Mickey Mouse ears
There are several options for how to make ears for a Mickey Mouse costume. It is better to use a hoop, since the ears will hold on better and not become deformed. You will also need glue, black fabric or felt, thick foam rubber or corrugated cardboard, and pattern paper.
Draw 2 circles of the required diameter on paper, transfer the pattern to black fabric and cut out four circles from the fabric. From foam rubber or cardboard we cut out two circles with a diameter 1.5-2 cm smaller. We insert the filler between two circles of fabric and carefully stitch it, leaving a small hole at the bottom.
Mark on the hoop where the ears will be placed and glue two small erasers to these places. After the glue has completely dried, we put the ears on the erasers with an unsewn piece and sew them from the bottom under the hoop. We cut off the excess fabric and cover the entire hoop with black material.
Ears can be decorated with sequins and sparkles. For a girl, you can make an elegant red bow, and for a boy, a small cylinder made of cardboard or felt.
If you are making a Mickey Mouse costume for a baby, it is better to replace the headband with a cute hat. This attribute will not fly off and squeeze the child’s head. To sew a light hat, just measure the circumference of your head and the length of the product. We draw a semicircle pattern with the appropriate dimensions on paper, transfer it to the fabric and cut out two parts. Don't forget to leave a seam allowance of 1-2 cm.
For simplicity, you can take a ready-made black hat and sew ears on it. You should also insert foam rubber or cardboard inside the ears for the form. To make the hat hold better, you can sew on ribbons that will be tied at the bottom. The hat can be decorated with beautiful embroidery, beads or rhinestones.
Gray Mouse Costume Shoes
- Most parents who prepare mouse costumes for girls wear sandals, snow-white socks, Czech shoes or tights. However, the look will seem complete if you hide the shoes under the ruffles. It is better to make them from a plain fabric that will match the shades of the image.
- To sew the ruffles, follow the instructions for sewing the skirt. Just keep in mind that the size of the frills should be much smaller. Place these frills on your ankles so that they cover your shoes. This will make the image seem more complete.
Working with sugar mastic
It is not surprising that wonderful figures and three-dimensional ornaments can be obtained from mastic, because the product has an incredible resemblance to plasticine. The only significant difference is that the mastic dries quickly in the open air, so it is recommended to store it in bags or cling film. A Minnie Mouse cake made from mastic will delight not only a little girl, but will also surprise all the guests. The main thing is to approach the cooking process responsibly and carry out all work as carefully as possible. It is worth considering that when working with the product in question, you should not allow it to come into contact with water, since the mastic tends to dissolve and leave stains.
You can paint mastic any color very quickly, but using dyes in the form of a gel or paste is strictly prohibited. It is necessary to knead the “material” until an elastic mass is obtained, make a small depression in the very center. Then apply a little dry dye using a toothpick into the hole you made. After stirring, you will get a beautiful, uniform color. The Minnie Mouse cake is made in pink, white and red shades.
Step-by-step instructions for sewing a children's skirt
For work you will need the following materials:
Step 1
Measure your child's hips using a measuring tape, divide that by 6.28 to determine the radius, and write that down on a piece of paper.
Step 2
Fold the fabric 4 times.
Step 3
Using a measuring tape, measure the distance of the radius from the closed corner and mark it with chalk on the fabric. Do this several times at different angles until you have several marks that will describe a curve around the inside corner, then connect these points with chalk.
#6 Fishtail braiding for long hair
“Fishtail” is a real salvation for girls with long hair. The hairstyle helps to remove as much length as possible, while creating a chic and beautiful weave. Fishtail hairstyles take longer to create than French braided hairstyles. However, the result looks quite decent and beautiful.
To create a fishtail hairstyle you need:
- put your hair in a high ponytail
- divide your hair into two parts
- Take a small strand of hair from each part in turn and move it in the opposite direction
- Having completed the braiding, secure it with a miniature elastic band to match your hair color
Fishtail braiding can be part of a formal hairstyle. Braid on the front strand, thus moving the hair away from the face. The rest of your hair can be braided in a regular braid or left loose. In formal hairstyles, fishtails look beautiful with decorations made of artificial flowers, hairpins with rhinestones and stones.
Other interesting manicure options
Don't limit yourself to the ideas above.
