Dec 2nd: Mickey Mouse Wreath/Dream Catcher

Today's craft is for all the people out there who love Disney. The iconic shape of Mickey's head will immediately be recognised and will touch up every room. So why not make a wreath in the shape of Mickey Mouse?

You will need:

Thick and sturdy cardboard

Yarn

Embroidery floss or effect yarn

Some beads

How it's done:

Draw a big circle and two identical small circles onto your cardboard. Don't connect them! 

Draw an inner circle into each of the circles, about two cm smaller in radius. 

Cut out the inner circle and the outer circle. You can throw the inner circles away or keep them for other crafts. 

Take your yarn and tie it around one of the circles (around the 2 cm rim). Then, wrap the yarn around the circle until you reach the beginning again and no more cardboard is visible. Do the same with the other two circles.

Now, place the two small circles at the top of the big circle to resemble Mickey's ears and tie the same yarn around the two layers. Wrap the yarn around the two circles to connect them with each other. Do that on both sides. 

Optional: before you connect the circles, you can make a dream catcher pattern on the inside of the circles like I did. You can see how that's done here from about 1:40 on.

If you happen to know how to make an Advent wreath from twigs, you could make one of those to look like mickey's iconic head too.

I hope you have a nice day!
