Sew the horn, ears and curls to the head. Place the ice-cream detail on the unicorn's back and sew the cherry as desired.
Finishing tips
- Stuff parts firmly but evenly for a neat shape.
- Weave in ends and secure sewn seams for durability.
- Adjust color placement for the mane and horn to personalize your unicorn.
