Chocolate Kiss Craft Mouse

Chocolate kiss craft mouse


This mouse Valentine craft is easy for you and the kids to make

and sweet to give away!



You’ll Need:

Chocolate Kisses (tear off the paper strip)

Chenille Stems (pipe cleaners) in red, pink or white

Small wiggle eyes

Small Pom-Poms

Yarn for the tail

Thread for the whiskers

Glue Dots

White or craft glue

Scissors
Craft Instructions:


Each mouse requires one chocolate kiss and one half of a chenille stem.

Make a loop with the chenille stem and twist the ends to make the mouse feet. Then bend the loop into a heart (see image). Attach a glue dot to the back edge of the chocolate kiss – I’ve marked where to place it on the image. Press the chenille heart against the glue dot, so that the kiss rests on the feet. Cut a yarn tail and press the end on the back of the kiss. There should be a bit of the glue dot still exposed for this purpose.



I used a little glue to add a message on the end of the heart.

Now use the craft glue to add the eyes, whiskers and nose.



Tip: To make the whiskers I tied a knot in the center of three pieces of thread and cut the ends.

Glue the whiskers first and then the nose on top.
