First, use the paint brushes to paint the foam pumpkin with the white paint and let it dry for at least 24 hours.If you can find a pumpkin that is already perfectly white then you can skip this step.
Next, use the modeling clay to make the unicorn ears and horns. Set them aside to dry for 72 hours.
To make the horns, I rolled out two strips of clay, then braided them together to create a twisted horn effect. Then, I inserted a wood skewer stick into each horn right after I finished shaping them.
For the ears, I just modeled the clay with my hands until I made cute-looking unicorn ears.
After drying, paint the clay unicorn features whatever color you want. My daughter and I chose a metallic gold paint for the horn, and pink or gold for the ears. Let the paint dry completely.
Then, using the end of the horn skewer sticks, poke a hole and insert a unicorn horn into each pumpkin. Use a hot glue gun to firmly secure the unicorn horn and ears to each of the pumpkins.
Next, since the silk flowers have metal wires inside of them, you’ll have to cut the stem off using a pair of wire clippers.
After cutting the flowers, hot glue them onto the pumpkin in whatever kind of arrangement you want.
Finally, after everything is completely dry, it’s time to paint the face of your unicorn. Use a black sharpie, or black paint with a fine brush, to draw the unicorn eyelashes. If you use black paint for the facial details, this will take a bit more time to dry.
I also used pink paint to add blushing cheeks to ours, but you can add whatever features you desire!
