3d Paper Unicorn Bow

This bow is perfect for gift wrapping, cutting with felt for a hairbow, or even for the front of a card! The bow can be sized to fit your needs and is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats! See my blog for a photo tutorial!  As sized, this bow is approximately 5" wide. 

Here is the tutorial:

1. Cut out your pieces.
2. Adhere the inside ears and the color of the horn in place (leave the bottom base unglued for now). Adhere each bow piece to the back, forming the bow loop.
3. Using a foam adhesive, adhere the center of the bow to the tails piece.

4. Grab your center piece, string through your bottom horn piece.

5. Wrap around the center of the bow then adhere in place.  Adhere horn piece down fully now.

6. Adhere the eyelashes in place.

7. Next, form your flowers.  Use a small skewer (or pencil tip) to curl the petals in then really squish the center, pinching it to hold it in place.  

8. Adhere the small center in the other small flower form.  Squeeze the pieces together to form a shape similar to this.

9. Adhere the flower form inside the largest flower piece. Again, squish together to get the desired shape.

10. Using a foam adhesive, adhere the flower to the center of the bow/horn as shown.

11-12. Repeat for the remaining flowers.
