🎨 Supplies Needed
🖌️ How to Make This Elf Mickey Christmas Ornament
- Step 1: Download the free printable pdf elf template. Print each page on the correct color of card stock, which is listed at the top of each page. Red or green can be used interchangeably, so that you can mix up the elf clothing. You’ll have extra pieces, so you can use them to make more than one.
- Step 2: For each elf Mickey head ornament, cut out 2 small round black ears and one of each of the other pieces. Glue the ears behind the head and the other pieces to the front with the glue stick.
- Step 3: Use white glue to add iridescent glitter to the belt, buckle and buttons.
- Step 4: Make a hanger by looping a piece of twine and gluing it to the back of the ornaments. Let the Disney inspired ornament dry, so that you can hang it up on display.
💡 Pro Tip: Add a small loop of ribbon at the top of the ornament to facilitate easy hanging on the Christmas tree or other display areas.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Layer Sequencing: Assemble the hat, ears, and facial features in a specific order to create a sense of depth, enhancing the three-dimensional effect of the ornament.
- Color Harmony: Select complementary shades for the elf attire and accessories to ensure a cohesive and visually appealing design.
- Texture Variation: Incorporate different materials, such as felt for the hat and glitter paper for the belt, to add tactile interest and richness to the craft.
- Edge Definition: Outline each component with a fine-tip marker to delineate shapes clearly, making each element stand out distinctly.
- Proportional Balance: Maintain consistent sizing among the elements to preserve the iconic Mickey silhouette and prevent any part from appearing disproportionate.
- Attachment Security: Use strong adhesive for heavier materials to ensure all parts remain firmly in place, especially if the ornament will be handled frequently.
