Party Food – Unicorn Pudding Cups

by

 

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!

Christmas Ornament Cross Stitch Patterns

The other day I shared some cross stitch patterns with ornaments on them, so this time around I wanted to share cross stitch patterns that you can use as ornaments. It would be fun to do a whole tree in your craft room with cross stitch ornaments, or just add a few to your tree or give them as gifts.

These little quilt inspired cross stitch patterns from Flamingo Toes look like ornaments and fit in 3-inch hoops, which are perfect for hanging on the tree or using to decorate a gift. I love the pastel colors on these but you can use more traditional Christmas colors if you like.

This cute Christmas tree from Lagodargetoshop uses a single color and fits in a 4-inch hoop, but you could make it smaller if you wanted by trimming the last ornaments and gifts from the sides, or just stitch the tree without any other embellishments. Either way it’s a cute addition to your holiday tree.

Stitched Modern has a super cute collection of retro Christmas ornament cross stitch patterns from designer Gera. This is a printed pattern that will be shipped to you. Each pattern is about 40 by 56 stitches, or 2.9 by 4 inches/7.4 by 10 cm on 14 count fabric. To work the whole set you’ll need 20 colors of floss.

These snowflake ornaments from Our Little Handmade Home are each about 2.5 inches/6.4 cm when stitched on 14 count fabric, and they use a single color of floss. They are pretty in red but you could also do white on a blue or black background, or whatever suits your other Christmas tree decorations!

From the description it sounds like this set of vintage style cross stitch characters is presented as one large chart, but the photo from Sampler Antique Stitch shows each of them stitched up as their own little ornament, so it gets included here. You’ll find Santa and snowmen in different poses in this cute collection.
