Unicorn Tree DIY

My niece had an idea for a Unicorn tree last year. When she had all the parts in her cart at Michaels she was stopped multiple times and asked what she planned to do with the materials.

Apparently, we are not alone in liking sparkle.

Unicorn Tree DIY Notes

• The materials necessary to make this easy Unicorn Tree DIY can be purchased at at JoAnn, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby

• We used a white Styrofoam cone for the tree and wrapped it with tulle for a different look. You could also use a green Styrofoam cone.

• We used holiday floral picks because they were cheaper, and lighter, than ornaments.

• The “ornaments” are whatever is pleasing to you. Do make certain to choose several large ones (we used large gingerbread men, unicorns, donuts, etc). The cone is large enough to accommodate the large donuts, gingerbread men, etc. If you decide to use a smaller cone, scale down the size of your picks.

• We used green tulle, but other color choices (especially for unicorn party decor) would be blue, pink, white, silver, gold, or purple. Use glittery tulle to add some sparkle!

• The blue topper was chosen to pick up the blue in the donuts, lollipops, and gingerbread men. If you chose different “ornaments” pick your topper colors to go with them!

• Hot glue was used. You could try goop, but you will have to use copious amounts and hold the glued materials in place until firm.

• Even though this is not really a floral design, it still needs to be spun around as it is a 360° decoration.

• This could be an excellent sugar plum tree if you take out the unicorns and add a few jack-in-the-boxes or possibly teddy bears.

Unicorn Tree DIY Materials:

• 1 Styrofoam Cone 6″ x 24″
• 1 Green Glitter Tulle (6″ x 8 yards)
• 7 Various Larger Floral Picks (used in this craft: 2 donuts, 2 gingerbreadmen, 2 lollipops, 3 unicorns)
• 1 Silver Leaf
• 2 Blue Curly-Qs
• 2 Pink Sequin Light Bulbs (floral picks, 3 bulbs per pick, so 6 total)
• 2 Pink Pom-Poms (floral Picks)
• 2 White Balls Picks
• 72 Jeweled Paper Flowers

Unicorn Tree DIY Tools:

• Wire Cutter
• Hot Glue
• Glue Gun
• Scissors

Unicorn Tree DIY Instructions:

1. Cover your work surface against glue, cuts, and spills catastrophes.
2. Remove the wrapper from Styrofoam cone.

3. Wrap the tree with the tulle. Make sure you hot glue at the top, bottom, and a couple of spots in between the wrap. Once finished, cut off from the roll.
4. Go back and fold down places where the tulle did not lay flat against the cone and tack them down with hot glue. If you have any imperfections, you can hide them with the “ornaments” and/or flowers.

5. Insert blue curly-qs at the top of the tree. Insert the silver leaves. You can add a few dabs of hot glue to make certain the stay fixed in place.

6. Remove the sticks from the gingerbread men, donuts, and unicorns. They will be glued flat to against the cone. If you are lucky you can wiggle the floral sticks out. For the lollipops, clip the stick down so it still looks like a lollipop, but these will also be hot glued flat to the cone.

7. Hot glue a gingerbread man to the bottom of the tree. Use a lot of hot glue as these objects have some weight to them.

8. Turn the tree, and on the opposite side of that glued gingerbread man, go a few inches higher and glue on the second gingerbread man.

9. In the empty space between the gingerbread man, hot glue a donut. Hold it in place until the hot glue dries. You want to hold these heavier pieces down until they are completely dry so they don’t fall off. The hot glue needs to seep through the tulle onto the cone beneath and form a good bond.
10. Now, on the other side, opposite and a little higher, hot glue the other donut. Try and stagger the pieces and not make them match, especially the donuts; you do not want this to look like a Princess Leia tree!

11. Spread out the remaining larger ornaments, the lollipops, unicorns, up the tree. Remember to use a lot of hot glue, and hold in place until dry.

12. Cut down the pink pom-poms until a small stub that can be inserted into the Styrofoam remains, and fill in more spaces. Insert the small remainder of the cut down stick into the Styrofoam tree, hot glue in place. Remember, if you do not like where you have inserted something, pull it out and reposition it before hot gluing in place.

