  2. Trace onto Felt: Place the template onto the felt and trace around it with a marker. You will need to cut out two pieces for the front and back of the charm.

  3. Cut Out the Felt Pieces: Carefully cut around the traced outline of the unicorn, ensuring that your edges are smooth and clean.

  4. Decorate the Unicorn: Before assembling, add any decorative details to one side of your unicorn piece. You can use fabric paint or markers for eyes and other features, or stick on beads for added texture.

  5. Assemble the Charm: Place the two unicorn pieces together, with the decorated side facing inwards. Secure the edges using needle and thread, or a hot glue gun for a quicker assembly.

  6. Attach the Keychain Ring: Once the unicorn pieces are securely together, make a small opening at the top and loop through the keychain ring.

  7. Final Touches: Feel free to add additional embellishments like sequins or glitter to enhance the charm’s visual appeal.
