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.

Instructions

The process involves making the ears, horn, and mane, painting the pumpkins and clay parts, and attaching the horn, ears, mane, eyelashes, and bats to the pumpkin. With the provided free templates for bats and eyelashes, cutting is made easier.

The resulting unicorn pumpkins are cute and not scary, making them perfect for any Halloween gathering. A printable how-to card for the project is available, so you can easily follow the steps and create your own magical unicorn pumpkins.

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!
