DIY Rainbow Unicorn Craft

DIY Rainbow Unicorn Craft

Craft Materials

Before starting this project, you’ll need the following materials:

Happy Tuesday everyone! Today I’m sharing a craft I made over at the Darice blog.  A rainbow inspired craft. But not just any rainbow inspired craft, a rainbow unicorn craft. I’ve been eyeing these wooden unicorns on the Darice site for awhile now. I knew they would make a cool kids craft. What kid doesn’t LOVE a unicorn craft right!?!

This project would be perfect to decorate for a unicorn or rainbow themed party as well!  You can even set up a kids craft table for anyone to make their very own unicorn to take home.

Let’s get started!

Rainbow Unicorn Supplies Needed:

  • Unfinished Wood Unicorn
  • Acrylic Paints
  • Glitter Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Unfinished Wood Hello
  • Pencil

DIY Rainbow Unicorn Craft

Step 1 – Paint Unicorn

Let’s pick out our paint colors! I went with a fun pastel rainbow color palette for this craft. Bright and cheerful is what this craft is all about!

Two coats of paint was all that is needed for each unicorn. Let each coat dry 5 minutes.

Step 2 – Add Glitter Paint

Now it’s time to add some sparkly glitter to the unicorn horns.

Just paint on your glitter and your set!  Depending on how much glitter you want, you will need to add more coats.  I did a total of three coats for these unicorns.

So SPARKLY!

Step 3 – Add Details

Now it’s time to finish up by adding the eyes and mouth! Use a pencil to draw out first.

Then go over with a thin paint brush and black paint.  Now we’re finished and these unicorns are looking AMAZING!

Step 4 – Paint Hello

I really wanted to add another fun element to this craft project and make something that would be cute to add in a room.

Paint the outside border of the Hello first. I went with purple for a nice surprise POP of color.

Then go over the front with your rainbow color palette.

I really think I need to work with this color palette again soon!  With three boys I don’t usually work on kids craft projects like this. I’m more of a dinosaur craft mama!

Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor a Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor accessories is... you guessed it, FOWERS! I have flowers all over my house, several in each room actually. I even switch them out for the seasons. One of my favorite places to find faux flower arrangements is @homegoods. They have the bet selection to choose from. 🌺🌻

One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is this light fixture I got at @worldmarket. I have been eyeing it for years, and knew when I finally decided to give my bedroom a makeover I had to have it! What a difference a light fixture can make in a room. I love just laying in bed and staring at it, kinda obsessed.

After being in our house for 7 years we finally de After being in our house for 7 years we finally decided in August to start our bedroom makeover. We've put this room off last and focused more on the other rooms in the house since we moved in. For our 20 year wedding anniversary, we decided it was time to give OUR bedroom a makeover now. I feel like it's been a long process, but I'm so happy with what's been done so far. It's so bright and airy in here now, a perfect way to relax and unwind for the day. We still need to shiplap the walls, but I wanted to share a sneak peek.
