The answer is yes! Pocahontas is Native American and was the first American Disney Princess. The second American Disney princess was Tiana from the movie, The Princess and the frog.

🖌️ How To Make This Disney Christmas Ornament

Pocahontas Mickey Ears Template Paper Craft.

Step 1: Download the free printable Pocahontas template. Print each of the pages of both templates on the correct color of card stock. The color is listed at the top of each page. You’ll have extra pieces, so you can use them to make more than one craft.

Step 2: For each Pocahontas ornament cut out two round black ears and one of each of the other pieces. Glue the ears behind the head and the other pieces to the front.

Step 3: For each John Smith ornament cut two yellow ears and one of each of the other pieces.

Step 4: Glue the ears behind the head and the other pieces to the front. Add glitter to both ornaments.

💡 Pro Tip: Step back and view your piece from several directions to catch slight alignment issues before drying—it sharpens your symmetry instincts over time.

🧑‍🎨 Expert Tips

Ear Spacing: Place both ears the same distance from the center line to avoid visual tilting and ensure a stable, unified overall structure.
Mirrored Shapes: Flip side elements as mirror images to strengthen symmetry and improve the finished ornament’s overall aesthetic and composition.
Center Alignment: Align the core features vertically so the design looks balanced and centered, especially when the ornament is hung on display.
Even Layering: Apply glitter, fabric, or paper embellishments equally on both sides to avoid sagging or bulky spots during final assembly.
Color Balance: Spread color accents and tones evenly across the surface to prevent strong color clusters from drawing focus to one side.
Size Matching: Make sure added details—like feathers or trims—are equal in scale so they don’t distract from the main ornament shape.
