How to Make the Mickey and Minnie Pumpkin Craft

1. Base coat paint the pumpkin with black craft paint, let dry. Apply a second and third coat, if necessary, letting each coat dry completely.

2. Paint bottom half of each pumpkin with red craft paint, let dry. Apply a second coat, if necessary.

3. Trace eight circles 2 ½” in diameter onto black craft foam with a permanent black marker. Cut out with scissors, making sure to cut on the inside of your lines for a clean finished project. Attach two circles together with liquid glue to create four ears total. Set aside to dry.

4. Create polka dots on the Minnie pumpkin with round sponge applicator and white craft paint, let dry.

5. Attach buttons to the Mickey pumpkin with glue gun.

6. Trim a small sliver off the bottom of each ear. Apply ears to the top right and top left of each pumpkin with glue gun pushing the ear toward the pumpkin as the glue sets to get a good adhesion.

7. Create the bow by wrapping ribbon around all four of your fingers three times. Carefully remove ribbon from your fingers and tie in the center with a separate 12” length of ribbon to create the tail ends.

8. Attach bow to the top center of the Minnie pumpkin with glue gun and then fluff bow loops and trim tails end to prevent fraying.

9. If the glue shows at the base of the ears, cover with permanent black marker.

A great craft project to create for your favorite Disney lover! The Mickey and Minnie pumpkins go together in 30 minutes (for both) so create one set to keep and one set to gift in just about an hour!
