We adore anything unicorns and came up with this easy DIY Unicorn Dreamcatcher inspired craft kids (and adults) can make by stringing yarn around an embroidery hoop (like our string yarn ornaments). Add a glittery horn, felt ears and glued on flowers and you have a beautiful handmade unicorn dreamcatcher. The yarn hangings are just simple loops and you can add lots of texture and variety by choosing various colors, ribbons and yarns.

If this DIY Unicorn Dreamcatcher makes you and your little one smile while making, then be sure to a look at my Cute Unicorn Crafts for Kids. You’ll see a world of endless possibilities that will make everyone filled with joy.

From Wikipedia: “In some Native American Cultures a dreamcatcher or dream catcher… is a handmade willow hoop, on which is woven a net or web.”

Our Unicorn Dreamcatcher is inspired by the many we’ve seen on Etsy. But as mentioned, we didn’t create the traditional webbed string and instead looped yarn around our hoop to keep it simple for kids to make. You can feel free to research the method online in how to make a traditional dreamcatcher webbed version. We chose to still call our craft a “dreamcatcher” because it is inspired by and resembles a traditional one. For our unicorn, we added a glitter paper horn, but you could get fancy and add a felt sewn and stuffed one.

These adorable Unicorn Dreamcatchers make a fun unicorn party craft or playdate activity. We plan on making lots of them at my daughter’s upcoming unicorn party paired with magical unicorn foods of course.

As you can see we made a variety to show how you can make different types, from pink, rainbow, and even a Valentine heart themed one!

She helped in making the ones you see here. The “rainbbow” one is her design!
