Before I go any further, here is a fun video from my show that goes through this whole Mickey Mouse Party…showing you how to make all of the projects and decor first hand!

The above red buckets are available in my shop. I simply glued on two white circles to make them look like Mickey Mouse. The same idea could also be used at a Minnie Mouse party…just get black buckets (or pink) and glue polka dots onto the buckets.

Make these hats out of regular red party hats from my shop and black paper circles. Simply attach two black paper circles to the back of the party hat.
