    Who are Mickey and Minnie?

    Most people know Mickey and Minnie as popular Disney characters. These characters are fictitious yet, very well known.

    It is unclear about Mickey and Minnie's relationship.
    However, some folks believe that they are a couple who may have been married, but, privately. They are fictitious cartoon characters however. 😉

    How do you make Mickey? or Minnie?

    In this project, Mickey and Minnie are an inspiration.
    That is, we are simply making a craft project that reminds us of the actual characters.

    The reminders of the popular characters are the red and black colors used to pant the sticks with. Then we have added round ears, a bow to Minnie, and buttons for Mickey.

    Tips for making this jumbo craft stick project.

    I mentioned that many of the materials in this project can easily be found at dollar or similar store. You can also look in the craft department of your local big box store too for materials.

    More tips for you

    1. My craft stick project was made using a glue gun and glue sticks. However, you can use a craft glue instead, but keep in mind that you will have to wait for it to dry.
    2. The ears on my mice were made using black cardstock. While cardstock is the perfect weight for the ears, you could however also try using cardboard if needed.
    3. The white dots are made using a sponge dabber dabbed in white paint. Round circles can be used instead.
    4. Using a sealer can be a good idea if you want your project to stand up to elements such as water. You can find craft sealers to choose from here.

    Personalize your Mickey and Minnie Craft Stick DIY.

    This is a simple project that is really cute the way it is.
    However, you can make yours even better.

    Try one of these ideas.

    • Paint or write a name or phrase on the sticks to use as a sign.

    • Attach a craft magnet to the back to hang on your refrigerator or somewhere else.

    How to make Mickey and Minnie Craft Stick DIY

    This project takes about 30 minutes, depending on how long it takes for the paint and glue to dry.

    STEP ONE: make the base

    To create each of the Mickey and Minnie bases, line up four jumbo craft sticks on your work surface next to one another with the tops and bottoms in an even line.

    Next, using two additional sticks, make the cross bars that will be used to hold the four sticks in place. You may need to first trim the two sticks as they may be too long. Glue the cross bar sticks in place.

    STEP TWO: Paint the sticks.

    Paint the top 2.5” of the glued craft sticks with the black acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and then apply a second coat, if necessary.

    Paint the bottom 3.5” of the craft stick Mickey and Minnie with red acrylic craft paint. Set aside to dry and apply a second coat, if necessary.

    STEP THREE: prepare the detail elements.

    For the ears- Trace four 2” circles onto black cardstock with a pencil. Use a circle template or find a round object in your house that is the correct size. Carefully cut the circles out.

    Minnie's Dress. Create a polka dot pattern on the bottom of Minnie’s dress using a sponge dabber and white acrylic craft paint.

    STEP FOUR: Assemble the parts.

    To assemble Mickey, glue two ears to the top right and left of the back of the craft sticks. Attach two yellow buttons to the intersection of the black and red paint using a glue gun and glue sticks.

    To assemble Minnie, glue two ears to the top right and left of the back of the craft sticks. Tie the red with white polka dot ribbon into a bow and attach to the top center of the craft sticks using a glue gun and glue sticks.
