Begin by removing the stem from your pumpkin. (If it's small enough that the horn can fit over it, you can leave it on.)Now paint your pumpkin white. We did two layers of primer and one layer of acrylic paint.You can also start with a white pumpkin so you don't have to paint it!
Step 2: Make horn
Cut a piece of glitter cardstock to the size horn you want. For our small pie pumpkins we cut the cardstock to 5 x 5 inches, which makes a 5 inch tall horn.Now cut on a curve from one corner to the next.
On the remaining corner (across from where you cut), snip off a tiny bit.
Roll your cardstock into a cone shape and add hot glue to the inside edge.
Press the cardstock together, and you now have a unicorn horn!
Step 3: Make ears
On a sheet of white craft foam draw two ear shapes with a flat bottom.Our unicorn pumpkin's ears are 2-1/4 inches tall and 1-1/4 inches wide, but you can adjust the measurements based on the size of your pumpkin.
Trace the white ears onto pink craft foam.
Now draw a full ear shape inside each of the shapes you just traced.
Cut out the pink inner ears and add tacky glue to the pink foam.
Press the pink inner ears onto the white ear shapes, lining them up on the bottom and centering them horizontally.
Step 4: Cut out eyes
Draw two closed eyelids with eyelashes onto a piece of black craft foam.
Cut out the eye shapes.
Step 5: Attach everything
Place hot glue on the bottom of the horn.
Attach the horn on top of where the pumpkin stem was.
Add a line of hot glue to the bottom of the foam ears.
Attach them to the top of the pumpkin, one on either side of the horn.
Now attach the eyes to the front of the pumpkin.Our black foam had a sticky backing, but you can also hot glue the eyes on if needed.
Add hot glue to the bottom of the paper flowers.
Arrange and attach the flowers in a crown shape around the horn.
Step 6: Paint rosy cheeks
Using the bottom of a paint bottle (or whatever circle size works for your pumpkin), trace a circle on each side in the cheek area.
Fill in the circle with a nice bubblegum pink colour.
Your unicorn pumpkin is complete!

Notes
Before attaching the first eye you should hold them both up together to find the best placement.
