Altoid Valentine

The Altoid Valentine

I don't know how many of you are Pinterest Fans but boy am I! What a remarkable site. 
 If you haven't checked out my Pinterest page look on the lower left of this Blog and the Link will take you to my page.

I found this darling mouse project using an Altoid can.  I have now made several of these for my favorite  very "little" people I know for Valentines Day.!

I first made a little pattern for the mouse and cut it out of felt.  I sewed the body and then turned it inside out.  I cut the legs and arms also out of felt and hand stitched them on.
  I also stitched around the edges so the arms and legs can move into positions.

Altoid  Mouse

Using pink felt I cut out two ears.  I folded them together at the bottom.
 I stitched them together and then added them to the back of the head.

I added embroidered eyes and a little heart ....just in time for Valentines Day.
 I then made the bedding and the pillow out of coordinated fabric.

Hello...Hug Me Valentine!

Use any fabrics of your choice.
 However, I did like the way the thicker felt worked for the form of the bunny and the durability of his arms and legs.
Tuck your little mouse into its bed and shut the lid.  Wrap with a bow and make your little friends
 VERY HAPPY on Valentines Day!
Pinterest.... what a Wonderful Creation!
Have a Wonderful Day Friends!
