Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Ornament
The trend for putting up a Halloween tree has been growing over the past few years (mainly because of Instagram!) and as someone who loves Halloween, it is only appropriate that I should have one too. In all actuality, I’ve got two Halloween trees! I put them up as early as possible (usually September!) just so that I can enjoy them before Halloween is over!
As a Disney fan, I love Mickey Mouse and Mickey-shaped things too. And I LOVE pumpkins and Halloween, so naturally, this pumpkin ornament is perfect for me! Fall and Halloween is my favorite time to visit Walt Disney World because pumpkin Mickey is everywhere!

How To Make Mickey Mouse Pumpkin Ornaments
I’ve got several step-by-step photos to guide you through making these Disney ornaments, and there is also a slideshow video over on my YouTube channel that you can watch and save to your Playlists for future reference. (Don’t forget to subscribe while you are there!)
Assembling your Mickey pumpkin is really easy – here is how you do it!
Simply print the template onto the corresponding colored paper or card and cut the pieces out. Alternatively, you could print onto regular paper and trace around the pieces onto the colored card, especially if you are worried that it won’t go through your printer.
Space out the ears pieces evenly and use a glue stick to attach behind the top of Mickey’s head. Then stick on the stem and the leaf.
If you want to add glitter to your ornament – the option is up to you – apply white school glue Mickey’s eyes, nose, and mouth and sprinkle over black fine glitter. Shake off excess and leave to dry. You can also add green glitter in the same way to the leaf.
Just one more step which is sticking a loop of black string or ribbon to the back of the ornaments. Leave everything to dry completely before hanging on your tree!
If you want the decorations to last longer, you could run them through a laminator before attaching the hanging loop. When cutting out after laminating the ornaments, make sure you leave a slight edge so that the laminating sheets do not come apart!
