How to Make Unicorn Lantern
Start by lining up four craft sticks to make a square frame.
Hot glue the sticks together.
Repeat this process to make four frames.
Note: You could use Elmer’s glue, but it takes much longer to dry and isn’t quite as sturdy.) An adult will need to use the hot glue gun, or assist older kids, but kids love getting to pick out the colors for each frame and helping to line them up.
Next, place the frames onto parchment paper, and trace them around them with a pencil.
Cut out each square with scissors, cutting on the inside of each line to make the square slightly smaller.
Using Elmer’s glue, attach each piece of parchment paper to the back of each frame.
Set aside the four squares to dry completely.
Line up twelve popsicle sticks in a row.
Place one popsicle stick across the top, and hot glue in place.
Place another stick at the bottom, and again hot glue in place.
Once craft glue has dried on each frame, begin decorating your parchment paper with the unicorn stickers and decorate your frame with the adhesive gemstones.
Hot glue the bottom of each frame onto the craft sticks.
Add a little glue between the frames holding them together as well as to the bottom.
Let dry all four sides dry and then it's ready to be used.
Place a battery-operated tealight candle inside, and enjoy your lantern.