Add creativity to your design:
- A red jacket with white polka dots and a black bow on all nails, and two mice on the thumb will be beautiful;
- Black and white heroes can be lined with rhinestones of different sizes;
- black silhouettes or stickers on a silver background will look elegant and festive;
- if length allows, add fun captions.
Whatever you choose, it is important to perform each stage correctly, then your manicure will be stylish and long-lasting.
Entertainment
Diversifying the leisure time of guests at a holiday is not an easy task, and it is even more difficult to come up with games and competitions that fit the theme. Here is a selection of entertainment that you can do at a Minnie Mouse themed birthday party:
Attach a bow
Standard entertainment for children's parties, stylized according to the Minnie theme: attach a bow to the head of the cartoon heroine. We do this, of course, blindfolded. The result is not so important here, but the process of hitting the target itself is interesting) Other guests can, if desired, give hints to the participant.
Minnie bowling
Minimum props - maximum fun. For this game, a few bottles decorated with Minnie figures and a ball with which we will knock down these bottles will be enough. The principle is the same as in regular bowling - knock down the maximum number of bottles.
Throwing balls
We make a stand with holes in the shape of the head and ears. The child's goal is to throw the maximum number of balls into the holes.
This game can be played in the form of a relay race, when each participant runs to the stand and tries to throw the ball. At the end, we count the number of balls thrown by each team.
Face painting
A creative type of entertainment that can be done at the very beginning of the holiday, so that little guests can spend the holiday in the form of mice.
Wooden puzzle
Very easy to do. The main thing is to stock up on ice cream sticks. We draw Minnie with paints of different colors, then mix the sticks. Children must first select sticks of their color and then put them together to make a picture.
Plate
Each guest can write a wish for the birthday girl on the plate. Such a plate will decorate a child's room and will remind you of the fun moments of the holiday.
Gingerbread
Before the holiday, we bake gingerbread cookies in the shape of Minnie, prepare sugar icing of different colors, and confectionery topping. Children decorate their own gingerbread, which they can take home with them.
Coloring
This is also a good option to keep the kids occupied during the holiday and a great way to give them a little rest during a break between outdoor games and competitions.
Children's hairstyles for girls for medium and short hair
Hair bows
· Part your hair down the middle and continue to part to the sides of your head just above your ears.
Tip: This is easiest to do on damp hair.
· Gather your hair into a ponytail and tie it with an elastic band, wrapping it several times. Thread a strand through the last turn, leaving a small ponytail directed towards the face.
· Divide the hair bun into two equal parts.
· Take the remaining ponytail and thread it back through the middle of the split section.
· Secure the resulting hair bow with an elastic band, leaving the ponytail that is now at the back.
· Wrap the ponytail around the base of the bow and secure again with an elastic band.
Braided bangs
This method will help replace the bobby pins that most often fall from girls’ hair.
· Wet the comb slightly, separate the bangs and comb them
· Start braiding, adding small sections to the right and left and tie with an elastic band.
This hairstyle is suitable for short to medium hair.
· Part your hair in the middle and take a square section on both sides and tie it into a ponytail.

Patterns of toys in the form of a mouse (rat) from felt
Gradually, in each previous work, I gave exactly the diagrams so that they could be used to cut out a toy. But I think it’s worth giving the templates separately so that they are all in one place. This will make it easier for you to find them.
It seemed like a very complex and beautiful job. But the pattern is very simple. Only 3 main parts!
Here is the pattern for these little mice, and if you take materials of different colors, you will get a very bright and beautiful toy!
This is also an easy to make but very cute rodent, right?!
A beautiful mouse with a bouquet is also easy to make. Instead of a bouquet, you can offer her something else.
And the pattern is quite simple. By the way, I liked the hands of this mouse. They are made from a thin long strip, folded in half and stitched, but not all the way through. The fingers are cut at the end.
This job is a little more challenging and is likely best suited to children over 13 and adults.
Here is also a simple mouse. We have been doing this for a long time as a flavoring agent. They filled it with sawdust and dripped essential oil.
And a whole gallery of rodents. Click to enlarge and download or draw a picture.
I hope one of the patterns will encourage you to start making a Mouse!)
