These adorable pom pom mice are inspired by the Mouse King from the iconic Nutcracker ballet! This craft can double as a place setting as well as a tiny little friend to play with after the party is over. Since they're so easy to create, you can make a ton in an assortment of different colors. Kids will love their new tiny mouse friends!
Using a glue gun, attach Jet Black Cut Crystal Round Beads to a large Yarn Pom-Pom. The black beads are the eyes of the mouse so make sure to use the smallest beads in the assortment.
For the whiskers, snip six small strands of Clear Stretchy Cording and hot glue three small strands on each side of the pom. Next, add a red bead from the Christmas Winter Pearl Bead Assortment using hot glue to the top of the whiskers.
Hot glue a large Yarn Pom-Pom to the head of the mouse and allow the hot glue to dry completely.
Using scissors, cut little half circles out of pink paper from the Full Color Spectrum Paper Pack and attach them to the top of the mouse head using hot glue.
Download our free place cards then print onto Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium Cardstock. Cut out using a Scrapbooking Paper Trimmer and place them on top of the mice so your little guests can find their seats.
