I was beyond excited to be invited to a media day for Pixar Fest at the Disneyland Resort.  Happening now through September 3, 2018, Pixar Fest is a celebration featuring the wonderful characters and friendships of beloved Disney/Pixar films.  From the amazing parades to the must-see fireworks presentation, it’s an event that you have got to experience.

When I received my invitation, I started brainstorming the important things.  What would I eat? The answer: all the things.  What would I wear? The answer: it had to be a Pixar Disneybound.

There are so many great characters from Pixar films.  I try to go mellow when I’m creating Disneybounds, which are real wardrobe pieces paying homage to Disney characters.  I opted for the aliens from the Toy Story movie franchise.  I knew I’d be eternally grateful if it came together easily, and it so did!  I grabbed a blue dress in bright blue and made a super easy DIY Toy Story bow inspired by the cute alien characters from the claw game.

Easy DIY Toy Story Alien Bow

Like every mama I know, my time is precious.  Any steps I can cut out to get the job done make me really happy.  If you’re like me, you’ll be thrilled to know that this bow is just a few supplies and even less of a time commitment.

Supplies:

• Purple bow
• Green felt
• Purple ribbon
• Googly eyes

Additional supplies needed:

• Glue gun
• Scissors

How to Make:

I found a kids’ boutique by my home that sells hair bows for $3.  Sure, I could buy ribbon and have a bow making factory.  But at that price, I’m just going to go ahead and skip a step.  If you’d rather make it yourself, you’ll need purple ribbon and a hair clip.

Using the green felt, I used these coloring pages as a guide for cutting out the right elongated oval.  You’re cutting an oval with two pointy ears and an antenna.

Using your hot glue gun, attach three googly eyes and ribbon for the purple collar.  Attach the alien face to your bow.

That’s it!  It took just minutes to get a DIY Alien Bow inspired by Toy Story.

Having three daughters, we swap out products and accessories all the time.  To get ready for Pixar Fest, I borrowed purple nail polish from my 8-year-old.  I know the benefits will only increase as they get older.  We’ve all taken turns wearing this DIY Toy Story Inspired Bow.

My littles wear headbands more often than I do, so this DIY Pixar Inspired Headband has been a favorite too.  You can check out how to make the no-sew bow here.

When I was checking out all of the fun of Pixar Fest, I was so excited to know that the Disney imagineers created such a comprehensive experience for guests.  Because shopping is one of my favorite things to do while in the parks, I was super pumped to check out the Pixar-themed products.  One of my favorite items, the interchangeable ears, are shown in this video.

I adore the Swap A Bows.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve got dozens of pairs of Mickey ears at my house with my own collection and my girls’.  Having the ability to swap out the decorative character bow on an ear base is appealing.  We try to live small, until it comes to our Disney collectibles.  Have you seen our living room?  Thankfully, my husband loves Disney as much as I do.  But in a house built in 1919 there isn’t a ton of storage.  So these interchangeable bows make storage a snap!

There are so many adorable pieces that you’ll need to hurry over to Pixar Fest to nab.  There are some pieces available within the Downtown Disney World of Disney store additionally, but within the parks is going to have the most variety.
