To create your own DIY unicorn pumpkins, you'll need mini faux pumpkins, acrylic paint (white, metallic gold, and pink), yarn for the manes, air dry clay, black cardstock, toothpicks, craft glue, and templates for bats and eyelashes. You can find some supplies for the unicorn pumpkin project at a dollar store.

Colour Options
Using rainbow yarn for the mane could be a fun option, or you could opt for Halloween colours like black and orange. For a touch of sparkle, consider using Sparkle Mod Podge or glitter paint on the horn or other elements of the unicorn pumpkins.
So, gather your materials, follow the instructions, and let your creativity shine as you transform simple pumpkins into fairytale masterpieces. Happy crafting!
