1. Glue the hole-end of the Head Bead inside the open end of the Candle Cup.

2. For arms, cut a 1 " long section from each end of a Craft Stick. To cut the stick, first score it with a sharp knife on the line to be cut, and then break the stick on the scored line. Glue the arms to the sides of the Candle Cup, just below the upper rim.
3. From lightweight cardboard, cut 2 ears, 1 tail and 1 bow. Glue the inner curves of the ears to the top of the head. Curl one end of the tail by pulling the cardboard across the blade of a pair of scissors or across the edge of a table. Glue the curled end in place to hold. Glue the straight end of the tail to the back of the body.
4. Draw the jacket and shirt of the mouse. Paint the Mouse gray, the shirt white and the jacket blue. Paint the bow tie red and glue it to the front of the Mouse when the paint is dry. Make the features and the flower and heart trim with felt markers. Make the eyes, nose and the lines on the Bow tie black. Make the flower centers yellow and the mouth, hearts and flowers red. Make the leaves and scrolls green. If desired, apply a coat of Mod Podge for a nicer finish.
