How to make Mickey charms

How to make Mickey charms (or knitting stitch markers)

Charm bracelets are a fun easy way to add some Disney to your wardrobe. Its also a good conversation starter in lines the ride lines at Disney.  This project can be done with little O’mouses.

Here is what you will need:

Materials:

EK Success Medium Mickey punch - Buy on Amazon

Sharpies - Buy on Amazon

Shrinkerz

2 sets of pliers

Hole punch

Scissors

Jump rings small and large

Pre made charm bracelet (not pictured)

1. Color the front and back of the Shrinkerz

2. Punch out your shape. 

3. Fill the space as best you can. 

4. Cut off the extra parts. I will make it easier to punch out the next row of mickey shapes.

5. Use the hole punch to punch a hole for the jump ring.

6. Bake the Shrinkerz following the directions on the package. 

7. Open the small ring using pliers. Hint: open the ring by twisting front to back. Don’t pull the ring open. It closes easier if you twist it open.

8. Put the Mickey shape and the large ring on the small ring.

9. Use the pliers to twist the ring closed.

10. Now you have a charm.

11. I was going to make my own bracelet but I found it was cheaper buy one already made.

I love to knit and one day a few knitting friends and I were making stitch markers to SWAP at a festival. Well I love everything Disney and had to find a way to add some Disney into my knitting projects.

When you knit you use little charms to mark different spots in your knitting to keep track of where you are in the pattern.
