Use this section for process shots, alternating between the step and image showing the step. Users don't like seeing process shots cluttering up the how to card, so include your process shots here.
- Step 1: Download the free printable pdf peppermint Minnie Mouse ornament template.
- Step 2: For each Mickey ornament, cut out two small round ears and one big round head. Glue the ears behind the head with a glue stick. Use white glue to add red glitter to alternating sections of the peppermint candies.
- Step 3: For each Minnie ornament, cut out two ears, one head and one bow. Glue the ears behind the head and the bow to the front of your minnie ornament. Add glitter to alternating sections of the peppermint head and ears.
- Step 4: Make hangers by looping a piece of twine and gluing it to the back of the minnie mouse ornaments. Let the Disney inspired Minnie head crafts dry completely, and then they are ready to hang.
💡 Pro Tip: After completing the ornament, attach a loop of ribbon, thread, or twine to the top. This transforms your craft into a delightful Christmas tree ornament, adding a touch of Disney magic to your holiday decor.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Bow Layering: Stack a small patterned ribbon over a solid red base to create a lively double-layered bow that feels more festive and detailed.
- Edge Smoothing: Lightly sand the edges of foam or cardboard pieces before assembling Minnie’s face to avoid rough cuts and achieve a neater finish.
- Use Soft Fabrics: Choose velvet or soft felt for Minnie’s bow or ears, giving the finished craft a cozy, high-quality texture that feels perfect for holiday decor.
- Bold Color Blocking: Stick to strong reds, blacks, and whites without mixing too many shades to keep Minnie recognizable and visually striking from a distance.
- Balance Ornament Weight: If making a hanging ornament, double-check that all elements are evenly placed so it hangs straight rather than tipping to one side.
- Accent With Mini Bells: Attach small bells to the bottom of the ornament for a subtle jingle that adds sound to the visual fun without overwhelming the design.
