M.I.C.K.E.Y M.O.U.S.E

In honor of mickey mouses birthday I have decided to make a super easy craft for your little girls hair! Its seriously so easy. 

The things you will need are:
one sheet of black felt
hot glue
a barrette

See that? How simple is that list? Okay well you also need to find some circular shapes around the house to use as a template.  So go find an circular object that is about 1in. in diameter and another with about a half in. in diameter. The big one will be the head, the little one will become Mickey's ears. 

Trace 4 head sized pieces on your felt and 8 ear sized pieces from the felt.  Once they are all traced begin to cut them out. The easiest way I found was using a PenBlade. The number #11 was my favorite for this. It is able to cut through felt so easily. You'll see. 

Alright now for the instructions:
  1. Grab a head circle and place a drop of glue in the center then fold the circle in half
  2. lay a different head circle flat and glue the half circle you just made on half of the flat circle
  3. Grab a third head circle, glue in center, fold in half, then glue in center of the half and fold in half again. (should make a quartered circle)
  4.  Place a glue drop on the center of the flat head circle with the half head attatched, and stick the quartered circle in the center so the folds stick up
  5. Glue your last head as you did in Step 1 and glue on the other side of the quartered circle as you did in step 2.
  6. You will Repeat steps 1-5 for the ear circles.
  7. glue an ear to each side of the head
  8. Now glue your Mickey Mouse to the barrette
 
Boom! Cuteness has arrived!! It may sound a little complicated but just read the instructions a lot and you'll be fine. Now your girl or even yourself can wear a cute little mickey mouse hair barrette anytime you want!
