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.
