DIY Mickey + Minnie Mouse Family Costume

These costumes are so near and dear to my heart!! We are huge Disney fans, so we had to do a classic DIY Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Halloween costume. And to turn it into a family costume: add in Mickey’s #1 Fan!

These costumes are so easy to create and are sure to be an iconic hit in your trick-or-treating neighborhood. You can even use some items from your closet if you have them! A great family costume idea for all ages.

DIY Mickey Mouse Costume Tutorial

Here’s the steps for making a Mickey costume:

1. Cut out two white ovals and hot glue them onto the front of the red shorts.
2. Cut out six small black tear drop shops and hot glue them (three each) to the white toddler gloves.
3. Assemble outfit!

How To Make a Minnie Mouse Costume

Here’s how to make Minnie’s costume:

1. Paint half sphere red and let dry.
2. Hot glue a felt “rim” around the sphere to creat the hat.
3. If you’re making a felt flower, cut out from white felt and add a yellow center. Hot glue the flower stem on top of the sphere.
4. If the hat you made is too wide to fit between the Mickey ears you bought, you can cut the material (NOT the actual hard headband, just the fabric) and separate the two ears slightly. Then glue the hat in place!
5. Cut out a bunch of white felt polka dots and hot glue them to the blue skirt.
6. Cut out six elongated black tear drop shops and hot glue them (three each) to the white gloves.
7. Assemble outfit!

For the Mickey fan, all you need to do is assemble the outfit. Easy peasy!
