When I posted last weeks pattern (Santa Hat) I shared that my husband and I are surprising our kids with a trip to Disney. I wanted to find a fun way to tell them about the trip so I designed these Mickey and Minnie ornaments to give to them.
They easily guessed the surprise. Mark and Ashley were very excited. Aidan, who is in seventh grade, was a little stressed about the thought of missing a week of school work but we came up with a game plan to get his work done while we are away. We are all looking forward to a week of warm sunshine and family time!
I hope you like this pattern! Please tag me on Instagram lovable_loops to share your pictures with me if you choose to make one.

Push all loose ends into the hat. This will help it stand up. If you feel the need to, you can add some poly fil.
Use your hot melt adhesive to line the bottom of the hat with a layer of glue.
Attach the hat onto the ornament between the ears. Be careful not to glue the string you added between the ears.
Add a dab of glue onto the top of the hat and add a small white pom pom.
