How to Make these darling Unicorn Bookmarks

Step ONE:

Select different colored crafts papers. Also select cardstock paper for the base of the bookmark.

Prepare the patterns from the provided FREE Unicorn Bookmark Template by printing and cutting them out.

Trace the base pattern on the cardstock paper. Trace the rest of the patterns on the selected colored crafts papers. Next cuut out the traced patterns nicely. 

Step TWO:

Take the head cut out and attach the 2 hoof cut outs on the bottom side it by overlapping about a cm along the straight ends of all 3 patterns. The curved ends of the hoof cut outs should be pointing outside of the head pattern.

Step THREE:

Grab the ear and horn cut outs. Attach them along the top end of the bookmark base. As you see, the ear has 2 parts, inner and outer. Stick the inner parts inside the outer parts so that the pink is on the inside.

Step FOUR:

Now attach the head and hoof joint part on the bookmark base by matching the top ends of both pieces (head and bookmark base) so that the bookmark base is behind and the hooves hang over so they can “hug” the pages of a book.

Step FIVE:

Grab the other cut out patterns and prepare the flowers by joining the round cut outs. Glue the small round cut outs on the large ones to make the flowers.

Step SIX:

Glue the flowers and the leaves on the top side of the bookmark. Arrange and glue the flowers nicely. Also attach the oval shaped cut out on the bottom side of the head part, this will be the front side of the unicorn head.

Step SEVEN:

Use a fine point marker (I prefer black sharpies) to draw the eyes, nose and lip of the unicorn. As you see your unicorn bookmark come to life, doesn’t it just make you smile? 

Aren’t these the cutest diy unicorn bookmarks ever!? So much fun and there are so many different ways you can share these with friends and I love that you can even tuck these into a card to send across the miles! 

Plus I love that they will always have a little unicorn to hug their books and save their place. It’s uni-perfect because who doesn’t love a little unicorn hug!?
