Felt option
It is believed that the miraculous properties of the mythological creature are so strong that they can exert their beneficial influence through a man-made image.
For example, residents of China still firmly believe that putting a simple toy in the shape of a unicorn in the bed of a cranky child can save him from problems with falling asleep and staying asleep. If a person has a kind of talisman with the image of a unicorn, then he is not afraid of either enemy tricks or any type of damage.
“The fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it...” In any case, the attractiveness of this fabulous creature encourages the child to engage in creative activities. Therefore, as a very convenient and cute option, you can consider making unicorn crafts from felt.
The topic is so popular in needlework that it will not be difficult to choose the most suitable option for yourself with diagrams, templates and patterns, and then make it for your child. Delight guaranteed.
Body
Make a unicorn body. To do this, cut out 9-10 white circles and fold them in half. Add glue to one half of the circle and place the second circle on top. Continue until you have glued all the semicircles.
Now cut a long piece of twine - measure it across the toy and head to make sure it's long enough. Add a lot of glue to the spine of the bauble as well as one side of the bauble. Glue the unicorn tail pieces onto the ball so that the tail points up. Thread the twine through the center of the ball.
