I am unsure why, however delicate pretzels formed like Mickey Mouse simply style higher. And if I am turning iconic Disney snacks into felt ornaments, a Mickey pretzel was a should!
Now, this one appears a little bit totally different than the precise pretzels, which you’ll be able to see under. However imagine me once I inform you that it seemed SUPER bizarre once I was attempting to make this match. Actually, even Disney themselves modified the look once they launched the pretzel objects of their Disney Snacks merch line earlier this yr.
Check out the comparability and inform me that that is nonetheless a Mickey Pretzel. Proper?
These pictures inform a narrative. It begins with me deciding that I wished an image of a Mickey pretzel in entrance of the Pixar Pal-A-Spherical, previously Mickey’s Enjoyable Wheel. However there aren’t plenty of locations which have Mickey prezels at Disney California Journey. So I took a photograph close to the Animation Academy (near the place I acquired my pretzel!). However then I made a decision that my favourite wall in all of Disneyland was RIGHT there, so this was a great place for a photoshoot. You realize…me in my ears…having fun with a pretzel with ears.
We then hike over to get the picture with Mickey within the background and my sister gasps! “You truly took a chew? However what about your picture?!?” And I instructed her that it was simply as genuine this manner. And it tasted nice too!
Now here is the news on making this decoration. Every decoration on this collection goes collectively the identical means, which is just about the identical as a lot different felt applique ornaments. This one is simply simpler. You possibly can watch my YouTube video displaying an decoration from begin to end. (It is a totally different sample, however you may get the concept!).
This design has only one piece for the pretzel itself after which a bunch of french knots for the salt. You have gotta have the salt.
I used wool mix felt from Benzie Design (affiliate hyperlink). I reduce the circles with my Circles and Scallops die, additionally from them, however you need to use the circle templates within the PDF with plain or ornamental scissors if you would like.
I used freezer paper to chop the pretzel form and punctiliously reduce out the middle sections.
You possibly can embroider the small print via the paper earlier than fastidiously tearing it away, however it’s truly simpler for this one to take away the freezer paper and freehand the stitching. You can even use seed beads for the salt when you’d favor!
Subsequent, I sewed the pretzel right down to the entrance circle with a tiny whip sew and two strands of embroidery floss.
To assemble the decoration I used operating sew across the edges, then I crammed in with a second spherical of operating sew. That is technically holbein sew and it appears the identical on the back and front.
Then I simply used embroidery floss to make a little bit hanger. Apart from the salt french knots, this can be a quick one to make and ideal for any Disney Snack fan. After all, now I am questioning if I ought to have added a little bit cup of “plastic cheese”!
