Instructions

Create three small mounds of white model magic. Put on your latex or rubber gloves and mix a different unicorn color in each mound. Roll out each color into 1/4″ x 12″ tubes.

To make the shorter horn: Twist around a ball point pen ink cartridge. you can remove the cartridge by pulling on the tip with pliers. Roll into the shape by applying more pressure to the pointed end gradually less pressure to the wider end. Let dry.

To make the longer horn:Lay side by side and flatten together. twist  flattened piece around an ink cartridge shaping into a horn shape by gradually pulling thinner as you twist.

Tip: If the dye gets on your hands, a vinegar and salt scrub will get a lot of it off but we suggest rubber gloves when using concentrated coloring.
