Ever since I got
Martha Stewarts Handmade Holiday Crafts I've been dying to make these guys.

I made a couple of adjustments. I used bobbly wobbly eyes and folded the ears ...

... while hooking the candy cane through the ear loop at the back - which made them perk up a little. The mice are in browns and greys, with little red rudolph noses and colored ear inserts which match the color of their tails.

They are just as cute as I dreamed they would be.
UPDATE & TIP: If giving these guys as a gift to children - put them in a cellophane bag - little fingers rip these apart quicker than you can say quick. They also make cute Christmas tree decorations.
