Have you snapped up unicorn hair, unicorn makeup, and unicorn T-shirts? If so, you’re going to love what I’ve got in store for you today … a video tutorial that shows you how you can make unicorn eggs for Easter!

So, about a year ago, I bought my first-ever wig, which has ombre shades of pink, blue and purple. It was sold online as a “unicorn wig.” Color me out-of-the-loop … I had no idea what made it a “unicorn” anything.

I’d actually purchased it 1-because I had finally accepted that dying my hair in pastels wasn’t a realistic goal, and 2-I wanted pastel hair to complement some of my outdated-but-fabulous Harajuku fashions.

Since then, of course, I’ve finally caught up with the fad. Unicorns, rainbows, and glitter are everywhere nowadays, and you know what? I love it! It’s become a lot easier to find accessories, makeup and so on that complements some of my clothes, even if those clothes went out of style in Japan some time ago. What used to be big in Japan now appears to be big in the West.

Anyway, naturally this year I had to make unicorn eggs for Easter. I mean, Easter and the unicorn trend were pretty much made for each other, am I right? Both share the same pastel color palette and the playful sense of cuteness and fun.

For this project, you will need eggs (of course), glitter, and cardstock or paper. I used white eggs and cardstock, but you can go with any appropriately pastel hue you want. You then will need some faux flowers to complement the eggs. Obviously, pastel colors are a good choice, but you don’t necessarily need to go with them. Bright colors can also work.

I used gold glitter to decorate the unicorn horns, but any color of glitter works great. Glitter by definition is always perfect for any unicorn craft. You literally can’t go wrong, so go wild.

Tools

• Black marker
• Hot glue and glue gun

Instructions

1. You will begin with a rectangular piece of cardstock or paper. If you use paper, it is best if it is thicker, sturdier paper. You could go with cardboard too, but only if it is the very thin type.
2. Rolling the piece of cardstock, create a cone shape. Take your time to create a nice, neat point. This will be the unicorn’s horn. Trim the bottom edge so that it is flat, and use hot glue to hold the cone together. Wait for that to dry before you continue.
3. Now it is time to decorate the horn and give it the right texture. To do this, you are going to use hot glue to draw a spiral around the horn from the top to the bottom. You will then sprinkle glitter over the glue before it dries so that it defines the spiral shape.To take a shortcut to doing this, I filled a small container with glitter and literally dipped the horn inside as I added each bit of glue. Either approach (the dipping or the sprinkling) can get the job done. Go slowly with the glue so that you get a nice, neat spiral and so that you do not end up with glitter stuck to the horn in odd places.
4. If you are making multiple unicorn eggs, I suggest batch-processing them. Instead of finishing your first egg before you start the next, do each step concurrently for all the eggs.So for example, you can fold all the cone shapes and trim them to start out, and then you can put the glue and glitter on each of them before you proceed to the next step.
5. Next, you can draw the eyes on your eggs.
6. Use hot glue to attach the horns to the top of the eggs.
7. Hot glue the faux flowers onto the eggs around the horns to create floral crowns.
8. You have no finished creating your beautiful, magical unicorn eggs!

It’s amazing how easy and fun it is to craft unicorn eggs, isn’t it? This is a great craft for all ages (just remember to supervise kids with the hot glue). Wherever you display these eggs, they will add some extra sparkle and fun to Easter this year.

Since I am writing about the unicorn trend today, I do want to take a moment to address a current issue involving this trend. While a lot of people love the unicorn trend, if you sport unicorn T-shirts or hair or accessories, you’ve probably encountered at least some of the backlash—folks who say that the unicorn trend infantilizes us, and that we need to “grow up.”

But you know what? The only people who are infantilizing anyone are those telling others how to look, what to love, and what to do. As an adult, being an adult means doing what you want, and letting others do the same.

These folks who let other people tell them what to do and think they can do the same to you are the ones who really need to grow up.

So be proud of your unicorn eggs and all your other unicorn fashions and items. All that matters in life is being yourself and letting your creativity soar.
