Finger Puppet Furry Mice



These I sold for $1 each.  Very simple, very quick, minimal sewing.  You take a V of fake fur, fold it in half and machine sew it down the one side but leave the wide end open.  Knot a tail, sew the end of the tail down on the inside by hand or with the machine.  Push a wad of stuffing up into the face (just enough to go where the eyes are attached) and using a scissors you trim off the last ½” of fur tight to the head without cutting into the backing of the fabric. Sew the bead eyes on, then the felt ears, and you’re done.  Add whiskers out of fishing line if you want.
Some of them I added a thin V shaped wedge of white for the belly, so technically there’s two lines of sewing on those. But make sure the base of the mouse isn’t too wide for the finger, you need it to be small enough to not make it gap funny.  Well, unless you’re looking to make them as soda bottle or wine bottle toppers, that is.  Wider fits better then.
