Equipment

Instructions

  • Grab a cereal box and the pink construction paper.

  • Starting at the back edge, wrap the construction paper around your box, using hot glue to secure it in place. Don't forget to cover the top and bottom of the box too.

  • Use an Exacto knife to cut a hole in the back for the valentine cards. You can use scissors too but I find that it's a lot easier to use an Exacto knife.

  • Draw the lashes with pencil, then color in with a black marker. If you're worried about messing up, you can also draw the eyelashes on black construction paper, cut them out, then glue them to the front of the box using a glue stick or glue gun.

  • Cut a half circle out of gold glitter cardstock. This one was approximately 10" in diameter.

  • Starting with one corner, roll the cardstock into a horn shape.

  • Secure with hot glue.
  • The bottom of your horn will be uneven so you'll need to grab your scissors to cut the excess so it will fit flush against the box.

  • Use hot glue to attach the unicorn horn to the top of the valentine box.

  • Cut two pink ears out of craft foam, then cut smaller white ones to fit on the inside of the ear.

  • Continue to glue hot flowers all along the top of the box and down the right side of the unicorn face. Once you've attached enough flowers, your valentine box is ready to show off!

Notes

If you are having trouble drawing the lashes, one trick is to Google unicorn eyelashes and find some you you like. Then print them, cut them out and glue them to the front of the box.
While I linked to flowers on Amazon, you'll find the best choices at any dollar store.
Your child can use different colors of paper to create a unicorn valentine boxes in any color they like. If you don't have construction paper, you can use anything from plain white paper to wrapping paper.
Don't forget to add your child's name to the box so everyone will know who it belongs too!
