Start creating your custom Minnie Mouse centerpiece by cutting two 5" circles our of black cardstock to use as Minnie Mouse ears in the centerpiece. We used our Cricut machine to create these ears but you can also use a circle cutter, a large hole punch or cut by hand.

Next you will need to create Minnie Mouse's classic bow using a bot of hot glue and some pink satin ribbon. Cut an eight inch length of ribbon and fold it so the ends of the ribbon meet in the center. Then pinch the center together. Now cut a one inch length of the same ribbon and wrap it around the center of the bow and secure it in place with more hot glue. This will create Minnie's classic bow shape.
