2. Wine Cork Mouse
This adorable cork mouse is made with a champagne cork and wine cork.
Supplies
- cork
- 20 pound 19 gauge wire needle
- nose pliers five ball and straight pins
- wire cutters
- yarn ribbon fabric or yarn ribbon
- hot glue
- a box cutter or exacto knife
- scissors
- cutting surface
Directions
Make three 4 to 5 inch wire pieces. Twist one end of two of them with pliers to look like leaves. Use a box cutter to cut two small round pieces, between 1/8 and 1/4 inch, from a wine cork. Spin the cutter around the cork to make the pieces. These will be the mouse’s ears. To make notches for the ears, measure the cork and cut two small grooves. Put glue on the cork ears and place them in the grooves. Use round pins for the face and arms. For the eyes, cut the pins shorter. Stick the pins in the cork for the eyes and nose. You can use bigger pins for the arms. The twisted wires will be the legs. Put them in the front of the cork. The straight wire is the tail, which helps the mouse stand. Put the wire in the back of the cork and bend it so the mouse can balance. Adjust the wires to make the mouse stand up. Use yarn, fabric, or ribbon to decorate your mouse. Tie a piece of fabric or ribbon around its neck to make a scarf. Have fun making your own unique mouse!
