  • Print out and cut around your Pretty Kitten and Little Mouse templates.
  • Use the templates to cut out the two pink Pretty Kitten shapes from the pink felt and the two blue Little Mouse shapes from the pale blue felt.
  • Cut out two pairs of eyes from the black felt, plus a little brown nose and a little pink nose.
  • Also cut out two white cheeks and two pink ears for the mouse, and two pink heart-shaped ears for the kitten. If you like, cut out extra pink stripes for the kitten’s face.
  • Arrange all the little pieces for the faces on the head parts of the templates and use fabric glue to stick them in place.
  • Finish Pretty Kitten’s face by sewing on a little mouth and two eyelashes. Also sew a pink line to separate her front paws. Glue her head and body together.
  • Finish Little Mouse’s face by sewing on a little blue mouth and and black eyelashes, and gluing his head and body together.
  • Finally, cut two horizontal parallel slits, about 1.5 cm long, across the top of both bodies.
  • Slot a colourful candy cane through each slit so that the hooked ends make curly tails for Pretty Kitten and Little Mouse!

Give your Candy Cane Cuties to a special friend, attach them to presents or use them as placeholders at a Christmas party! You could even turn Pretty Kitty and Little Mouse into hanging ornaments! Aren’t they clever?
