[Fun] Disney-inspired Holiday Crafts

[KellyMcG86]

Hello, all!

I was just curious if anyone had some Disney-inspired holiday crafts they would like to share?

I finished up a few of these Minnie-inspired ornaments today:



As you can see, the glue hadn't dried yet. I was just so excited how they turned out! Plus I have no patience.

I would love to see any other crafts or hear any ideas any of you have!

I know the feeling... Although it was funny how I always had the greatest idea and most motivation to craft when I was supposed to be studying in pharmacy school. In fact, I found that I was excited to do just about anything other than study! I hope you get to let some of that creative energy loose once finals are all done. Good luck! And thank you!

Yay! So pretty!

Thank you!! It just makes me happy. Can't wait to give them away to some of my friends!

Thanks for the luck!! I need it, because you do find things to do while you're studying... for instance... I'm studying right now ; )
your friends will love those!!

OH MY GOSH HOW CUTE IS THAT! I might have to try that with some acrylic paint and old baubles we have left over...

I made a paper cut out of Jack Skellington, a little shorter than myself (approximately 2/3rds of his normal size) for Halloween. I'm going to make him a Christmas hat and put him back on the wall outside my dorm room for the holidays. Maybe even with Zero. I'll try to post pictures when I finally get around to it.

They're really easy and cheap! I just used a set of ornaments from the dollar store (a pack of 6 was $1), cheap acrylic paint, cheap "puffy" paint, ribbon, and a foam sheet thing. In all, the total cost of materials was around $5 for 6 of them, and I have leftovers of everything but the ornaments... so for another $1 I could get at least another 6, probably more!

Please post a picture of them if you decide to give it a try! And thank you! I think they're rather cute, too.

Pleeeease post a picture!! I LOVE Nightmare, especially Zero. I'm dying to make a Zero out of a tablecloth or napkin... I can't sew, but I think I could come up with something.

I'm horrible at cutting, so you get major kudos from me!

I did not make it, but I did just score this on ebay:



Got it for my Nephew (He is also named Sam) so I think he will get a kick out of it! (He is also a huge disneyland fan.)

Love it! I would love to put it in a more antique/exotic looking frame!

Re: Disney-inspired Holiday Crafts

We had some downtime in the pharmacy the past few days, so we decided to make it festive with some paper snowflakes! I, of course, started looking for Disney-related patterns. All I found was Star Wars (which is just fine with me!):






I decided to free hand my own Mickey pattern and came up with this one:


And my tech is obsessed with Tinkerbell, so I had to make one especially for her:

And what if we're both fine with it? Like I'm in collaberation with another person on doing something and I would be linking to both me and her. Would that be fine?

Sure! I'm honestly not going to be enforcing anything really strictly, just didn't want a bunch of advertisements or anything.

Re: Disney-inspired Holiday Crafts

While not holiday themed per-say, I do hope to finish an art project for someone. Vector a picture for them before the holidays as a special gift. Let me explain. On DeviantArt, someone did a traditional drawing, scanned it, and posted it on her DeviantArt page. I do vectors, which means I make HD art. Look in my signature, the picture in the middle. That's basically what a vector is. I go over a picture that is blown up to a larger size to make it a bit more HD. Well I saw her drawing and asked if I could vector it for her. She said yes and my work began.

Wow, Bongo, that's really neat! I've never heard of vectoring. Thank you for sharing!

Re: Disney-inspired Holiday Crafts

Made a few more ornaments tonight and am starting to work on a Haunted Mansion Holiday inspired wreath!!

Grinch (I don't think he's actually Disney, but he fits in!)


Jack 1:


Jack 2:


I'm thinking about adding more to the Jack ornaments... Haven't decided what, yet.

Finally, my attempt at recreating a skull similar to the ones on the HMH wreaths:



I used salt dough since it's the cheapest, easiest material I could think of. He's getting coat of acrylic paint tomorrow, and hopefully I can find a good deal on a black wreath!

PLUS: My husband got his first deer this year, and he picked up his skull today:



Perfect for Nightmare Reindeer, yes?!!
