How to Make A Unicorn Wreath

When creating a unicorn wreath, you need a base wreath and then simply add ears and a horn.

I swear, ears and a horn will pretty much work to turn anything “unicorn” themed.

You can do this with crafts, treats, heck even hoodies. 

But today, we are taking a paper flower wreath into a unicorn wreath. (Using the same concept!)

So let’s get to it!

Step 1: Cut out Your Basic Flowers and Unicorn Parts

Grab your supplies. For this wreath, we used cream-colored craft paper for the flowers, as well as red, orange and pink flowers. 

Using your printable unicorn wreath template, trace the spiral patterns on to your craft papers. 

Using the same template, trace out your ear parts (Both outer ears and inner ears) and unicorn horn onto sturdier cardstock paper. 

Cut out your patterns.

Step 2: Start making your paper flowers

Grab one of your spiral cutouts. Roll the spiral starting from the outer end. Roll it towards the center of the spiral creating a paper flower. 

Glue the flower on the center part to secure it. Then roll the rest of your spiral cutouts to make lots of rolled paper flowers to fill in your wreath.

You’ll need enough of the cream colored (white would look great too!) flowers to cover about three-fourths of your wreath base. 

Step 3: Make the Flowers for Your Unicorn Crown

Now grab your colorful spiral cutouts and roll them into paper flowers.

These will fill in the rest of your wreath base and make a pretty floral crown for your unicorn wreath. 

Step 4: Create a Wreath Base

Create a cardboard wreath base to place your paper flowers on. You can cut one out of cardboard or craft foam, or buy a small wreath base from the craft store. 

Step 5: Start Gluing your Paper Flowers

Now you can start gluing down your paper flowers onto your wreath base. Try nestling your flowers into each other for a more natural look.

Step 6: Fill in Your Unicorn Wreath with Your White Flowers First

Fill in your wreath with your white flowers first. You should fill about 3/4 of it with this base color. 

Step 7: Glue on Your Crown

Now you can fill in the rest of your wreath with the colored paper flowers, forming your unicorns floral crown. 

Step 8: Assemble your Unicorn Ears

Now grab your unicorn ear parts. Glue your smaller, inner ear parts into the center of your outer ear parts.

Step 9: Attach the Unicorn Pieces to Your Paper Flower Wreath

Now attach your ears and your unicorn horn to the back side of your wreath base. Ideally centered behind your colored flower crown. 

Now you are all finished! Allow enough time for your glue to dry while you admire your beautiful unicorn wreath!
