1) Give your uniegg a fluffy unicorn coat!
It’s so cute: the decorative egg is flocked with a soft, glittery unicorn coat! So your uniegg won’t freeze, first cover the egg with the Grass Glue. Then fill the Puffer Bottle with the white fluffy flakes and put the grey sieve back in. Shake the bottle vigorously to charge the fluffy flakes electrostatically (they rub against the plastic inner wall of the bottle when shaken and thereby become charged like your hair when you pull a jumper over your head). Something that is rather annoying in real life because it ruins your hairstyle, now ensures that the uniegg’s hair stands on end! Blow the little white fibres into the glue by pressing the bottle and leave everything to dry for 2-3 hours. The best thing to do is spear the egg on a small wooden pick (e.g. kebab skewer) and put it in a glass until the glue is dry. Only then should you stroke it, because if you touch the unicorn’s coat before, while the glue is still wet, you’ll press it flat, and it won’t be so fluffy. So, be patient – it’s worth it!

2) Eggy’s golden magic horn!
Like every proper unicorn, the fantastic uniegg Eggy has a glittery magic horn on its head! We make this out of a small piece of gold glitter paper. To do this, cut out a small square with a side length of 3-4 cm, depending on how long the horn should be. Roll up the paper so that it has a tip at the front and the horn is thicker at the back. Using scissors, cut off the small tip that is created at the thicker end of the horn and affix the rolled-up paper with a drop of hot glue. Now stick the horn on uniegg Eggy’s forehead!

3) Eggy’s pink woolly mane!
A unicorn mane shouldn’t be missing, either! For this, we grab some pink wool. When you have the wool, simply pull the individual threads apart. One of them will serve as a ‘spine’ to which we tie a few unicorn hairs to the left and right. To do this, we make a little loop and wrap this in turn around the main thread. Bit by bit, this creates a hot pink mane for the fantastic uniegg! Once you’ve glued the mane onto the egg, the uniegg looks a bit like Bob Marley with dreadlocks – just in pink :) To make the uniegg presentable, it’s now time to head to the unicorn hairdresser’s: just quickly cut the mane into shape with scissors!

4) Make-up and ears on!
So that Eggy can see and smile sweetly, grab a paint marker pen (e.g. from Edding®). We’re now going to give the unicorn’s face a bit of ‘make-up’ in the form of batting eyelashes and a sweet smile. And since the uniegg would like to hear fairy music in the magic forest, it needs ears! These are made from silver glitter paper by cutting out two almond-shaped ears measuring approximately 2 cm long with scissors and bending them in the middle. The shapely unicorn ears now come up next to the horn and are glued in place with hot glue!
Your crafted results
The fantastic uniegg is done! Now it can live in your home as an Easter decoration or gallop through the fairy forest! On rainbows, fairy dust, and with mood music :)
