These DIY Gingerbread Mickey Ornaments Are Too Cute!

When we think of the holidays at Walt Disney World, gingerbread is one of the top things that comes to mind. From delicious gingerbread treats to the amazing gingerbread houses, gingerbread is definitely apart of the holidays for us and now we can bring a little of that magic home. DisneyParksBlog and their #DisneyMagicMemories posted a DIY for gingerbread Mickey ornaments and we can’t wait to try it out.

With this Gingerbread Mickey template, puffy paint and a few other materials, you are on your way to making an ornament that will make even Scrooge smile! Leslie Brignac, the mom behind Minnie Van Mom, is the creator of this holiday keepsake that will no doubt become a family treasure. Inspired by her daughter’s Disney themed tree, this can be created at home in six easy steps!

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Using your marker, trace two Gingerbread Mickeys using your exterior stencil on the brown felt. Carefully cut out each Gingerbread Mickey.

STEP 2:Place the Gingerbread Mickey interior stencil on one of your Gingerbread men and trace around the outline with white puffy paint. Add paint squiggles on the arms and legs of the Gingerbread Mickey, let dry.

STEP 3:Once your Gingerbread Mickey is dry, place it on top of your second Gingerbread Mickey. Using your needle and white yarn, carefully sew your two Gingerbread Mickeys together with a whipstitch. Before completely stitching up the Gingerbread Mickey, stuff with polyfill.

STEP 4:Using your Mickey face stencil, carefully trace Mickey’s face onto your black felt and cut the face out. Hot glue the eyes, nose, and mouth onto your Gingerbread Mickey.

STEP 5:Now it’s time to decorate! Using your puffy paint and ribbon, add buttons, rosy cheeks, and a bow tie (or a hair bow if you want a Gingerbread Minnie).

STEP 6:Hot glue a looped ribbon on the back of your Gingerbread Mickey so that it can hang on your Christmas Tree!

How cute are these ornaments? We are excited to give this DIY project a try.
