Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Create the Handmade Mickey Mouse Wreath Form
Attach the small wreaths to the large wreath form using zip ties or floral wire, forming a Mickey Mouse ears silhouette shape.
Overlap the outer layers of the two wire wreath forms for added stability, with the smaller wreaths on top.
Step 2: Prep and Glue the Dusters to the Wreath
Cut each microfiber cloth in half lengthwise.
Apply lines of hot glue along the wire sections and place the microfiber cloths on top, wrapping any excess around the outer edge and securing with hot glue.
Continue until all 3 circles of the wreath form are covered and the entire wreath is fluffy and magical.
I think it looks best to cover the smaller rings first, then use the material on the larger wreath to hide the smaller wreath overlap section. You can be better at tucking the ends in than I was here
Step 3: Make the Ribbon Bow
Make two bows using the polka dot ribbon, one with the black polka dots and one with the red polka dots. Cut the ends into a dovetail shape.
See our walkthrough here for how to make your own ribbon bows.
Apply hot glue to the back of one bow the bows and press it firmly on top of the other bow.
Apply hot glue to the back of the stacked bows and and press them firmly between the Mickey Mouse ears.
straightforward Mickey Mouse Wreath Variations
- Seasonal Twist: Modify the colors and textures of ribbon to suit different seasons or holidays. Consider pastels for spring or patriotic colors for Independence Day.
- Change the Wreath Base: Instead of the fluffy dusting cloth, change up the cover on the wire wreath form to make a fabric or ribbon wreath, a yarn wreath, a woven rope wreath, or even a flower wreath!
- Personalized Embellishments: Add your own creative flair with personalized embellishments such as Disney-themed charms, faux flower floral picks, or glitter for an extra touch of magic. This is a great spot to show off some Disney pins, souvenirs, or memorabilia.

Handmade Mickey Mouse Wreath FAQs
Can I use different-sized wreath forms?
While the sizes mentioned work well, feel free to experiment with different sizes to create a customized look.
You could also sub the wire wreath frames for grapevine wreath forms, pine evergreen wreaths, or foam wreaths for a different look.
Can I use a different fabric?
Yes! Use what you can find to match your style and the seasonal decor. Swap the mop cloths to make a fabric, ribbon or tulle wreath, a yarn wreath, a woven rope wreath, or even a flower wreath! You could also use pine garland to make a Mickey Mouse Christmas wreath (like this snowman wreath), or add leaves and mini pumpkins for Halloween (like this pumpkin patch wreath), and don’t forget to add some snowflakes for winter.
Is the wreath weather-resistant?
Unfortunately, this wreath is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the materials over time, so be sure to keep it inside a storm door or well-protected from the elements if you’d like to use it on your front door.
