DECK THE HALLS WITH THIS DIY 3D PAPERCRAFT UNICORN HEAD + CRICUT GIVEAWAY!
YOU WILL NEED:
Card Stock in the colours of your choice// Cricut Explore or Scissors & photo resizing software// Glue// Unicorn Templates//
STEP 1:
Download & resize the templates below, then upload to the Cricut Design Space. Follow the instructions on screen for cutting. (Don’t worry if you don’t have a Cricut as this is still super easy without one, however you will still need photo resizing software. Instead just download & resize, then print & cut out the templates by hand – including the slits.) And if you don’t have a Cricut, then hang in there as you can be in with a chance of winning one, just scroll on down to the bottom of this post.
Mount Template (9.5″ x8″)
Unicorn Head Template A (6.8″ x4″), B (5.3″ x3.6″), C (7.1″ x 4″), D (6.1″ x4″), E (5.3″ x 3.6″), F (9.6″ x 7.6″), G (9.6″ x 7.6″)
Unicorn Horn Template H (5.7″ x 1″), I (0.7″ x0.03″)
STEP 2:
It might make it easier if you start by making sure you letter you templates as we have above. Start by lining the base (A), up with the slits on the mount. Then insert the body of the unicorn (F) into one of the slits. This will secure both the base and body of the unicorn to the mount. Fold the tab over at the back and repeat with G.
STEP 3:
Now slot in the rest of the neck sides with C next, then E, followed by B and finally E
STEP 4:
Glue the two sides of the unicorn horn together (H). Then starting at the widest end of the horn insert the horn sides(I) from big (at the bottom) to small (at the top). Last but not least insert your horn onto the middle neck side, just below the ears.
You can now glue the tabs at the back of the mount down for a more secure finish.
I have a feeling this is going to be my favourite christmas decoration this year!

Hi! Just wondering if I glue the two horns together, how come each piece has two slits?
Thank you!
Hi Celina,
Yes we glued the two horns together so that we had gold showing on each side 🙂

i’m a little confused… and i might just be trying to hard to figure it out. 🙂
when you give the dimensions (for example, ‘E’), does that mean for each piece or for the entire image? i’m using a silhouette so i’m just using the trace feature on the pictures you’ve provided but i wasn’t sure if each piece needed to be sized individually.
thanks!!
Hi Megan, I’m so sorry for the delay in getting back to you, yes the dimensions are there for each piece, so every individual section will need to be sized as stated 🙂
Best wishes

Hi Jessica- I absolutely LOVE this unicorn! IMO it is way cuter than the unicorn in Cricut Design Space. But, I am having trouble. I have downloaded each image, and am trying to re-size them according to your directions, but like meganmariebrown, I am having trouble. If I use the same letter she did, ‘E’, am I supposed to make that entire image titled ‘E’ to be a total of 5.3? x 3.6″? Or do I need to somehow separate image ‘E’ into three separate images and size each piece to 5.3″ x 3.6″? That doesn’t seem right, as it seems like those three pieces are supposed to be different sizes. I’m also very confused with Piece ‘I’- the horn pieces. .7″ x .03″ makes the pieces so tiny I can’t imagine that they’d possibly work with the horn? Please help, as I am DYING to make this for my daughter’s room! Thank you SO much!!!
I’m having trouble with the horn. Why does it have two slits if you just use one? I’m confused. Love your site!!
