Party Food – Unicorn Pudding Cups

Nothing I like better than stumbling upon a unicorn craft with a very affordable supplies list! You can pick up all the supplies (listed below) for these beyond fabulous Unicorn Pudding Cups at your local Dollar Tree! That’s right, everything on this list can be purchased for a dollar a piece! Perfect for birthdays, holidays or just a rainy day craft to keep the kids occupied! Who doesn’t love unicorns? Perfect addition to a Unicorn Party.

Supplies

•Pudding Cups

•Black Sharpie

•Package of Paper Flowers (you can use any flowers you choose. We went with paper since this is a Dollar Tree craft)

•Rhinestones

•Metallic Birthday Hats

•Scissors

•Glue

Step by Step

1. Take your metallic birthday hats out of the packaging. Then carefully cut the hats in half. You can use any color metallic birthday hats you choose to create your metallic unicorn horns, but we decided to stick with traditional gold and silver.
2. Take your metallic birthday hats and wrap around your pinky really tight to create a unicorn horn. When you get your hat to resemble a thin unicorn horn, glue the edge together with your glue.
3. Once your unicorn horns have dried, glue your horn on the bottom of your pudding cup. Then stick/glue your flowers onto the pudding cup.
4. After your unicorn horn and flowers have dried, draw your unicorn eyes and eyelashes on your pudding cup. I suggest practising on a blank piece of paper to perfect your technique before drawing on the actual Unicorn Pudding Cups since Sharpies are permanent. You only get one shot!
5. Next, glue the rhinestones onto the edge of your Unicorn Pudding Cups to glam your pudding cups up!

Your Unicorn Pudding Cups are now complete! Be ready to wow anyone you serve! No one would ever expect something so fabulous to come from the Dollar Tree!

Knitwear designers can get inspiration from almost anything when it comes to re-creating a color scheme, an image or a texture in stitches. Sometimes the inspiration isn’t always obvious in the finished project, but sometimes it’s more literal.

That’s the way it is with the Tin Ceiling Blanket from Purl Soho. Not just because the inspiration is in the name, but if you’ve ever seen one of these old ceilings you can see that the design of the blanket is quite similar to the pattern of the tin tiles.

This is also a good example of the idea that you don’t have to use fancy stitch patterns or lots of color to make a big impact with your knits. This single-color blanket (designed by Gianna Mueller and inspired by a washcloth and towel set designed by Sandi Rosner) is made completely with knits and purls, other than slipped stitches at the beginning of rows to make neater edges.

The pattern is written out row by row, but there’s also a chart, which means this project is a great opportunity to practice reading a chart where you can check your work against the written pattern if you need to.

It comes in two sizes, a crib blanket and a throw. The yarn used in the sample is an organic cotton sold by the cone, which is a great way to get a large quantity of yarn and have fewer ends to weave in. In fact, you can knit either size of the blanket with just one cone of yarn, which isn’t inexpensive but makes you a great, sturdy, heirloom quality but still washable blanket you’ll use for years to come. (Of course you can use any sport weight yarn you like to make this blanket.)
