How to Make Your Own Unicorn Invitations

Create your own unicorn invitations for a party or event. The invitations can communicate whimsy and fantasy. By using a premade stencil, you can cut out paper in the shape of a unicorn. The front of the invitations are easily decorated when you have an outline that you can color in.

Things You'll Need

• White card stock
• Pastel glitter or glitter glue
• White glue
• Metallic-colored pencils
• Metallic yarn
• Sequins and rhinestones

Instructions

1. Print out a unicorn stencil or graphic from the Spraypaint Stencils or Lucy Learns websites (see Resources). Use card stock to give the stencil some weight. Use black ink.

2. 

   Cut out the stencil to make an invitation in the shape of a unicorn. Fold a piece of card stock in half. Tape the design onto the paper, with part of the design flush against the fold of the paper. The fold can be on the top or the left side, depending on how you want the invitation to open.

3. Cut the card using the unicorn outline as the guide. Leave the fold intact to create an invitation that will open and close.

4. 

   Color the invitation using metallic-colored pencils. Outline the shape and lines in the unicorn horn with glue and sprinkle glitter on the wet glue. Shake the excess glitter off. Add rhinestones or sequins to the unicorn. Glue metallic yarn or thread to the tail. Tiny strips of aluminum foil or metallic ribbon also make a good unicorn tail.

5. Write the party or event information inside the invitation. Include the date and time of the party. Remember to include the address and parking instructions.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not add too many three-dimensional embellishments if the card is going through the mail, unless you wrap it in tissue paper first.
