Mickey Mouse Ornament
Are you a fan of all things Disney? Maybe you’re planning a family trip or you want to commemorate a special event and want to make a special Disney craft. We just love Christmas Ornaments. Every year when we decorate our tree, our favorite ornaments are those we’ve made or collected on our family trips. Here’s a fun keepsake ornament to make together and it will last for years to come.
This awesome Mickey Mouse Snowman Ornament was adapted from Family Fun on-line. We used Fimo clay to make them instead of paper. You’ll want the template and you can download it here.
Materials for Mickey:
- Fimo Clay (black, white) *I accidentally used translucent Fimo – that’s why there are little dots in it.
- scissors
- oven
- rolling pin
- ribbon
- orange sharpie
- material for scarf (ribbon, felt, old sweater piece)
How to Make the Mickey Snowman Ornament
Starting from the top right (photo above) and going down:
- Roll out the white Fimo into one large thin piece. You may need to warm it between your hands to get it to roll smoothly.
- Keep your black separate from the other colors. If you have more than one child working on this project, have one work with the white and one with the black. Roll out the black.
- Use a straw to punch holes in the Fimo for the eyes and buttons.
- Use the template from Family Fun and trace around the snowman (white) and the hat (black) with a toothpick. You can cut it out with a sharp knife or a pair of scissors (parent part).
- Add the hat and buttons. Press everything into place. Before baking, use your straw to add one more hole in the top.
- Bake according to package directions. I put the ornaments on parchment paper to protect my cookie sheets.
- We added a nose with an orange Sharpie and a little piece of upcycled sweater for a scarf. Love it!

That came out so cute! I have never heard of Fimo. Is it like model magic? We love Mickey in this house and that looks fun to make. I am a new FB follower visiting from Milk and Cuddles. Vicky from Mess For Less
Welcome Vicky! Fimo is in the clay section of the craft store. It’s easy to use and you can bake it right in your oven! So many possibilities!
