Making a Mouse Ears Headband

You’ve got to be prepared with the proper accessories whenever you have a Disney adventure, so today I started making a mouse ears headband.

My headband is Belle themed as I am hoping to eat at the Be Our Guest restaurant on my next visit to Disney World. I purchase my Beauty and the Beast fabric at JoAnn.

Just saying “Disney” makes a project sound so much more exciting! So far I have gathered most of my supplies.

I also fussy cut the fabric for the ears to showcase Belle.

Finally, I put together the ears. I will make a full tutorial in the intermediate projects section of Learn to Sew once they are finished. The project could probably be classified as easy if you complete most of the steps using hot glue, but if you prefer to sew as I do, it adds a bit of complexity.

I got stuck on the headband! I can’t decide what color fabric to use. Choices, choices. I am horrible about deciding 🙂 I am leaning toward gold! We will see how it works out! I am excited to finish these.

Making Hexagons

Today I read part of Diane Gilleland’s book All Points Patchwork. I started making hexagons with the enormous amount of scraps that I have. It was actually quite relaxing.

The hexagons I used have 1 inch sides. I punched them out of cardstock using the Fiskars Extra Large Punch. It worked great. I also used a tip from the book and punched holes in the center for easier removal later. I will keep you posted on what I decide to make with them!
