Approx. 10 cm (4 inches) with the mouse on a bauble.

• Yarn:
  “YarnArt Baby” - acrylic 100% (50 g. - 150 m);
  Gray - for the mouse;
  Red or any other color - for the bauble;
  White - for the eyes;
  Pink – for the nose, ears and tail;
  You can use any smooth yarn, acrylic, wool, etc but it should be of the same thickness to make sure it will be suitable for the size of the Styrofoam bauble (you can use stuffing instead of a bauble)
• Styrofoam bauble – 5 or 6 cm/ 2 inches in diameter.
• Stuffing for toys – Fiberfill;
• Long tapestry needle (for sewing using yarn);
• Sewing needle;
• Black thread (for embroidering the middle of the eye);
• Steel Crochet hook for the mouse – I used 1.75 mm or use any other suitable size for the selected yarn;
• Crochet hook for the bauble – I used 2.25 mm or use any other suitable size for the selected yarn;
• A pair of half-beads with diameter of 5 mm (2 pcs.) or black thread if you want to embroider the eyes;
• 1 black bead for the nose – 8 mm or crochet the nose with pink yarn
• Glue for attaching the half-beads to the head
• Embellishment for decorating the bauble.
• Fishing line to make whiskers.
