Candy canes.
A favorite Christmas treat!
Candy Cane Mice
(We made these when my kids were young.)
Supplies: Candy canes, felt, wiggly eyes or dark colored beads, small pompoms,
dark colored stiff thread/fishline, white glue, scissors
Cut out the two felt pieces.
Make three small cuts in the mouse body where marked.
Glue eyes, whiskers and nose. Let dry.
Insert ears.
Slide candy cane into tail cut and through the back of the ears to secure.
Hang by their tails from the Christmas tree. Or use in place of a bow on a wrapped gift.
Those are so cute! I'm going to make a few of those!

These arre just too cute. I know kids would love them. Have a lovely rest of the week
ReplyDeleteVery cute! We need something to do with our candy canes. We buy them for their looks, but no one ever wants to eat them.
ReplyDeleteI have one of these that my son made in kindergarten. In fact this year I replaced the original candy cane. I thought it might be a good idea since he is 22 now. LOL.
ReplyDeleteCute little mice. Thanks for the Saturday Finds tip on bottle brushes.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, your tree is lovely and I LOVE those mice with their candy tails! Catherine x
ReplyDeleteLove the little mousers! My Clyde would be after them.

How lovely they are....
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. Your little mice here are just so darling, love them! I used an empty can that size...like a tomato puree can etc. Cans can be used many ways for cooking, I have even baked bread in the tall ones! I think the potato just adds moisture and body. :D
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, I bet the kids love them and even big people too.
ReplyDeleteAren't these just adorable??? I did this with Kid's Church last year. This year we're doin' Hershey's Kiss Angels.
ReplyDeleteHave ya seen the candy cane reindeer??? They are cute too.
God bless ya and have a splendid holiday season sweetie!!!!
Eep - so cute! And of course, you can never have too many candy canes ;)!
ReplyDeleteHoliday Blessings to you!
