Unicorn & Baby Pattern - Incipient Madness
These magical unicorns have clothes pin legs, just like the Burro family!
These are made with woven wool, but could be made vintage wool suits or blankets. They can also be made with buckskin or ultrasuede. Their manes are made of wool locks that are loosely felted into place.

Horns
Amy uses a shell - big unicorn about 1 1/2”, small unicorn about 1”. You could also use a thin wooden dowel for the horn. Cut to length and whittle/sand a rounded point on one end. Or make a horn from polymer clay (ie Fimo, Sculpty, etc.) according to clay directions.
Optional - acrylic paint and fine glitter for hooves and horn embellishment
