Mickey Mouse Party ... Mickey Head Banner and Hot Diggity Dog Station

Now on to a fun Mickey Mouse Banner with Caden's face and the coolest Hot Diggity Dog Station. Simple but fun things that makes the party theme worthy!

I started with this fun banner made with mickey mouse heads I cut out on my circuit using the Mickey Mouse & Friends Cartridge. I saw a couple of ideas on Pinterest and kind of ran with it.

What you Need:

Heavy Black Card Stock - Cut in Mickey Mouse Heads / One triangle

Heavy Red Card Stock - Cut in Mickey Mouse Head / One Triangle

Photos - I did black and white and blew up so it was a close up pic of his face

Circle Cutter

Ribbon

Glue

Using my circuit cartridge I cut out Black Mickey Heads and one Red Head to be my center. I blew up 3 pictures of Caden and printed on my printer and used my circle cutter to cut out the head in a nice clean circle. I then glued the picture of Caden onto a Mickey Mouse heads. Hot glue is my friend but you can use whatever glue you like. I then measured out ribbon for how long I wanted the banner to be. I glued done Mickey Heads to the ribbon and tried to space them out evenly. I made a triangle with one color on bottom and then cut some holes of the 2nd triangle and placed on top so you could have a peek a boo of the 2nd color. I placed this on the red mickey head to be like a party hat. When done I tied it up to my parents gazebo!

Next on the list was to do a fun Hot Diggity Dog Station I found this idea on Catch My Party. This was so fun and everyone thought it was such a cute idea!

What You Need:

Hot Dogs

Ketchup

Mustard

Relish

Mayonnaise

Pickles

Cut up Red and/or White Onions

Cheese

Buns

Frito's (to top the chili dogs if they want also)

I found really cute hot dog size plates they look like the ones you get at a ball field. I found them at Target in their $1 bins, SCORE!! I set those out and I found also at Target in the clearance section a set that holds the Ketchup, Mustard and Relish. The other sides I found these really cute little cups at the dollar store that were perfect fit for the other condiments. I had my dad working the grill and we even toasted the buns for those who wanted it. The perfect treat for all.

I even made Homemade Chili for those who wanted Chili Dogs! I found this recipe for Chili Dogs on Simply Recipes, I added chili beans, Red Kidney Beans and Black Beans because chili is not chili with out beans to us!

And for those who love lil' Smokies I took a crescent roll cut it in half and wrapped the lil' Smokie like a mini pig in a blanket. I made 72 of those suckers and they went like hot cakes!
