Unicorns have always been pretty special, I know. But I think now that I have a little girl, I’m seeing them in a whole new light. Having kids changes everything doesn’t it? I’ve even grown to like the color pink, though I promise you, these crafts don’t require any pink if you don’t want it!

These projects do require a little dose of magic, and I would say a love of rainbows and glitter can go a long way on these crafts. Whether you try the piñata or go for the full-on costume, you have lots of options. And the best part of making your own stuff: you can choose to ignore all the pink and glitter and rainbows and make them any old color or pattern that you want. Love that!

Animal busts are where it’s at, and this one doesn’t disappoint with all of that golden splendor! I love the different approach to the silhouette too, flat and boxy makes it feel more mod.
