Ingredients

Instructions

  • Unicorn Birthday Party Invitation Instructions
  • Print the Simple Unicorn Birthday Party Invitation Pattern Link by clicking on this link or make patterns yourself with these simple directions.
  • Use the printed pattern (or a cup) to make circles from white card stock or construction paper (two per invitation). Glue a printed copy or write your party information on one of the two circles and set it aside.
  • Cut an oval from pink paper that will fit on the bottom of the second circle as a muzzle/nose for the unicorn. Draw two dots/lines on the nose for nostrils and add a smile if you want. Glue this to the bottom of the second white circle.
  • Draw large circles with black dots inside for eyes and/or glue on googly eyes. Of course, I had to draw eyelashes!
  • Cut two triangles of the white paper for two ears and glue to the back of the circle so they stick out like ears when seen from the front. 
  • Cut a rectangle from blue paper (or other colored paper). Cut into it (but not all the way through) to make fringe. Glue this behind the ears and make the fringe bend over the front of the circle like mane.
  • Cut a longer triangle from gold paper to be the unicorn horn (I used pink paper). Glue this behind the fringe so it sticks up for the horn. 
  • Glue the first white circle with the party info onto the back of the decorated circle.
  • Unicorn Paper Plate Craft
  • The second craft is a unicorn made from a white paper plate and it is made exactly like the invitation except larger.
  • Enlarge the Unicorn pattern (here is the link to the pattern) or draw your own pieces on paper in a larger size that is in proportion to the size of the paper plate.
  • Assemble the unicorn craft in the exact same way as the invitation. It works well to staple the ears, mane, and horn on the top of the plate if you don’t want to try glue sticks or glue. Use the larger googly eyes or just draw the eyes on the unicorn.
  • It would be cute to use clothes pins to hang up the unicorns across a piece of ribbon or twine as part of your decorations, perhaps behind the treats table.
