Unicorn school gift bag

These instructions will show you how you can easily make a fantastic unicorn school gift bag. The start of school should be celebrated appropriately. With our free printable templates, you can easily make your own unicorn school gift bag. You're guaranteed to put a big smile on the new schoolchild's face.

This is how the unicorn school gift bag is created:

Firstly, print and cut out the templates.

Transfer the templates A to E to the photo cardboard and cut out the motifs.

The templates F to I are transferred to the "Crispy iridescent rainbow paper mix" and cut out.

Glue the individual parts together with handicraft glue. Then stick the horn (template D) alternately with coloured strips of the iridescent paper and cut it out again.

Then you can glue the mouth (template F), the ears (templates C+G) and the horn (template D) to the head (template A). Leave the glue to dry. Draw the eyes, nostrils and mouth on the face with a black marker.

Now make small flowers from the floral silk assortment. To do this, cut the silk paper into 10 x 10 cm pieces. Lay 5 - 6 pieces of paper on top of each other. Fold them together like an accordion. Knot a piece of warp yarn around the centre. Pull the folds of the papers slightly apart. Then start to carefully pull the top paper upwards. Repeat this with all the layers of paper. You now have a paper flower. You can create different sizes by shortening the paper with scissors after folding.

Use the hole punch to make two holes in the unicorn's forehead. Pull the threads of the flower through and knot them on the back. Repeat this with the other flowers so that it looks like the unicorn is wearing a wreath of flowers.

Take two pieces of straw floss and glue them together at the edges to make a longer piece. Glue the straw floss to the top edge of the school gift bag from the inside. Leave the glue to dry.

Fold the school cone blank at the folded points and pin it together with the flaps. Fix them with handicraft glue.

Glue the unicorn head to the school gift bag using handicraft glue. Label the "sign" (template E) and stick it onto the glittery sign border (template i). Glue the sign and the hooves to the school gift bag using handicraft glue.

Finally, fill the school gift bag with small gifts for your schoolchild. You can find inspiration for this here

Finally, tie the straw floss together with some satin ribbon so that the school gift bag is nicely closed.
