Reindeer Mickey Mouse Christmas Ornament Craft Tips
- Print the template onto the suggested colored construction paper and cut the pieces out. (But you could use any colors you want!)
- If construction paper won’t go through your printer, you could print onto regular paper and trace around the pieces onto the colored paper/card. You will have to add any detail with a black marker pen.
- Another option is to print onto white paper and color the pieces in with crayons, pens, paints or pencils.
- Or what about making this reindeer Mickey using craft foam? You will have to add any detail with a black marker pen.
- Cut all the pieces out and lay them where they should go before sticking down with glue.
- An optional extra is adding glitter: apply white school glue to the parts you want to add some sparkle, sprinkle glitter on top, shake off the excess and leave to dry.
- Stick a loop of string (red and white baker’s twine is very festive!) or ribbon to the back of the ornaments. Cover the fixings with a circle of matching paper to hide them. 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!
- Turn Mickey into Minnie! Included in the template is a bow that you can add to make a pair of Disney reindeer ornaments!

Materials
- Construction Paper in the following colors: Brown Light Brown, Red
- Red Fine Glitter optional
- String or Ribbon
TOOLS
- White School Glue (PVA Glue)
- Glue Stick
- Laminator & Laminating Sheets (optional)
Instructions
- Download and print out the Reindeer Mickey ornament template onto corresponding colored papers (Link in the blog post) and carefully cut the pieces out.
- Use a glue stick to attach the red nose to the front of the face.
- Space the ears evenly and stick them to the back of the ornament.
- Stick the antlers behind the ears.
- If you are adding glitter, apply white school glue to the nose and sprinkle red glitter. Shake off excess and leave to dry.
- Finally, form a hanging loop with a piece of string or ribbon and stick it to the back of the ornament. To hide your workings at the back you could add another large circle of brown paper to cover.
- If you want, you can laminate the ornament so that it lasts longer. Before attaching the loop, run it through a laminator and cut away the excess. Make sure you leave a slight edge as you cut it out so that the laminating sheets don't fall away! Attach the loop to the back.
