 | Fold the 1/4 sheet of paper in half again so you have a piece about the size of a index card.
|
| Turn the fold toward your stomach & draw a curving line from the left corner (this is the nose) to the right
side about 2.5" up from the fold.
|
| Do not unfold the paper, but cut on the curved line.
|
| Now glue the curved sides together.
|
| The straight side should be left open (this is for your finger to go
in)
|
| Punch a hole near the top corner (side opposite the fold) for the string to go in.
|
| Tie the string in the hole for the tail (Tasha's
into braiding right now, so we used 6 strings and braided the tail).
|
| Now glue the pompom or bead on the nose & add reinforcement or
wiggly eyes.
|
| A little ways up the curve glue the 2 pink circles on for the ears -- one on each side of
the 'mouse'. I usually just glue about 1/2 of them on the construction paper & let the other 1/2 stick up from the body.
I hope my directions are clear -- these are cute & the kids always
like making them!!
