Step-by-Step Tutorial:

1. Prepare Your Tools & Materials: Gather your glue gun, crafting scissors, sharp sewing scissors, a razor blade, and a pencil. For tracing the shapes, I used an 8 ¼ inch plate and 4-inch coasters. You can adjust the sizes to your preference, but these worked perfectly for my design. I used 10 mm macrame rope, but you can adjust the size depending on the size of your project.
2. Trace Your Template: Using a white foam board, trace the template for Mickey & Minnie’s heads. I like to place the template near the edges of the foam board to minimize waste, leaving space for other projects. You only need to trace a half-circle for this, as we are focusing on the head and ears.
3. Cut the Foam Board: Using a razor blade, score the foam board along your traced lines. If the cut doesn’t go all the way through, you can use scissors to finish cutting the shape out. It helps to cut the foam board down into smaller sections for easier handling.
4. Make Additional Templates: If you plan to make multiple ghosts, I recommend creating a paper template from a paper bag or other material to reuse. For this project, I traced another foam board template for Minnie.
5. Attach the Macrame Cord: Begin by gluing the macrame cord around the outside edge of your foam cutout. As you work, twist the rope to prevent it from unraveling, making sure to fully cover the outer edge. Work around Mickey’s ears until you’ve completed a full loop.
6. Create the Ears: After closing off the main shape, add a generous amount of glue to where the ears will be. Twist the rope and press it into the glue, forming a circle. Continue circling the cord, like forming a cinnamon roll, until the ear is complete. Add extra glue where needed to secure it in place.
7. Shaping & Securing: As you work, shape the macrame cord around the foam form to ensure everything lines up smoothly. If you spot any gaps or loose ends, use a skewer stick or cuticle stick to push fibers back into place with a dab of glue.
8. Create Mickey & Minnie’s Faces: Draw a simple face template on the foam board using a pencil. I debated whether to include a smile, but ultimately decided to go for it. You can design the face however you like—just make sure it looks how you envision Mickey or Minnie’s spooky-yet-cute face.
9. Add Minnie’s Bow: For Minnie’s bow, I made my own using a fabric that I loved, but you can use any fabric or material you prefer. Simply attach the bow with hot glue between Minnie’s ears to complete her look.
10. Final Touches: Once everything is glued in place, add a small loop to the back of your ghost using leftover macrame cord for easy hanging. Secure the loop with extra glue and wrap the ends for reinforcement. If you want, you can also add extra details like Minnie’s eyelashes or any additional embellishments you prefer.
