Tiny Mickey Garland for a Tiny Christmas Tree

As I was punching paper for Tuesday’s Mickey Confetti post, I had a big time brain storm! I bought this little tree at Trader Joes over the weekend and even though it has some sparklies on it, I thought it seemed a little bare.  As I was looking at my pile of gold and silver Mickeys I thought – OH BOY! How about a tiny Mickey garland? I quickly busted out some green thread and some glue and got to work.

Step 3: Put a dab of glue on one side of a Mickey punch.  Just the smallest dab needed!

Step 4: Place the Mickey punch on the yarn. Be sure to protect your work surface with a piece of paper or a tissue.

Step 5: Repeat! Every now and then, lift up your garland to make sure the glue isn’t sticking to your work surface.

Step 6: Wait about an hour for your garland to dry. Then wrap the garland around your little tree.  How pretty!

I made a star topper by cutting a “rainbow” shape from the gold foil paper and folding it into a cone shape. Then I used a star punch with the foil paper and glued the star to the cone.

Pretty stinkin’ adorable if I do say so myself!
