Pine Cone Mice Craft

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Instructions to make a mouse out of a pine cone submitted by Debbie.

Materials Needed:

  • Pine Cones
  • Felt
  • Pom-Poms
  • Wiggly Eyes
  • Yarn
  • Glue

Instructions:
With tiny felt circles for ears, tiny pom-poms for noses, a bit of yarn for tails, and wiggly eyes, they make cute mice. Sitting up or lying down. They might need a small base to keep them from tipping over, but a bit of grass or the like glued to a bit of cardboard can serve that purpose.

Varying the ears, tails, etc can make other critters, and a dab of black paint behind each eye of a sitting up one puts you well on the way to a raccoon.
