Jessie Christmas Ornament Craft
Jessie is the yodling cowgirl who made her first appearance in Toy Story 2. My son loved that film when he was a little kid, and we watched it over and over (and over!).

How To Make Jessie 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 Toy Story ornament 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. Print the page with the belt buckle onto dark yellow.
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. You will have to draw on some of the embellishments.
Use the photos as a guide for where each piece should go – place them down first and make sure you have them in the correct order before sticking them down with a glue stick.
Start with the large white circle as the base, and then stick the dark yellow semi-circle piece at the bottom, the yellow piece with the squiggly line across it at the top, then stick the white collar piece on the very top over the yellow piece.
Next up is the blue piece on top of the dark yellow, then the cow print piece on top of that.
Jessie’s hat comes next, along with the belt buckle, and finally the Mickey ears at the very back. Make sure they are evenly spaced.
Glitter is optional, but if you have got glitter, then you totally should use it!
Add white glue to the rim of Jessie’s hat and sprinkle white glitter on top. Tap off the excess.
Now carefully squeeze glue following the squiggly line and add red glitter, shaking off the excess again. The final bit of glitter is on the belt buckle using gold.
You can add black glitter to the cow print too if you like. Leave everything to dry.
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!
