Another super cute (and super inexpensive) project to add some Mickey Mouse fun to your party!
Items Needed:
- Small metal buckets or bins
- Dried Beans
- Small Doll Rods (1/4” or smaller)
- Styrofoam balls in 2 sizes (an assortment package at Dollar tree has enough for one centerpiece)
- Black Paint
- Embellishments (Pinwheels or star stakes etc.)
- Gift zig-zag party packaging
- Hot glue/Glue Gun
I purchased everything but the doll rods & Black paint (that I already had) from Dollar Tree!
1. I started out by hot gluing 2 smaller Styrofoam balls onto a larger one to create Mickey’s Head. I painted the Mickey Head black, using black acrylic paint and a stencil brush.
3. I cut the doll rods to the appropriate length (height) and then inserted one end into the bottom of the Mickey Head.
4. I used another Styrofoam ball as the base and then inserted the other end of the doll rod there and then inserted the pinwheels on both sides, a little lower than the Mickey Head.
5. I placed the base Styrofoam ball into the metal bucket and then filled it with dried beans to hold the ball and sticks in place
I topped the beans with the zig-zag gift packaging material and A Mickey Centerpiece was born!
So Easy…but so cute!
