[Make It With Your Favorite Character!] Handmade Ideas for Disney Ear Headbands

Mickey costume from Steamboat Willie

Speaking of Mickey from Steamboat Willie, he wears white shorts, a black T-shirt, and a black, white, and gray striped scarf.

It looks like the T-shirt and scarf can be prepared as ready-made items, so here we’re only making the white shorts by hand.

You just sew the body pieces together, so anyone who can use a sewing machine should be able to make them easily.

Once you’ve got the outfit on, put on a headband with Mickey ears to transform into Mickey! If you have time, you could also handmake the scarf.

How to make an origami headband

Transform into Mickey and Minnie ♡ How to make an origami headband — great for costumes too!*

Let’s try making Mickey and Minnie headbands out of origami.

Using origami, you can finish them quickly, and you could even make them at your hotel.

First, prepare four sheets of black origami paper, which often goes unused.

Two will be for the base and two for the ears.

Once you’ve made the ears, insert them into the base and secure them with tape.

After taping, glue the base, close it, and connect the ends.

That completes Mickey.

For Minnie, add a bow.

Fold a red bow and tuck it under one of the ears to finish.

Mickey balloon art hat

[Mickey & Minnie Hats] Balloon Art

You can make a Mickey hat with balloon art.

First, inflate two black balloons into round shapes.

Next, make a long balloon and wrap it around the round balloons.

Once you create the part that attaches to the head, it’s complete.

For Minnie, add a bow to it.

When handling balloons, techniques like kneading them to soften are necessary, so check a video to learn those techniques and avoid popping them.

Since few people make wearable items with balloon art, you might attract some attention.

Cardboard Mickey headband

Here are some ideas for making Mickey-style headbands out of cardstock.

It’s very easy, so be sure to try it with your child.

First, prepare black cardstock.

Fold one sheet into a long, narrow strip to make the base of the headband.

From another sheet, cut out two circular pieces.

Make a small slit in each circle, overlap the cut edges slightly, and glue them to create a three-dimensional piece.

Attach these as ears to the headband base.

Finally, punch holes at both ends of the base, thread a rubber band through, and you’ll have an adorable headband! Add a bow to turn it into a Minnie version.
