Instructions

  1. Download the template for the mice and cut out.



  2. With a pencil, trace ears and body onto felt and cut out.



  3. Cut inner ears and a dot for a nose from felt in a contrasting color, cut dots for eyes from black or use beads.

  4. Glue the face and inner ears in place.



  5. Make slits in body for ears and candy-cane tail where marked; to make cutting easier, fold felt across center of slits, and snip.

  6. Slip ears through slits at front; then slide wrapped candy cane through body slits, tucking the end underneath the ear piece at the back.
