Best Answer

No. Selling matchsticks was more or less a way to legally beg. In places were it was illegal to beg, they would 'sell' things instead. Matchsticks were an item at that point in time that worked well. Today it is more likely to be pencils. A simple item that people might want, but few would bother to take what they had just 'purchased.' Nobody would say, "I've run out of matches, go find a matchstick seller!" They would just go to the tobacconist or store and buy a box.

How do you make Minnie Mouse ears?

Unfortunately, you will not be able to find instructions for crocheting a Mickey Mouse doll. The reason being is that Mickey Mouse is covered by copyright laws or trademark laws, with Disney Productions (or some-such). From what I understand, Disney goes after most anyone who publishes instructions for a Character owned by Disney.I remember reading about this somewhere (I can't specifically remember). Disney doesn't want poorly made copies of their famous characters out in the public, to ruin the brand that they have created. Sorta' makes sense from a business sort of view.However, I have found places which sell copies of Disney characters ready to be cross-stitched. I'm not sure how the sellers are "getting away" with doing this, my personal guess would be that Disney hasn't gone looking for this in a while, so the sellers (specifically), haven't been told to "cease and desist."I would say the best way you could get a pattern for a Mickey Mouse would be to design it yourself, and make it for your personal use.
