I made a few of the mice to put atop of the grandkids gifts this year. They will love them. Thanks for the idea.
Today (December 23) I posted an entry on my blog with a link to this tutorial.
Would you let me know if that’s OK?
Thanks,

Loving the holiday cheer around here! That little mouse is adorable. ๐
Darling little mouse. I love it!
Oh, nostalgia… I remember making the reindeers in elementary & my grandmother always had the little mice on her tree. Fantastic!
I remember making the reindeer candy canes all the time when I was little. I think I may have to make them this year with my kids. Thanks so much for sharing!
What a great idea, we’ll try these for the classroom!
So cute! I’ve seen the reindeer but never the mouse.
Thank you so much! I lam doing the mouse craft with my Brownie scouts. I had looked for a template this weekend and couldn’t find one, this will make my meeting go so much smoother!
Adorable! I love these ๐
Ha, I remember making the reindeer ones for gifts one year when I was a kid…so funny, I’ll have to remember that one this year for my son’s kindergarten class. Thanks!
So cute! Tell your friends I’ve got giveaways.
What a great idea! I think we are going to try one of these (or both) this year for daycare.
Thanks!
