How Old Is Beast From Beauty and the Beast?
One question, I've always wondered about the Beast from Disney's movie is how old is the beast? Well, here is the answer.
The Beast was cursed when he was around 10-11 years old. As the curse on the beast and the petals on the rose had almost fallen off after ten years we can assume the Beast is around 21 years old when Belle helps to remove the curse.
What Is The Beasts Name?
Well, recently my daughter asked me what is the Beasts name from Beauty and the beast? I had to do some research as I didn't know the answer. In fact it turns out that the Beast does not have a common everyday name.
Although there had been rumours going around that the Beast was called Adam, this is not the case. In the original book and in the Beauty and the Beast movie, the Beast is always referred to as Beast, The Beast or Master. He does not have any other name. Now that is an interesting fact!
🎨 Supplies Needed
🖌️ How To Make A Disney Beast Ornament
- Step 1: Download and print out the Beast Mickey head ornament templates. Pay close attention to the colors the PDF instructs you to print each page on.
- Step 2: Start assembling Beast by gluing the ears behind the ornament and then glue the clothes onto the front. Glue on the details and the Beast horns.
- Step 3: Carefully add white glue to the areas you’d like to glitter. Add glitter and shake off excess. If glitter is not your thing, you can absolutely leave this part out of the process.
- Step 4: Cut a small bit of ribbon, thread or twine and loop it. Glue this behind the Beast ornament. If you’d like to cover the glued ribbon, simply add a circle the same colour as Beast. Your ornament is done and ready for your Christmas tree!

🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Seam Concealment: Hide glue seams by overlapping decorative layers slightly—this prevents unsightly gaps and maintains a seamless look under twinkling tree lights.
- Reflective Placement: Position metallic or glossy accents on raised areas so they catch and reflect light, adding subtle sparkle and visual depth to the ornament.
- Edge Smoothness: Gently sand or round off sharp corners before painting to ensure light glides evenly across surfaces and reduces harsh shadows.
- Layer Adhesion: Press each decorative layer firmly into place and let it set under slight weight—this boosts bond strength and prevents lifting when the ornament hangs.
- Light Diffusion: Use semi-translucent paints or thin glitter coats on select sections to diffuse holiday light softly, creating a warm glow around the Beast’s silhouette.
- Hook Alignment: Attach the hanging loop exactly at the central top of the ears so the ornament hangs flush, avoiding any tilt that would distort light reflections.
💭 FAQs
Lightly sand or buff the foam before painting. This creates tiny grooves that help primer and paint adhere more evenly and resist chipping.
Brush on a thin layer of clear-drying glue, then sprinkle fine glitter over it. Shake off excess before it dries for a neat, shimmer-controlled finish.
Punch a small hole in one ear and thread ribbon through it. Write a name or message on the back with metallic pen for a festive personal touch.
Glue a small magnetic strip or lightweight hook to the back. That way it hangs straight on metal surfaces or tucks snugly into tree branches.
