🛑 Need the Pull-Top Assembly Steps for the Disney-Inspired Pull-Top Stocking Gift Card Holders?

👉 Head over to my Pull-Top Stocking Gift Card Holder Tutorial for the full guide on how to assemble the base.
Once you’ve got the structure down, come right back here to add the magical details!

🎀 Minnie Mouse Disney Stocking Assembly 🎀
Minnie Mouse, like the others, follows the same general assembly but with her own signature style—because let’s be real, she wouldn’t have it any other way!
🔹 Before You Start: If you haven’t assembled your stocking base yet, head over to my Pull-Top Stocking Gift Card Holder Tutorial for step-by-step instructions! Once your base is ready, come back here to add the magical details!
1️⃣ Stocking Base:
✔ Cut the front stocking from Real Red Cardstock and the back stocking from CTMH White Daisy or Basic White Cardstock.
✔ Glue the edges together, leaving the top open for the pull-tab gift card pocket.
2️⃣ Polka-Dot Perfection:
✔ Die-cut 1-inch circles from White Daisy Cardstock and adhere them to the front of the stocking to mimic Minnie’s dress.
3️⃣ Heel & Toe Details:
✔ Die-cut medium-sized circles from Basic Black Cardstock.
✔ Adhere part of a circle to the front of the stocking for the toe and fussy cut the remainder.
✔ Repeat this process for the heel.
✔ Add white gel pen stitching to create a stitched fabric look.
4️⃣ Cuff & Iconic Ears:
✔ Die-cut two large black circles using Stampin’ Up! Deckled Circle Dies.
✔ Adhere them to the cuff to create Minnie’s signature ears.
5️⃣ The Signature Bow – The Star of the Show!
✔ Cut a bow shape from Real Red Cardstock and add ½-inch White Daisy Cardstock circles for the classic polka-dot pattern.
✔ Attach with foam tape to give it dimension AND function—it helps the stocking slide over Minnie’s face!
🚨 PRO TIP: Do NOT glue everything down just yet!
Before adhering, do a quick placement check:
✔ Insert the pull-tab topper inside the stocking.
✔ Position Minnie’s face in the black circle die on the stocking.
✔ Align the ears and bow on the cuff—the bow should slightly overlap Minnie’s face.
✔ Once everything lines up perfectly, adhere everything in place!
6️⃣ Holly & Christmas Magic:
✔ Cut holly leaves from Garden Green Cardstock and tuck them under Minnie’s face.
✔ Add clear adhesive-backed berries for a festive, dimensional touch.
7️⃣ Final Touches:
✔ Use a black gel pen to add faux stitching to the visible parts of the cuff.
✔ Apply Clear Shimmer Brush to the polka dots and bow for a subtle, frosty sparkle! ❄️✨
