The Mickey that started it all!

Perhaps our most popular item in our Etsy shop is our special Mickey inspired banner. I have to say, we are pretty darn proud of this one! It's completely unique and therefore it draws a lot of attention. :) Don't get me wrong, the typical Mickey themed banners and such are ADORABLE and we will probably end up making a few because they are popular for a reason! But this one is just so different, we HAVE to share it.

We originally made this for a good friend of mine's son's first birthday party. She was our first official customer too! It was so awesome of her to hire us right when we were getting started!  (Thanks, Jess!!!!)

As you can see, the Mickey ears are a little funky and swirly so it adds a new twist to the usual Mickey silhouette! We then used five different kinds of patterned paper and seven kinds of ribbon to tie all together! so TONS of detail in this one, giving it a very rich look!

Anyway, people liked this banner so much that it lead to a lot of different spin offs! :) We LOVE spinoffs! Lots of room for  new creativity! Here is a name banner we did for an Etsy client in DE:

And a name banner in a Minnie Mouse inspired theme!!! Can't forget Minnie!! (especially since Natalie went as Minnie for her first Halloween!!) :)  So we used some different ribbon and replaced the red paper with pink and created this ADORABLE pink polka dot bow for her. And of course, put the bow off to the side because with the funky ears, this isn't a traditional in the middle of the head kind of banner!

Usually we make our banners three tiered because most house walls can accommodate that better than one LOOOOOOOOOONG banner. So we made this one for another etsy client in LA. We added an extra set of Mickey heads and were really happy with the way that it turned out! :)

So see, lots can come out of a single item! :) So if you see something you like, we can expand and change to make it EXACTLY what you want!
