Got the Christmas ornaments done for this year. Made mice. Running out of Ideas. I think this is the 15th year I have made ornaments to give away. I used a 1.5 X 1.5 X 2.75 blank and they ended up about 2.25" long. A tear drop shape made the best looking bodies IMO. They're finished with Shellac.
The eyes and nose are sewing pins. Cut the head off a pin to use as a drill bit. Cut the black heads off leaving appx. .5" of pin to insert into the holes and no glue was required. Here is where I bought them.

The tails are pipe cleaners cut to 3" pieces and glued into drilled holes. Purchased them here.

For the ears I used .5" X .5" blanks and turned an ear shape.
Cut them down the middle on the band saw and glued them in drilled holes. Couple of them broke off while sawing. Dang-It. Can always make more I guess.
