Unicorns

More adventures in papier mache! Allison had been reading the series The Unicorns of Balinor (actually, I'd been reading it to her), the star of which was a purple unicorn with a silver horn and mane, so of course that's what she had to be. And as always Karen had to follow suit and be a unicorn too. The papier mache heads were again a pain to make, but everything else was easy. The horns and ears are made of paper and attached to the heads, and everything was painted. I bought silver and gold fabric for the manes and Karen's tail, and cut it into ribbons. The tails were made with painted toilet paper rolls and yarn (in Allison's case) or strips of gold fabric (in Karen's case), and tied around the waist with yarn. It all came out very well, I thought!
