Unique unicorn

This unicorn pumpkin is easy and fun to make and there's plenty of scope to let your imagination go wild by adding more embellishments. 

Supplies

  • White pumpkin (or paint an orange one with white paint)
  • Pink foam sheet or pink card stock
  • Self-adhesive jewels
  • Fake eyelashes
  • Pink tulle ribbon
  • Straight pins
  • Scissors
  • Glue dots

Instructions

  1. Roll the pink foam or card stock into a cone for the horn. Glue it closed with glue dots.
  2. Decorate the horn with jewels.
  3. Using straight pins, pin the horn in front of the pumpkin’s stem.
  4. To create the mane, cut a 6-inch length of pink tulle.
  5. Holding the tulle with the long side against the pumpkin, pin the end of the tulle onto the pumpkin, just behind the horn
  6. Gather the tulle about a half-inch behind the first pin, and pin it on, so that the tulle sticks up like a mane. Repeat until the mane goes all the way down the back of the pumpkin.
  7. Adhere the fake eyelashes.
