Show some love to your feline friends this Valentines with these DIY catnip mice. The ones I made are in my Etsy shop for an instant gift.
To make the mice you will need
- colored felt sheets
- embroidery floss
- 1/4 C (2oz) catnip mint per mouse
- sewing needle
- sharp scissors
- Cut your felt sheets into quarters
- Fold each quarter in half and cut out 1/2 heart shape with center of heart on the fold
- Cut half of your felt harts in half (for the top pieces)
- Leave half of the squares full hearts (for the bottom pieces)
- Cut a 3′ long piece of embroidery floss
- Sew 2 half hearts together with a whip stitch, sew a mouse nose, eyes, and whiskers
- Sew the two hearts together, filling with catnip mint before sewing shut
- Add a tail if you wish
