End of summer, beginning of school... What does that call for? Unicorns, obviously. So here's a quick guide to making the first day of school special with a cardboard magical creature full of surprises (and chocolate, because chocolate is magical).

You will need:

1. Cardboard (about 3 big sheets, I used 2 white and 1 glittery green, plus some glitter wrapping paper for lack of double-sided glitter cardboard);
2. Glue ( I used a heavy duty glue+ hot glue and some tape at times);
3. A marker to paint the eyes;
4. Scrap paper for drawing your template (sorry, I was in a bit of rush an didn't create a printable);
5. Scissors, exacto knife, a pencil... and some patience (which I happen to lack).

I started with drawing the head an maine. Remember my zebra? That experience surely helped, but my main inspiration came from Zygote Brown Designs and her awesome cardboard costumes. 
​Back to work, I cut two horse head outlines out f my white cardboard.

And a small piece that will connect them together (similar to K's flamingo)

I cut the parts for the forelock from the white cardboard and covered them on both sides with glitter paper. I attached one pink piece on each side and one golden in the middle as shown below.

Then I cut the mane and also covered in glitter. For this part, I cut the attachment piece in two, so I could glue the pieces of the mane in different layers.

Once you have all the mane pieces attached, unstick your fingers and glue the other horse head outline on top. I left the attachment piece in the back so I could use it later to fix to the base.

Here is how to make the ears.

And the main part: the actual cone and lid. I used the glitter paper for the front, cause when little hands carry it they won't leave fingerprints on the white part. I would have probably used glitter paper throughout, but the shop I got it from was out.

And, of course, don't forget the horn - after I attached the head to the base with little strips of paper and glue, I suddenly realized I'd forgotten the horn. No worries - there is always hot glue to the rescue. Ta-daa! Glitter horn glued on the head.
Picture
I drew some eyes with glitter marker (yes, they have those in black) and K now has a magical school cone. I hope she gets some magical school moments too. :)

Happy crafting!
