To start us off we are going to show how to make some Mickey shaped ornaments. We found this craft on dolledupdesign.net (click here).
The supplies you will need are...
plastic Christmas balls (1 large and 2 small - for the head and ears)
a sharp knife and cutting board
permanent marker
hot glue gun
bows (if making Minnie bows)
The steps are as follows...
Using a sharp knife, begin by cutting the ornament hanging ends off each of the smaller "ear" balls.
Use the permanent marker, mark out two small spots equal distance from the hanging loop at the top of the large "head" ball. Most balls will have a seam around the ball to provide an easy way to make sure the locations are in line with one another.
Run a bead of hot glue around where you trimmed off the pieces on the "ears". Stick them onto the "head" where you makrd out the spots with the marker and hold until the glue has adhered.
If making a Minnie ornament, hot glue a small bow between the ears.
Hang and enjoy!
Next what house is complete without a holiday wreath? And what holiday wreath is complete if it isn't themed to Disney? This next craft will have you making a festive ornament baubble Mickey wreath. Though the following website is for just a regular wreath you can do this process 3 times and make a Mickey head. The Homes I Have Made website has a great step by step process for that. For more information (click here).
The supplies you will need are...
1 large and 2 smaller wire wreath forms (available a craft stores like Michaels)
floral wire
wire cutters
shatterproof ornaments in a variety of colours
garland
hot glue gun (if needed)
The steps are as follows...
Attatch the 2 smaller wreath forms to the larger one using the floral wire to attach them in multiple locations.
Take a group of 3 ornaments and sting them together with an 8-10 inch piece of floral wire. Twist them together fairly tightly. If the ornaments pop off the hanging loop use your hot glue gun to adhear them back together.
Secure the cluster to the wreath form and wrap the wires around the back and twist them together tightly. Next use the wire cutters to cut the excess wire off.
Repeat the process of steps 2 and 3 all the way around the wreath covering the ears and head.
Fill in the gaps between the clusters with a single ornament. Just like in step 2 take a piece of wire and instead of putting it through 3 ornaments this time just put it through one. Then take that single ornament and secure it to the wreath from like in step 4.
Finally we need to add the garland. Simply thread it through, under, around, and over the ornaments…wherever there are gaps or wire frame showing. Just make sure to tuck the ends of the garland through to the back and glue them to the wire frame.
Show off your amazing DIY Mickey wreath to the world by hanging it on your door for all to enjoy!
