Fox & Mouse Sharpie Ornaments Video Tutorial:

The Fox:

Step 1. Create a large U shape on the ornament with the bronze Sharpie…

Step 2. Give your fox a set of ears and nose. (It’s a little hard to explain…just try to create the shape I did! The video does a good job of showing this step.)–Think a Batman mask!

Step 3. Use the black Sharpie to add an oval for a nose, 2 upside down Us for eyes, and eyelashes.

Good job!

The Mouse:

Step 1. Create a raindrop shape on the ornament with a silver Sharpie.

Step 2. Add 2 ears to the top of the raindrop shape.

Step 3. Add an oval with your black Sharpie to the bottom of the raindrop shape for the nose. Add a few whiskers. And, of course, 2 ovals for eyes.

Bear & Owl Sharpie Ornaments Video Tutorial:

The Bear:

Step 1. Use the bronze Sharpie to create an oval towards the bottom of the Ornament.

Step 2. Use the silver Sharpie to create what looks like the top of a heart shape directly above the bronze oval. These will make the bear’s eyes.

Step 3. Use the black sharpie to add 2 ovals for the eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

Optional: Use the silver Sharpie to add additional ovals to the eyes and nose, as well as “whisker spots.”

The Owl:

Step 1: Use the gold Sharpie to create a large circle around the ornament.

Step 2. Continue using the gold Sharpie to create the top of the owl’s head (the shape created will look similar to the top of a heart).

Step 3. Use the silver Sharpie to add 2 large circles for the eyes.

Step 4. Use the bronze Sharpie to create a triangle nose from one eye to the other.

Step 5. Use the black Sharpie to add small circles to the eyes.

3. Add spots randomly about the ornament (black Sharpie). be sure to add one or two around the eyes.
4. Draw a line around the bottom of the ornament (yellow Sharpie). this is the collar.
5. Outline the line with black Sharpie.

Minion Sharpie Ornaments:

2. Draw a black line across where the eyes are (don’t color the eyes!), all the way around the ornament.
3. Create 2 large circles around the eyes (black Sharpie). these are the goggles.

For the record: my kids said I didn’t make the eyes big enough for the Minion. I guess those goggles need to be massive!! Live and learn, and don’t ask kids!
