Step 1
Paint the entire outside of a small clay pot gray. Let all of the paint dry before moving to the next step.
-
Step 2
Place the painted clay pot face down on a flat surface. The bottom of the pot should be pointing upward.
-
Step 3
Cut two circles for mouse ears out of gray craft felt. Cut two smaller circles for the insides of the ears out of white craft felt.
-
Step 4
Glue the white circles inside of the gray felt circles to form the ears of the mouse. Attach them to the bottom of the clay pot to form the top of the mouse's head.
-
Step 5
Roll a piece of yarn into a nest shape. Use hot glue to attach it to the top of the clay pot between the two ears to form fur on the head of the mouse.
-
Step 6
Place two dots of hot glue onto the front of the clay pot. Apply the two wiggly craft eyes to them.
-
Step 7
Attach a small black button with glue to the clay pot below the wiggly eyes to form the nose of the mouse.
-
Step 8
Cut a gray pipe cleaner in half with scissors.
-
Step 9
Hot glue one half of the gray pipe cleaner to the back of the clay pot near the bottom. This will form the tail of the mouse.
-
Step 10
Shape the pipe cleaner into a wavy tail.
-
Step 11
Use glue to attach a piece of yarn or string to the top of the clay pot mouse ornament. Hang it on a tree, garland or wreath around your home. Visit the Resources section below for more information on other Christmas ornament crafts.
