Directions
- Make Unicorn Horns: Roll out a piece of gold clay into a horn about 3 inches long and 3/4" wide at the base, ending at a point. Insert a toothpick into the base, leaving about an inch and a half exposed. Bake in the oven according to package directions. Let cool completely.
- Attach Unicorn Horns: If your pumpkins have stems, remove them. Insert the toothpick at the base of the unicorn horns into the pumpkins, right on top.
- Decorate your unicorn: Use colored felt to customize each unicorn. Freehand cut ears, flowers, and other accessories. For the boy unicorn, freehand the sunglasses to match the pumpkin size and shape.
- Glue the unicorn crowns together: Hot glue the felt pieces directly onto the pumpkin. Begin with the pointy ears, then add flowers and other accessories as desired.
- Add sleepy unicorn eyes: Use black paint and a fine detail paintbrush to add little eyes or a smile. Let the paint dry.
