This was one of my most popular crafts to sell in the 60s. The foam is not the same now as back then, but it is more dense and easier to work with. A great little tuck-in gift for secret pals, friends, and loved ones.
Approximate Time:
You can cut a small piece for the tail as the photo shows, or you can draw it on as the template shows. You can draw the eye on or you can use the wiggly eye and half a sequin. Also, if you can find alphabet macaroni, you can glue it on in place of the sign, spelling out "I'LL START MY DIET TOMORROW."
The instructions are also in a PDF file for which you may need Acrobat Reader to view. Download Acrobat Reader
