I am loving the love for unicorns right now. They are such fascinating creatures, boys and girls (adults included) alike are swept away with their magic. And if you have some cardboard boxes lying around you can have your very own mystical unicorn. This DIY is the perfect project to do with the kids. All you need to do is print out the template, cut is out, (add a little glue) attach it to an intact box. And let the kids paint and decorate it however they like.
This fun DIY unicorn costume is great for Halloween or even a Unicorn party. Download the template and make it out of some old boxes, the kids will love it and everyone will think you are amazing.