Finally, a pattern of Mickey Mouse and Minnie, though only the head, but I think it will look beautiful as a magnet for a refrigerator or a keychain or a toy for a Christmas tree.
Possible competitions
The main rule of a good bachelorette party is don’t let anyone get bored. Games will help entertain guests and create a festive atmosphere. Here are some popular options:
I'll make the perfect groom
If one of your girlfriends doesn’t have a boyfriend, it doesn’t matter. After all, you can blind him! For this purpose, participants are given balloons, tape and markers. The girl whose groom turns out to be the most prominent wins.
Dance with the groom
You can continue the previous competition if you arrange a dance with the man of your dreams. We recommend filming this competition.
Final image
To complete the look, draw a mustache and nose.

Master class on how to make a felt mouse using technology for school
I am one of those who adheres to the golden rule: the simpler, the more brilliant. If you don't believe me, then watch it! We will make the simplest Mouse! But without her, our collection would have lost a lot. After all, such work can be done with a magnet, a hairpin, an applique on a bag or clothes... in a word, you can’t go anywhere without this Mouse.
Only 2 parts need to be prepared: a circle and an elongated muzzle with ears.
True, each of the details is in duplicate: black and colored.
And one more moment! The black part is only a couple of millimeters larger than the colored part. If you put one on top of the other, the black part should be visible as an outline.
Cut black fishing line, thin wool thread or black floss into small pieces.
Glue these pieces to the black part (muzzle).
We wrap the edge of the muzzle in a colored piece with the same thread.
Place the beginning and edge of the thread on the glue.
Glue the colored piece on top of the black one.
Glue the eyes to the muzzle.
Glue the face to the circle.
All that remains is to make brooches, magnets or something else from the blanks. Basically, everything is ready!
Hygienic manicure
We perform manicures using any technique convenient for you: hardware, edged, combined or European.
We pay special attention to cleaning the pterygium, because its remnants will cause peeling of the coating in the future.
- We shape the free edge and remove the gloss from the nail plate using a buff or file of the appropriate abrasive. Be careful, you only need to remove the top glossy layer and create roughness for better adhesion of the artificial material to the natural nail. Do not rub your nail until it turns red, as this will only cause harm.
- Apply the degreaser and immediately the acid-free primer with a wrung-out brush, using gentle rubbing movements, and let air dry for 1-2 minutes.
- Apply the base coat. If the nail plate is uneven (this can be easily checked by looking at the highlight), we perform alignment in compliance with the correct architecture. In this case, it is better to work one nail at a time.
- We apply the color coating in several layers. We dry each of them in a lamp.
- We carry out the design (instructions are described below).
- We fix the coating with topcoat.
General description of installation
In a hairstyle containing hair ears, the main attention is directed to the central elements that rise above the overall mass of hair. Form symmetrical formations that imitate elements of a suitable style
Any length of hair is suitable for the hairstyle, allowing you to create details. The appropriate structure of the hair depends on the format of the elements. A straight linen is preferable, but sometimes curly curls are acceptable.
The hairstyle goes well with different types of coloring, especially fantasy style. The styling will be perfectly complemented by bangs of any format, curls, braids. This option can be combined with jewelry.
Room decoration
The main colors of the holiday are black, red and yellow, as well as a print in the form of white polka dots on a red background. It is in these colors that the entire design should be maintained.
Decorations for the birthday boy’s room can be purchased at specialized stores for the holidays or made yourself. How can you decorate a room?
First, these are garlands. A multi-colored themed garland in the form of flags will help you immediately create a festive mood. It is advisable that polka dot flags periodically alternate in the garland.
You can hang a poster with illustrations from the cartoon on the walls. On a piece of whatman paper, write in Disney's signature font the name of the birthday boy and how old he is.
A good idea would be to make a photo collage of 12-24 photos of your child over the past year. They will look original in black and white colors. You can place them on a sheet of whatman paper and place them in a large red photo frame, having previously decorated it with Mickey Mouse ears.
The following will help you decorate a room in the style of Mickey Mouse:
- balloons black, white and red
- garlands of flags
- balloons with the image of Mickey and his friends
- paper fans on the walls
Mickey Mouse soft toys will also perfectly complement the holiday decoration. A striking detail of the holiday will be “mouse ears”.
