Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Large Mousetraps
• Kitchen/Bath Towels
• Small Hanging Brackets
• Glue Gun
• Flower Arrangements
• Mouse Faces
• Small Nails
• Small Craft Hammer

1. Turn the mousetrap over and nail one of the hanging brackets on to the back. Place it about 1 inch down from the top in the center. Turn the mousetrap back over and apply some glue from the glue gun on to the flower arrangement and then press it into place in the space right above the spring on the mousetrap.

2. Take the mouse face and apply some hot glue to the back of it and then place it right at the very top of the spring and press down gently into place. Let the glue dry for about 10 minutes.

3. After the glue dries, take one of the kitchen handtowels or bathroom handtowel and then fold it in half and then place the the fold under the clip part of the spring on the mousetrap.

4. Place a hanging bracket on the wall and place your art on the bracket. Display these cuties in your kitchen or your bathroom.

Tips & Warnings

• You can use any color and print of towels that you want.
• Be carful and not burn your fingers or hands while using a hot glue gun. The glue gun & the glue become extremely hot!
• Do not catch your fingers in the mousetrap when you place the towels under it.
