How to make a DIY Unicorn Ornament with a Mason Jar Ring

Making your own ornaments is always a fun Christmas activity and it’s even better if it’s a DIY unicorn ornament!

Christmas can be expensive and wasteful so we don’t want Christmas crafts to required us to purchase a lot of supplies or make a lot of waste. That’s why these unicorn ornaments are made using craft supplies you likely already have -- like a mason jar lid and scraps.

These unicorn ornaments are very simple to make and you can change them up in a lot of different ways to fit your own style.

These unicorn ornaments would also be a great craft to make at a Christmas party. Set out some different supplies and each person can make their own unique ornament. What a fun party favor!

Supplies

Some of the links below may be affiliate links where a purchase made after clicking will support this website without costing you extra!

• Metal Ring from Mason Jar Lid
• White and pink cardstock
• Gold glitter felt scrap (for best eco-friendly option add your own eco-friendly glitter to a scrap of felt or cardstock)
• Scrap yarn - white or variegated looks great!
• Glue that will stick to yarn like hot glue or Fast Grab glue 

Directions

DIY Unicorn Ornament Step 1:

Wrap your choice of yarn around the ring until it’s covered. When tying it off, tie a loop to hang your ornament with.

DIY Unicorn Ornament Step 2: 

Cut out cardstock or foam to make two ears and a unicorn horn.

I used white for the outside of the ears and pink for the inside. You could also use one piece for each ear and color the middle to look more like a unicorn ear.

DIY Unicorn Ornament Step 3: 

If using two pieces for each ear, glue them together.

Then glue your ears to the back of your mason jar ring and the horn on the front.

DIY Unicorn Ornament Step 4: 

To make the unicorn mane, take the yarn and form several loops that are the length you want the mane to be.

Tie them together at the top. Cut the loops so that you have several yarn strands making your mane.

DIY Unicorn Ornament Step 5: 

Using one of the strands of yarn, tie the mane to your ornament.

That's it!

That’s all! It’s a simple yet very cute ornament that kids will enjoy making. And you will love how affordable they are.
