How to Make Unicorn Party Bags
Step 1 – Draw the unicorn face
Start by drawing a unicorn face on the front of the bag. Use a combination of the black and brown marker for this step. Don’t forget the freckles!
Step 2 – Upload file to Cricut Design Space
Take the file that you received and upload it into Cricut Design Space. If you have any questions or need a refresher on uploading, check out this post that even has a video for you to follow along!
Note: If you don’t have a Cricut, you can use the emailed template to trace the shapes onto your paper and then cut them by hand.
Step 3 – Ungroup and adjust sizing
Once the file is on your Design Space canvas, you can ungroup it and adjust the size of the pieces depending on the size of your paper bags.
Step 4 – Send the project to cut
When you are ready, you can send the project to cut by clicking Make. If you are making multiple bags, you can adjust the number of project copies on this screen. (I changed mine to 6 in the image below.)
Once cut, each flower should be a different color. You can match the outer ear color to your bag but the inner ear should be pink. The horn goes on gold glossy, glitter, or shimmer paper. Pro Tip: This project is a great way to use up pieces of scrap cardstock!
Step 5 – Roll flowers and glue ears
Create rolled flowers with the spiral patterns. Start rolling at the outer edge and end with the middle section being on the bottom of the flower. Secure the flower with some glue. You can also glue the inner ear portions to the outer ear portions during the step.
Fold the ears as shown below and secure with a bit of glue.
Step 6 – Decorate the bags
Start by gluing the horn to the top of the bag as shown below.
Then add the ears to the inside of the bag as shown.
Use additional glue to secure the flowers into place across the front of the horn.
Allow your unicorn party bags to dry completely before adding in party favors or a gift. Make these in as many colors as you would like. There is nothing better than a unicorn party!
