 | Print out the template (see bottom of this page)
|
| Cut out the template pieces
|
| Scotch tape the mouse body template to one of the pieces of grey felt.
 | Cut the shape from the felt |
| I scotch tape templates onto felt instead of pinning them as I find it
easier... it doesn't "buckle" as much. It's very easy to
just pull any tape off the felt after cutting |
| Make sure you scotch tape liberally!
|
|
| Repeat with the second piece of felt.
|
| Scotch tape the large ear circle to the grey felt and cut out.
Repeat a second time
|
| Scotch tape the small ear circle to the grey felt and cut out.
Repeat a second time
|
| Hot glue the ear middles to the ears.
|
| Sew the two beads and the ears onto one of the body halves.
|
| put the two body pieces together and hot glue
them, leaving a space at the bottom to add stuffing.
|
| Do a 2 to 4 inch section at a time (so the
glue doesn't harden on you).
| The less experienced you are with hot glue, the shorter the
section should be. |
| I usually have my daughter use a popsicle stick to press
pieces together without getting any of the heated glue on her
skin... I just use my fingers. |
| My 9 year old daughter has been able to use my "low temp
craft glue gun" with supervision for a couple of years.
|
|
| Fill with stuffing and catnip and glue shut
