For If You Give a Mouse a Cookie:

• Cut two layers each of round shaped ears from gray felt, and two smaller pink felt inner ear pieces. Hot glue the ear pieces together.
• Pinch the bottom of each ear and hot glue it in place. This gives the ear more shape.
• Hot glue the ears to the headband.
• Create the tail:
• Cut two matching long skinny triangles for the tail from pink felt.
• Twist about 3 pipe cleaners together for strength, and hot glue it sandwiched between the two felt tail layers.
