How to do it

  1. 1

    Paint one half of a paper plate red and the other half black, then let it dry.

  2. 2

    Cut two black circles from cardstock for the ears, sized about half the plate's width.

  3. 3

    Tape the black circles to the back of the plate as ears.

  4. 4

    Glue two small white circles onto the red half as Mickey's pants buttons.

Tips & extensions

Acrylic paint dries faster. Cardstock holds up better than regular paper for the ears.
