Mouse Nose & Whiskers

Mouse Nose & Whiskers
Debbie Colgrove, Licensed to About.com
Optional nose and whiskers: Thread a hand sewing needle with embroidery thread. Knot the thread approximately 3" from the end. Place the needle into the nose area. Make 4 stitches to form a nose, approximately 1/4" wide. Make a loop of thread for the opposite whisker and knot the thread in the nose area. Cut one end of the loop close to the nose and trim the remaining thread. Stiffen the "whiskers" with bees wax.
