How to Make a Unicorn Bookmark
Follow these steps to make a unicorn bookmark:
1. Draw triangle shapes (2 big, 2 small (different colors) for ears and 1 taller/narrow for horn) and flowers on the thick card stock. Cut out those pieces and use them as patterns to trace the same shapes on the construction paper and glitter paper. (See image below to copy the colors we used.)
Draw and cut out 2 small circles from the card stock. Set these aside – they will be the eyes.
2. Glue the smaller triangles on top of the larger triangles.
3. Fold a large triangle with one side of the pink paper as shown below. Use scissors to trim off the excess.
4. Follow the folds shown in the photos below, in the order that they are shown.
Fold the tops of these flaps and tuck them into the pocket.
5. It’s time to attach the different pieces to your folded paper! Use the double-sided tape to attach everything. Place the horn on the upper middle part of the “head” and place the ears at the top, both taped to the back. Tape the flowers to the front of the unicorn face.
6. Use the black marker to decorate the card stock circles to look like eyes. Glue or tape the eyes to the unicorn face.
7. To finish up this craft, draw a smiling mouth on the unicorn and add some eyelashes with the black marker. How cute!
