Step 1: Cut the pointy bits out of your egg box

Carefully cut the pointy bits out of your egg box.

These are the dividers that sit between the egg cups inside the carton.

Try and cut them as low to the base as possible. Trim away any rough edges.

Step 4: Glue on the ears

Glue the felt ears onto the back of your mouse.

A glue gun works well or use some strong glue, such as fabric glue.

If you use PVA hold the ears in place for a minute or two until they stick.
