The Miniature Mouse House

The Miniature Mouse House

It was all my husband's idea. He came home from a visit to a secondhand shop with this little wire fronted cabinet. 'The perfect mouse house for the little mice you've been making,' he said.

  This was a really fun project to do. I covered the little beds (cut from individual portion cereal boxes) with handmade papers that had rose petals and string in them. The little embroidered motto says 'Bless This Mouse'. A couple of sessions with the polymer clay and all the food was made. The rope ladder is matchsticks tied with crochet cotton, the grandfather clock is a die cut pencil sharpener and the circular table with the teapot on it is the lid of a Berroca tablet container.
   All up, this project, including the cabinet, cost under $12. Low in cost, high in enjoyment!
