While we were planning our Disney Side at Home party, I went on a Pinterest hunt for DIY Mickey Mouse ears. And, while I found a number of easy Mickey ear crafts, most of them required a headband. That was a big no-no since there were “big” little boys coming to the party. So I created this Mickey Mouse Ear template that’s extremely easy to make with paper and pipe cleaners.
Instructions for Using Our Mickey Mouse Ears Template
Supplies:
- 1 piece of card stock for the template
- black card stock (enough for each party goer)
- a light-colored color pencil for tracing
- scissors
- single hole-punch
- pipe cleaners, string or fishing wire
- new printer ink (if you need it)
Instructions:
- Click here to open the printable Mickey Mouse Ear Template (it will open in a new window).
- Set your printer to print in Landscape mode and print the template onto light or white card stock.
- Cut the template out and use a white or light colored pencil to trace onto a piece of black card stock. (I found the black card stock at Walmart.)
- Cut on your traced lines and let the kids decorate them!
- Strap the ears on:
–We used pipe cleaners to attach our ears. Punch holes on the bottom of each side of the band, stick the pipe cleaner in from behind and fold and twist to secure. Then fit the ears on and twist the pipe cleaners in the back to secure them.
–You can also tape or glue string or fishing wire to the bottom of each side of the band. Then fit the ears on and tie in the back to secure them.
Simply repeat the steps for each set of ears you need to make. Be sure to let me know how it works out (and I’d love to see pictures!). Be sure to share!!
