I cut out a piece of gray fabric that turned out looking like the cut out spot here. The idea is to have a cone shaped face. |
Trim off the excess to have a flat open end and glue gun the seam shut. |
I attached beads for eyes with heavy duty black thread. I prefer French knots using embroidery cotton but I was feeling hurryish today. |
Using the same thread doubled, insert a needle through the end. |
To keep the whiskers from falling out, shove a glue gun down the face and add a blob. |
Poke a stabby thing into the nose to really make sure the whiskers are bonded. |
Trim your whiskers. |
Place the head onto paper and draw a circle around the head. |
Then add ears. This is your pattern for the back of the head plus ears. |
Cut out two Mickey Mouse shapes. Hi Mickey! |
Glue one of them and stick them together. |
Stuff the face. |
Glue the face to the back of the head. |
I used an anchovy tin for the bed, you can use any tin with a peel away lid that has a pull tab. Glue a piece of fabric inside, this will be the blanket. |
Stuff some stuffing in there. Just stuff it! |
I decided to go rough and rustic because this is a traveling mouse. Make a pillow for him that's going to be within scale of the head. Stuff it with stuffing or stuff. |
Crazy adorable and fits in a pocket. Take him with you everywhere you go, and don't forget to take pictures.
