Mum makes adorable Minnie Mouse Christmas wreath for just £7
A THRIFTY mum has revealed how she managed to make a Disney-inspired Christmas wreath – for just £7.
Elisa Ward, from Staffordshire, decided to incorporate her love for all things Disney into her festive decorations this year.
Elisa, 30, decided to get stuck in and make a wreath for her front door.
Elisa, who has four kids aged between two and 13, headed to Hobbycraft where she picked up some essentials.
The mum bought some wreaths made from twigs from the craft store, using smaller ones for the Mickey Mouse ears.
She used florist tape to attach some leftover decorations, including berries, bows and holly, as well as some battery-operated lights.
Elisa shared a snap of the finished product to Facebook group, where it racked up hundreds of likes.
She said: “Made a Disney Minnie Mouse wreath for my front door!
“All items from hobby craft! Cost around £7 in total!!
“I added lights so will light up pretty at night. All that’s needed is the bits from Hobbycraft and spare decorations/lights from home.
“All held together by florist tape. Very easy to do and took less than 30 mins to make.”
People praised her skills, commenting on how “amazing” and “great” her handiwork was.
Elisa told LatestDeals.co.uk: “I’m really pleased with how it turned out. I have had over 200 likes and comments on Facebook about it and I notice lots of people looking as they walk past my door.
“I really enjoyed making it and this has given me the confidence to try other DIY decorations in the future!"
Explaining exactly how she made it, Elisa started off by putting the smaller wreaths around the larger one where she wanted the ears to go, and secured it with florist tape.
She then laid out where she wanted to put the berries and ivy, and wound them through the twigs to secure them.
Elisa then wrapped fairy lights around the wreath, and secured it with florist tape at the back.

She added: “Using the wire that attaches the bow to the card I simply pushed this through the twigs on the wreath and twisted to secure.
“Thread a piece of ribbon through the twigs on the wreath just above the placement of the bow. Knot it and pull so the knot is hidden at the back of the wreath.”
Tom Church, co-founder of , said: “I can’t believe this amazing wreath cost just £7 to make!
“Any Disney fans who love a craft project should try this out this Christmas – what could be better than when Disney meets Christmas?!”
