Mickey Mouse Gift Tag Ornaments

Add a special touch to all of your gifts this holiday season with the help of play doh! These easy Mickey Mouse gift tags can be used as a one of a kind ornament after the gifts have been opened.



My family loves to play in play doh. We have used it for fun and learning, but now we are looking at ways to make it giftable for all ages. I found the perfect way with these easy as can be gift tags. 

I went with a Mickey Mouse style because all of my wrapping paper is in Disney prints this year. Plus, this is such an easy design that anyone can make it. Even the kids!

You only need a few supplies to make these easy Mickey Mouse Gift Tags:
Play Doh
Bakers Twine
A Straw
Sharpie


Directions:

Form a play doh ball that is the size of a nickle.
Form a dime size play doh ball. Tear it in half.
Flatten the balls into small flat circles.
Press the smaller circles into the larger one, leaving a small space between them, like Mickey's ears.
With a sharpie, or washable marker, write the name of your gift recipient. 
With a straw, punch out a hole in the large circle of doh.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Allow to cool.
Thread the twine through the hole.
Attach to your gift.
