Hi Creative friends, it's Natalie from Doodlecraft sharing a fun no carve pumpkin craft featuring everyone's favorite animal: unicorns!
I have two different ways you can make this easy unicorn craft for Halloween:
You can make a cute unicorn girl pumpkin or a cool unicorn boy pumpkin with sunglasses. Easy and adorable!
If you hate the mess of carving pumpkins, this is an especially wonderful solution to decorating pumpkins. No sharp tools or goopy mess required!
I made these with fresh white pumpkins but if you want them to last forever, you can buy convincing looking fake pumpkins online.

Directions
DIY Unicorn Pumpkin STEP 1: Make Unicorn Horns
Begin by making the horns.Roll out a piece of gold clay into a horn about 3 inches long and 3/4" wide at the base. It should end at a point.
Then insert a toothpick into the base of the horn, leaving about an inch and a half exposed outside of the base of the unicorn horn.
Bake in the oven according to the package directions for the clay you are using.
Let the horns cool completely.
DIY Unicorn Pumpkin STEP 2: Attach Unicorn Horns
If your pumpkins have stems, now is the time to remove them.
Insert the toothpick at the base of the unicorn horns into the pumpkins, right on top.
DIY Unicorn Pumpkin STEP 3: Decorate your unicorn
Now we'll use colored felt to customize each Unicorn.
You can freehand the way you cut out ears, flowers and other accessories.
Need some help? Wish you had a unicorn pattern? The pieces from the Unicorn Mason Jar Project could also be used on this pumpkin project!
You'll still have to freehand the shades for the unicorn wearing sunnies so that the size and shape of the sunglasses match the pumpkin you are using.
DIY Unicorn Pumpkin STEP 4: Glue the unicorn crowns together
After the felt has been customized, it is time to hot glue them directly onto the pumpkin.Begin with the pointy ears. Then add flowers and other accessories as desired.
DIY Unicorn Pumpkin STEP 5: Add sleepy unicorn eyes
Now add little eyes or a smile with a paintbrush and fine detail paintbrush.
Let the paint dry and enjoy!
Which do you like best? I love them both together, they look like they are getting married!
It's Magical!
Creating customized Unicorn pumpkins is so much fun--and no carving is required!
