One of the greatest highlights of visiting Disneyland Paris was when my daughter got to meet the character Jessie from Toy Story. We had previously travelled on a cruise liner to Amsterdam and watched the movie Toy Story 3 while on board. So when my daughter had the chance to meet Jessie you can imagine she was super excited.
Today we have a fantastic toy story jessie craft and Christmas ornament based on the cow girl Jessie. We sure hope you enjoy this. Don't forget to download the free template and pin to Pinterest for later! Enjoy!

🖌️ How To Make This Jessie Toy Story Ornament
- Step 1: To create this Jessie ornament, simply download and print off your toy story template.
- Step 2: Cut out all the pieces. If you don't have colored cardstock you have the option to print off in white and black and color in the parts with crayons or felts.
- Step 3: Once all the pieces of the Jessie template are ready begin to assemble them together. Add the cowgirl badge to the top half, followed by the orange belt, blue layer and cow themed bottom.
- Step 4: Next glue the toy story jessie hat to the top of your ornament.
- Step 5: Finally add two yellow Mickey ears to the back of the paper craft.
Your Toy Story Jessie Craft is now complete and ready, simply add string to the back if you wish to hang the ornament and don't forget to check out all our other toy story crafts. We have Woody, Buzz light year and the little green men.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep a reference sheet with labeled, precut shapes for each Jessie piece—this makes it faster to rebuild, especially if you’re doing group or repeat projects.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Hat shaping: Gently press the hat cutout against a round cup or bottle to give it a curved appearance that mimics a real cowgirl hat without folding lines.
- Boot spacing: Leave a slight gap between the base and the boots when assembling—this gives a grounded stance and makes the figure appear more balanced.
- Accessory framing: Align the belt or collar evenly using a ruler edge so that all details stay straight, especially when placed over layered paper areas.
- Visual breaks: Add thin color borders between major sections like the shirt and pants to prevent elements from blending into each other visually.
- Neck area support: Reinforce the neckline with a small backing strip behind the collar to avoid buckling when attaching the head or scarf.
- Angle positioning: Slightly tilt the hat or facial features to one side to introduce movement and give Jessie a lively, animated presence.
