DIY Unicorn Hairbow Tutorial

Hello,

Today I created another unicorn themed item for Autumn’s birthday. DIY Unicorn Hairbows. She absolutely loves them. I can not wait for her to wear them to school on her birthday. They were super easy to make and a small amount of time. Best of all they can be made in so many different ways. After her birthday I think I will still be making a lot more. Watch the video below to see how I made them.

DIY: Unicorn Birthday Invitations!

DIY Unicorn Birthday Invitations

What you will need:

Cardstock
Ruler
Paper Trimmer
Stickers
Paint – I used pigment paint
Vinyl or stencil
Washi Tape
Pencil to trace
Markers

First things first, I cut the cardstock into 5×5 cm pieces. Of course, you can cut them into the sizes that fit your needs. Prior to cutting my cardstock, I created a design on my Silhouette Cameo for the unicorn face.

If you don’t have a
Silhouette Cameo cutter or equivalent you can probably just print the stencil from a piece of paper or actual stencil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once I did that I traced the face on the card stock using the stencil. Then I traced the ears and horn with a mechanical pencil (not that it makes a difference). After that, I placed the flower stickers right between the ears under the horn. I then colored the ears and horns and began putting the rest of the information like Autumn’s name, age and other important information on the invitations. As well as the washi tape.

I found the metallic washi tape online but you can purchase it anywhere. I thought the scalloped tape looked better on the side. While the patterned green tape looked better on the bottom. Now on to the next step.

The final step is placing the polka dots on the invitation with the paint. I like the mix of pink and aqua green colors. The final result is:

I think it turned out good. Next time I will not hand write the information. I will more than likely use my printer or the pens that came with my Silhouette Cameo. I see a few flaws but, Autumn loved them and couldn’t wait to pass them out to her friends. To me, her happiness is all that matters.
