It’s only autumn now. But for such Christmas loving person as me it’s always time to prepare or just to dream about the best time of the year. So I’m sharing with you today the very first of my Mouse patterns – Santa I made for my kids and our Christmas tree.


This and other Mouse ornaments are the perfect, handmade addition for you to work up and add to your Christmas decorations. Children will love them from year to year and can enjoy decorating the tree since they aren’t breakable!

You can use the ornament for making the Disney pin, magnet, hairpin or backpack clip. You can also use it for decoration of Christmas tree, tag for suitcase in Disney cruise, jewelry (using thinner yarn), bookmarks.

Or you can whip up and attach to gift tags on gifts for all the Disney fans in your life, and it will be a massive hit.
