Take a look at all our Mother's day craft ideas for lots of Mother's Day card and diy gift inspiration!
In the UK we have already had Mother's Day but I know it is coming up soon in other parts of the world so I wanted to share with you this adorable unicorn Mothers Day card. We have included a printable template to make it really easy for you to make this unicorn card.
It was made with Mother's Day in mind but we have included a version that has the saying 'Have a magical day' as well as one saying 'Mom, you are magical, have a happy Mother's Day' meaning that you can make this card for any occassion, maybe a birthday or just to make someone feel special.
This unicorn craft is a little bit fiddly as it involves lots of cutting out and pulling yarn through small holes so I would recommend it for school aged children. Having said that some unicorn loving preschoolers might enjoy making this with a little help.

Unicorn Card Craft
1. Print out the unicorn template and cut out all of the pieces. The link for the unicorn template is at the bottom of the page and it is free for you to download. I would recommend printing this template out onto card rather than paper.
2. Trace and cut the horn out of the gold glitter paper, the unicorn snout out of pink glitter paper, the outer ears out of purple glitter cardstock and the inner ears from gold glitter cardstock . Hole punch the nostrils. Of course you can mix up the colours a little, this is just a suggestion.
3. Glue the gold inner ear pieces to the center of the purple outer ear pieces and glue the glitter pink snout onto the bottom of the card-front.
4. Match the card-front with the card-back. There are 2 versions of the inside of that card so you can choose the message that best fits the occasion, but you will only need one of them. We have a mom version and a version that simply says 'You are magical'.
5. Hole punch the circle guides at the top of the card-front. Make sure you are hole punching both the card-front and card-back at the same time.
6. Cut the pink blue and white yarn into 12” pieces. The measurements do not need to be exact, this is just a guide. You will need 25 piece of yarn. Divide the yarn into groups of 5.
7. Fold over each yarn group and feed the looped end into the card hole. Put the yard ends into that loop. Pull to secure to card. Repeat with the remaining holes. Now your unicorn has a mane of hair!
7. Fold over each yarn group and feed the looped end into the card hole. Put the yard ends into that loop. Pull to secure to card. Repeat with the remaining holes. Now your unicorn has a mane of hair!
8. Glue the horn and ears slightly below the yarn, covering up the holes.
9. Your unicorn is now complete! Move the yarn around the horn and ears to style it. You could even use scissors to cut your unicorns mane until you have the perfect hair style!
Don't forget to sign your name inside your unicorn card. This adorable unicorn craft is now ready to give to mom for Mother's day.
