Toddler Room Unicorn Makeover {One Room Challenge, Week 4}

We just got back from Austin (wedding, visiting my little bro and a trip to Magnolia Market!) so I didn’t get much done with my toddler room ORC this week, but I was able to start on the unicorn makeover for the reading corner.

To recap, this is what I’ve accomplished so far:

Week 1: The plan

Week 2: Painting

Week 3: Scallop border, starting closet organization and more decisions

I got this Pillowfort unicorm from Target (on sale!) and decided give it a Pinkalicious makeover because my daughter loves Goldilicious.

I got the supplies from Hobby Lobby. The flower garland was in the wedding section for 50 percent off, and I got the gold ribbon after Christmas for additional clearance.

I used a little hot glue to wrap the horn with gold ribbon.

Then I untied all the mane knots and hot glued the thicker gold ribbon.

Then I did some trimming to thin it out, and added some of the thinner ribbon.

And just like Pinkalicious did in the story, I added some flowers to the mane.

And then I tied the garland around her neck and wah-la!

Although for some reason it doesn’t seem quite finished…I may have to add something cream or gold to the flowers, but I’m going to wait until I finish the reading corner to make that call.

Just picture the gold “READ” letters and three rain gutters underneath. I bought the gutters and spray paint at Lowes today, so I’m ready to tackle that this weekend.
