Make these cute Mickey Mouse Bowtie Lanyards for your next trip to Disneyland
Cute DIY Disney Lanyards can set you up for amazing travel pictures, AND they keep your ticket and FastPass right where you need it, so you don’t miss out on the fun!
This is one quick and easy tutorial that’s more inspiration than perspiration.
My daughter was taking a school trip to Disneyland and I caught her and her friend planning their outfits, to make sure that their pictures would be coordinated and ready to share.
So….enter mom with a quick sewing project that’s practical and matches those Disney outfits.
For this project you need:
A lobster clip (that’s what they call they fastener at the end of a lanyard.
Several ribbons approximately 26 inches in length in Disney colors
That’s it!
How to:
- To make the lanyards more interesting, we decided to layer the ribbon that would form the neck strap and sew the two pieces together with a simple straight stitch.
- Then pull one end of the ribbon through the lobster clip, followed by the other end. Stitch in place.
- To make Mickey’s bow tie to add to the bottom of the lanyard, cut two pieces of ribbon 26 inches in length.
- Bend the first ribbon, end to end to form a ribbon circle. Overlap the ends and use a dot of hot glue to hold it in place.
- Make a second circle over the first and glue.
- Then pinch the middle of the two ribbons to form a bow and hold in place with a little glue.
- I cut a small piece of ribbon to use as the center of the bow tie and wrapped it around the gathered center of the bows.
- Sew the bow tie onto the lanyard just above the lobster clip.
Lanyards are such an easy way to keep track of your ticket to any event. And now you can make a lanyard to match your outfit or your next event.
I’m already planning my lanyard for ComicCon – because I am that nerdy!
