Heading to Target for new school supplies was one of my favorite times of year when I was younger.  I loved getting new notebooks and pens, and I always wanted the biggest box of crayons.  If you were a girl in middle school during the late 80's to early 90's, you know the brand Lisa Frank.  I had a Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper and folders.  I loved the rainbow and neon colors used in the images of polar bears, puppies and of course, unicorns.  The Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper is on Ebay and it's selling for $175.00.  Can you believe that?  If I knew it would be worth that much, I would have taken better care of it.

This image was the inspiration for these unicorns.  I used the full body unicorn cutter from this set.  First, I started by piping and flooding the unicorn white.  I left the horn and tail sections un-iced.  When the icing was completely dry, I used purple food coloring to paint around the outer edge of the unicorn.  I piped pink icing on the hooves and for the mouth.  I used all the brightly colored icing left over from yesterday's cookies and I used a leaf tip to pipe on the mane.  I added a small white highlight to each section of the mane I piped.  Next, I made the horn and tail rainbow striped.  I drew the outline of the eye and eyelashes with a purple food coloring marker, and added a touch of yellow, green, and purple icing to make the eye just like the inspiration.
