Instructions

  1. Small photo 1 1303243656

    Grab some old magazines, advertisements, flyer, and junk mail. We are going to put these to good use :)

  2. Small photo 2 1303244592

    Rip out a page with some funky colors. Fold it in half (the hot dog way) and either rip or cut it in half.

  3. Small photo 1 1303245062

    Take one of the halves and fold in in half (the hot dog way)

  4. Small photo 2 1303245076

    Open it up and fold the ends to the center crease.

  5. Small photo 3 1303245101

    Fold the ends to the center crease again.

  6. Small photo 4 1303245115

    Put glue on one side...

  7. Small photo 5 1303245115

    Fold it in half.

  8. Small photo 1 1303245170

    Roll up the Strip.

  9. Small photo 2 1303245167

    When you reach the end you can either tape it or hot glue it. If you use regular glue you have to put pressure on the roll until the glue dries or it will come undone.

    Make two more rolls. One the same size and one much bigger. To make the bigger roll, make one roll and then tape or glue another strip to it, roll it up, and tape/glue it. You can do this for the ears to if you want to make your pendant bigger.

  11. Small doodlebuddy 1303247138

    Using a hot glue gun, glue together the rolls in the shape of minnie mouse.

  12. Small photo 1 1303247516

    Grab your wire and measure it so when the pendant is attached it can hang from your neck and go over your head. Hot glue it as shown.

  13. Small photo 2 1303247518

    To make the bow, cut out a small rectangle from your magazine/ad that is slightly bigger than the space between the ears. <-----

  14. Small photo 3 1303247532

    Fold the rectangle like a fan, open it up, and pinch the center. Take your ribbon and tie it around the center. Cut off the excess ribbon and hot glue the bow between the two ears of your minnie mouse.
