Mickey Mouse Invitations - New Template

Hi there!

Today I'm uploading the DIY of a new set of Mickey Mouse invitations I did for a friend.

Without further details, here is what you'll need:

• Card Stock. I bought Yellow, Black and Red.
• White buttons
• Scissors
• Silicone glue. You can also use the glue gun, but I recommend liquid silicone because the finishing touches will look better.
• Mickey Mousse Invitation template. Download it here.

Use the templates to trace onto the cardstock. Once you have finished, proceed to cut all  the pieces.

I used the bigger template to trace onto the yellow cardstock, and the following one to trace on the black cardstock. Glue the black piece on top of the yellow one and let dry. You would end up with something like the picture below.

Use the half circles that you already traced and cut from the Red cardstock and glue them on top of the layout you created. This is VERY IMPORTANT: lay the glue ONLY around 1 cm of the semi circle, meaning on the curve section, so you create a pocket where the invitation will go. Dont glue the flat section of the semi circle.

Glue the white buttons to the pocket you created, which resembles Mickey Mouse's pants.

Use the 3.5" circle on the template to measure the wording of the invitation. What I did was to create a 3.5" circle in PowerPoint (you can use Word as well) and downloaded the Disney Font to create my text. I made sure the text was centered in the circle and exported the file to PDF, to print it out at a local print shop. I printed them on white cardstock and cut them using the scissors. 

Once they are all cut, place them inside the pocket and Voila! here is the final result:

I made 15 of these on 2 days, considering I had to go somewhere else to print the text but you can easily make them in 1 day.

They were very fun to make and look absolutely adorable!! Let me know if you make them and how yours turned out.

Happy crafting!
