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.

Easy Gnome Christmas Ornaments

These easy Gnome Christmas ornaments are perfect for crafting with the kids this holiday season.

We love to make easy crafts with the items we already have on hand. Some of my best ideas and favorite projects have stemmed from the junk drawer and items destined for the trash. These Christmas gnome ornaments are a great example of what you can make with simple stuff you probably already have.

These are awesome because with a different pattern of paper, or bigger googly eyes, your gnome looks totally different. If you don't have the supplies in the junk drawer or your craft supplies, you can get all of these things from Dollar Tree or even better- improvise!

Supplies per 1 gnome:

2 googly craft eyes
3 craft sticks
cotton balls
Red Pom Pom
Glue
Brown Bag
Scrap Book Paper
Confetti
Sharpie
Ribbon

Directions:

With the 3 craft sticks glue them together to form a triangle.

Cut a triangle from the brown bag to fit in the craft stick frame.

Add a generous amount of glue to the craft sticks and place the bag on top of it.

Cut a smaller triangle from scrap book paper to form the hat of your gnome.

Add eyes, a pom pom nose and draw on a mouth with a sharpie.

Add a chunk of confetti or some type of adornment to the hat.
Add a row of cotton balls for the beard.

Flip the gnome over and glue a ribbon to the back.

Hang your cute and easy gnome Christmas ornaments from your tree or share them with friends and family!

You can make dozens of these and make them all unique by simply changing the paper of the hats and the size of the pom pom of the nose.

This is such a fun craft to make with the kids! We loved making and naming our gnome ornaments!

Supply List:

5 Craft Sticks

Glue

Ribbon

Scissors

A Pencil

Directions:

• Line up 4 craft sticks
• Lightly draw the outline of a tree on the craft sticks, as you can see we simply made slanted lines.
• Cut the craft sticks per the lines you made.

• I made a tiny pointy triangle from the scraps of craft sticks for the top of the tree.
• Cut and glue ribbon to fit the cut craft sticks.

• Trim the ribbon to fit.
• Now assemble your tree and glue it on to the remaining craft stick.

• Cut 6 inches of ribbon and form a loop, glue this to the back to act as an ornament hanger.
• Allow to dry, then hang from your tree, or share with someone special this holiday season!

These were so easy to make! Last year I added them to my wrapped gifts to add something extra to the presentation.

We love to craft together. Now that both kids are in school all day, it is the thing I miss the most about Harper being home. We don't have time to make something fun everyday anymore. But, sometimes I can get the kids to take a break from their after school social life to make something fun with me.

This leaf window cling is perfect for adding some color to your house in  between Halloween and Christmas. It is made with 2 simple supplies to create something cute and colorful. I got the supplies at Dollar Tree, and you can literally make dozens of these for $2.

Supplies

Precut squares of tissue paper in red, yellow and orange

Transparent clear contact paper

Scissors

Directions

If needed trace the shape of leaves on one section of contact paper, to cut or just cut the shapes out.

Peel the paper off and lay the contact paper sticky side up.

Begin layering contact paper on the sticky contact paper. Leave just a few tiny spots uncovered to attach to the window.

Press to the window firmly to attach.

Remove when the season ends.
