Merry Mice

This Months Issue had a lot of Thanksgiving recipies! I couldn't, however, pass up these CUTE little mice!!

Cut a 6" long-teardrop-shaped body from a piece of red felt. Near the center, cut two parrallel slits that are 1 inch long and 1/2 inch apart. For a pair of ears, cut a 5" long rounded bow-tie shape from green felt. Fit the mouse together by putting the ears through the slits in the body. Glue on googly-eyes and a pom-pom nose. Add a curly tail by slipping a candy cane beneath the mouse and tucking the straight end between the body and ears to hold it in place.
