So I'm jumping upon the back of the beautiful unicorn bandwagon! (Neigh! Neigh!) Here's my take on an easy unicorn craft.... here's a simply adorable origami unicorn that you can make with all your unicorn-loving kids too!

Materials Needed to Fold Unicorn Origami Heads:
- Origami Paper
- Scissors
- Sharpies (I like these more than normal markers because they don't smear on origami paper)
- Crayons (Optional for cheeks)
Let's Fold Some Origami Unicorns!
Step 1: Take a normal sized piece of paper and cut it into 4 equal squares. (I just think unicorn heads look cuter smaller.) You can do this by folding the paper in half and then in half again. Then, cut along those lines. So the paper that I'm using from now on is a fourth of the size of normal paper.
Step 2: Fold your paper along the diagonals + then open it up
Step 3: Fold down one tip till it touches a crease
Step 4: Fold one side over like so.
Step 5: Fold the other side over like so. (Do you see the triangle? That's the beginning of a glorious horn!)
Step 6: Fold out both sides.
Step 7: Unfold the crease made in step 3. It should now look like this: (You've now got the ears!)
Step 8: Fold your tip down to the crease made in step 3. (Now we have the bottom of the unicorn's face.)
Step 9: Fold up the bottom triangle like so
Step 10: Now fold the triangle back down like this- (The horn is now complete)
Step 11: Fold both side corners down like this- (We're going make the horse's face narrower)
Flip it over.
And this is what it looks like from the front! (Don't forget to use markers and crayons to add magical unicorn details...)
All done!
And now that we're finished, I just realized that I've made a lot of cute magical creatures from paper... so I've included those links down below.
