- Step 1: Print the pages of the template on the correct color of card stock. The color is listed at the top of each page. Page 5 is an optional Minnie bow that you can use or not. You’ll have extra pieces, so you can use them to make more than one Mickey head ornament.
- Step 2: For each Rudolph ornament, cut out two ears, two antlers, one head and one red nose. Use the glue stick to attach the ears behind the head and the antlers behind the ears. Then add the red nose to the front.
Step 3:Make the nose sparkle, when you use white glue to add glitter to the nose. Make a hanger by looping a piece of twine and gluing it to the back of the Disney inspired reindeer ornament. Let Rudolph dry completely, and then the craft is ready to hang.
💡 Pro Tip: Make a whole family of Mickey Rudolphs by varying the size of the ears or antlers. This creates a fun set of personalized decorations or gifts for the holidays!
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Use Sturdy Materials: Opt for heavyweight cardstock or thin cardboard to ensure the ornament maintains its shape and durability over time.
- Secure Attachments: Employ strong adhesive to affix elements like ears and antlers, preventing them from detaching during handling or storage.
- Smooth Edges: Carefully trim and smooth all edges to avoid any sharp corners that could cause discomfort or catch on other decorations.
- Test Hanging Balance: Before finalizing, hang the ornament to check its balance, making adjustments as needed to ensure it hangs straight.
- Avoid Overloading Decorations: Keep embellishments minimal to prevent the ornament from becoming too heavy, which could strain branches or cause it to tilt.
- Dry Thoroughly: Allow ample drying time for all glued parts to ensure stability and prevent pieces from shifting or falling off.
