Went to Home Depot this weekend and got my lime green! I wanted to do something creative with them, so I spruced them up a bit. Just wanted to share them with everyone here. I figured if anyone is looking for ideas for personalizing their lime green Mickey heads, this may help. If you have any questions, just send me a PM. Below is the pic and a detailed description of how I put them together:
I am providing the details for those who are interested. I used the Sonic Boom Mickey head paint swatch from Home Depot for the background. The letters were purchased at Staples and the stickers are from Michaels. I'm not quite finished with these yet. I will be taking them back to Staples to have them laminated. The example on the left will be used as a pin for our backpack. I added our user ID in the middle of the Mickey head, the word DIS on one ear and the year we joined the boards (2003) on the other ear. Once laminated, I will be using a small hole punch to place 2 holes at the top of the card between the ears and will attach the tag to the backpack with a safety pin. The other 2 cards will be tied to our luggage. Both cards have a front and back and are each displayed here. For this example, I glued 2 cards together. On one side I added our user ID in the center of the Mickey head and the word DIS along with the year we joined on the right ear. I will be punching the hole in the left Mickey ear, so I left it blank. The back of the card has DIS Boards Member in the center and this time I added the year we joined to the opposite ear since the hole will be in the right ear on this side. Once the tag has been laminated and the hole has been punched, I will be using lime green ribbon to attach to the luggage. The stickers of the characters were originally placed on the card to hide some of the writing on the paint swatches, but ended up adding a nice touch. I am really proud of these and wanted to share them with everyone. Hopefully I was able to give you some ideas for your lime green. I also want people who will be at WDW in May to be on the look out for us! We will be there from May 11-17. Hope to see you there!
