Valentine Mickey 3D Art // Inspired By Dis

Welcome to Valentine’s Week on This Fairy Tale Life! I have a couple fun DIY projects to share, and I really hope you enjoy them. I had a lot of fun making them!

This particular one was really inexpensive and easy to make. I had been wanting to make some 3D art for a while and when this idea popped into my head, I quickly set out to get it done! I think it turned out really cute.

Supplies:

Picture frame with glass removed
White paper the size of the frame (Or whatever color you desire)
1″ Mickey punch
Pink construction paper (or whatever color you desire)
Glue stick

Steps:

Step 1: Punch out your Mickey heads. For the design shown you need 25 Mickeys.

Step 2: Fold up the Mickey ears to they stick up a little. A 45 degree angle is good (see photo below). This step is optional, but it really adds a cool dimension to your art.

Step 3: Arrange your Mickey heads into the shape of a heart on your white paper. Check the spacing between the Mickey heads and around the heart shape. You want everything to be as centered and even as possible. Aim for perfection but remember your imperfections are what make your craft uniquely you.

Step 4: When you’re happy with your design, you can start gluing the Mickey heads down. I started with the bottom row and worked my way up. When all of them have been glued, allow your art to dry for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5: When the glue is dry, prop up those ears again.

Step 6: Place the art in the frame and put the backing in place. Remember to leave out the glass or plastic protection, or else your 3D Mickeys will go flat! Display on a shelf or hang on a wall!

And it doesn’t have to just be for Valentine’s Day … you can leave this cute art up year round!

    This is so easy and SO cute. I’m going to try to make something just like that, but for a card instead of wall art!

    Cute idea! I’m not sure about wall art, but I like Anita’s suggestion of using it as card decor. It turned out really nice Mindy!

      It actually started as a card, but as I was making it I found it was too big! So it turned into wall art and I love it.

      Thanks Kristin! The hardest part was figuring out the placement to make it resemble a heart.
