Tips to Make This Mickey and Minnie DIY Christmas Ornament
- Fill your ornament with glitter. Use mod podge to secure the glitter to the inside. The more glitter, the better! You can never have too much glitter, can you? 🙂
- If you don’t have glitter, you can paint the inside of the ornament or just leave it as is.
- Add your baby’s name and the year to the other side for an even more personalized ornament to give as a gift.
- Mickey and Minnie ornaments with baby’s face are a great gift for grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles, and even close friends. That first Christmas is super special! Remember it with a customized ornament.
Can kids help with this craft?
Using plastic or shatter-proof ornaments, kiddos can help with creating this DIY ornament. If you’re using glass ornaments, though, you’ll want to be more careful. Adults should complete all cutting.

Instructions
- Download the cut files and upload them to Cricut Design Space. Cut the shapes from heat transfer vinyl.
- While that’s cutting, decorate your ornament as you desire. We used a little yellowish gold acrylic paint inside of ours. To do this simply remove the cap of your ornament, add a squirt of acrylic paint inside, and swirl around until the ornament has a good coverage. Then set the ornament upside down so that any excess paint can drain out and the inside of the ornament can dry.
- After your files are cut, the next step is to print of your baby's photo! To do this you will upload the photo of your choice to the Circut App and size your photo to the size ornament design. Then head to the print and cut section and send your photo to your home printer (print out on the white vinyl printable paper). You can use scissors or your Cricut to cut out your printed photo.
- The weed your design elements and press your elements on to the ornament. Use the EasyPress Mini, press the smaller details (such as the bulb of the Santa hat) onto the ornament.
- Hang from the tree!
