful mustaches and cut them in the middle. Sort the craft foam by size. In the next step you can attach the largest pieces to the pumpkin for the first time. Then attach the medium-sized pieces. Finally, glue the smallest craft foam elements around the stump or face of the unicorn pumpkin.
The horn is then made from the shimmering gold paper. Attach it with hot glue just in front of the stump. Until youfriendly unicornOnce the pumpkin shines in all its beauty, all you have to do is cut out the eyelashes from black glitter paper and attach them too.
Feel free to try out different design options when you conjure up the unicorn creature for Halloween, carnival or a theme party. For example, if you don't have suitable paper for your eyelashes at hand, a black permanent marker can serve you well. The closed eyes are painted in no time.
You can also attach the unicorn's straight horn using a rubber band. The white rubber band is positioned in the natural hollows of the pumpkin so that it is barely visible. If you don't want to use an artificial pumpkin for your cute unicorn decoration for carnival or Halloween, you can of course also turn a real pumpkin into a unicorn. Spray paint in a color of your choice ensures the perfect basis for your next exciting craft project.
The image example above illustrates another cute alternative to the usual decorations with a high spooky factor. The unicorn is made from plasticine and wrapped around a wooden stick. The typical mane has been replaced here by a beautiful flower crown. You can also use pink color to create cheeks for that pretty face. This unicorn pumpkin is charming and certainly a perfect decoration not only in autumn and Halloween.
As for choosing flowers, feel free to choose artificial flowers of any kind. The unicorn will certainly look particularly nice with real flowers, but they will only stay fresh for a short time and then have to be replaced. More practical are the artificial flowers that you can combine and arrange as you wish. Positioned around the unicorn or arranged to the side like a waterfall, they look beautiful.
Paper flowers are a beautiful and subtle decoration for the unicorn's mane. Soft pastel colors such as gold and silver are an excellent choice. You can also make the elegant paper flowers yourself using the appropriate template. Three-dimensional flowers around the horn are also beautiful. You can also use pipe cleaners for the mane.
The unicorn pumpkin is a nice decoration idea not only at Halloween and carnival time. The unicorn above looks incredibly beautiful and girly. Your little princess would definitely be happy to have such a pink little unicorn. Simply spray paint on the pumpkin, paint a cute face, glue the ears on it and attach the beautiful mane. Thick yarn or wool are other suitable materials for this great craft. Simply cut the wool in bundles to the desired length and glue them on.
