Cardboard Safari Unicorn Trophy

I wanted to add red streamers
from the neck, and reenact 
the Goose Girl fairy tale, 
but my flatmates overruled me.

And yes, the horn is bent.
I was careless. I mean, uh,
THE CATTHULU DID IT.
If you're looking for a fantasy/equine themed decoration, why not get a unicorn's head puzzle trophy for your wall?

This comes as a flat pack of cardboard bits which give you about a quarter an hour's worth of entertainment putting it together. It is cardboard, but it's pretty sturdy as long as you're careful. It's shiny, so I'm not sure if it would hold paint well or not, but the product listings all suggest painting it.

Painting it to look like a My Little Pony character, for example... (The horn is optional, and there's a hornless center piece for making a normal horse head, so you can make any character you like; and maybe cut out some wings to stick up each side for Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash).

The mane is just paper strips, so could always be painted in a rainbow! Oh, and bonus - it's all recycled!

There's a tiny five inch version, as well as the larger ten inch version (prices: about $7 and $30, respectively) and a harder to find 20" version. The micro version is probably better suited to a desk.


Bonus: if you hang on to the backing for all the pieces and instructions you can make your own unicorns by using them as a template!

Until people notice it.