13. Cut down the sequin light bulbs until a small stub that can be inserted into the Styrofoam remains, and fill in the spaces. Insert the small remainder of the cut down stick into the Styrofoam tree, hot glue in place. Note: when you insert the bulbs if you do not like how they stick out away from the tree, manipulate the bulb higher and hot glue the tip to the tree.

14. Cut down the white ball picks until a small stub that can be inserted into the Styrofoam remains, and fill in more spaces. Maneuver the bulbs so they are not sticking out too far. These are S-curved. Add a dab of hot glue to hold in place.
15. The flowers used to fill in the spaces have jewels in the middle so they need to be hot glued in place. If your flowers do not have a jewel, you could pin them in place. The flowers were placed so that there is a feeling of them being tossed over the tree, and they settled in place.

16. Double check that all hot glued pieces are firmly adhered.
17. Display as desired.

Are you, or your children, Harry Potter fans? These easy to make Hogwarts Mason Jar Lid Ornaments come together in about 10 minutes! These are perfect for your holiday tree, to give as a gift, or for a Harry Potter or Hogwarts themed party.

Hogwarts Mason Jar Lid Ornaments

My niece loves Harry Potter. She needed a raffle donation for a friend, and since the auction was geared toward children, she decided to make a Harry Potter-inspired tree. We made a few golden snitches, some Harry Potter ornaments, and these! We draped lights, got an owl (that Hedwig and the map are from when I visited Universal Studios), purchased some neckties in the Hogwart school colors, and then added a sorting hat as a tree topper.

Hogwarts Mason Jar Lid Ornaments Notes:

• All the materials necessary to make this easy Hogwarts Mason Jar Lid Ornaments can be purchased at at JoAnn, Michaels, or Hobby Lobby

• You can do this with either the ring facing in or out. On this Hogwarts craft we went with the ring facing inward so the crest is more obvious.

• These take about 5 minutes to make. Any extra time is dry-time.

• Make certain you purchase enough material to get as many cut-outs as you plan to ornaments using each crest when it is centered on the lid. There are a ton of Hogwarts branded fabrics available at Michaels and JoAnn so it is simply a matter of picking the material you like, checking the repeat, and determining how many ornaments you would like to make.

• Start with the house you like least as you will get better at this craft as you go along!

• We did not put a backing on these. If you want to do a backing, use glitter foam board cut in a circle.

• Match the tulle colors to the crest:
* Gryffindor – red and purple
* Hufflepuff – yellow and black
* Ravenclaw – blue and silver (technically bronze, but seeing bronze and blue is unusual)
* Slytherin – green and silver

Hogwarts Mason Jar Lid Ornaments Materials:

• 1/8″ yard Branded Hogwarts Material Hogwarts Crests were used to make this craft. Make certain you get enough material to cut out 8 crests.
• 8 Mason Jar Lids with insert and ring
• 4 Tulle Colors to match the house crest
• Mod Podge

Hogwarts Mason Jar Lid Ornaments Tools:

• Scissors
• Foam Brush
• Hot Glue
• Gluegun

1. Layout the fabric and line up the lids with the crest of the Hogwarts house.

2. Brush on some Mod Podge on the backside of a Mason jar lid.

3. Place the Mason jar lid on the fabric over the crest and press down.
4. Cut out the circular shape of the lid with the fabric attached.
5. Mod Podge the top of the fabric.

7. Cut off a length of tulle or ribbon long enough to make a hanger for your ornament. Place the cut tulle inside the ring. Pull tight.

8. Place some hot glue along the rim of the Mason jar ring, gluing down the tulle. You want the tulle in place because of how you need to place the crest.
9. Hot glue around the inner portion of the ring, over the tulle.

10. Insert the fabric colored lid making certain the top of the house crest is at the top of the ring with the tulle. This will be so when you hand the ornament, the house crest is straight. Press down to seal firmly.

11. Cover the top of the fabric with Mod Podge.

12. Allow to dry.
13. Display as desired.
