What you need:
- 1 black foam board
- 4 packs of Christmas garland {9ft each}
- decorative items like ornaments, pom pom balls, and small signs
- 8 medium popsicle sticks
- glue
- ribbon, for hanging
- exacto knife
- pencil
Directions:
- Using a pencil trace the outline of your Mickey wreath on the foam board.
- You will need one large circle with a small circle inside {I traced a dinner plate with a salad plate} and two medium circle ears on top, slightly overlapping with the head shape, with smaller circles inside {I traced a salad plate with a bowl).
- Using the exacto knife, gently cut out the Mickey shape and then cut out the three inside circles.
- Glue popsicles sticks, in an X shape, underneath each ear and on the sides of the large circle for support so it does not bend.
- Now wrap your garland around the entire Mickey shape. I did two different colors.
- Glue or tuck in the garland after covering the Mickey shape completely.
- Now you can add decorations if you want to. I glued on a Believe gold ornament and some pom pom balls in Mickey shapes.
- Tie a ribbon on the top to hang or display on a mantle or shelf.

Here’s my final Mickey shape, traced and cut, before I punched it out of the foam board.
Glue popsicles sticks, in an X shape, underneath each ear and on the sides of the large circle.
This gives it extra support so it does not bend.
How cool is that? And so easy too!

Now you can add decorations if you want to. I glued on a Believe gold ornament and some pom pom balls in Mickey shapes.
I found everything at the Dollar Tree including the garland, Believe ornament, ribbon, and pom pom balls.
