Smile Merry Christmouse

I have a felt mouse decoration that I would like to make into wooden decorations for my grandchildren for Christmas.

I don't think transferring the basic shape to plywood will be a problem, but the tail/hanger is sort of fragile (actually, it is a candy cane, and 'way too thick.)

I am planning to use 1/8" ply, so would cutting a reasonably thin tail, then hardening with CA or Super Glue make it more durable, or, knowing that they will be given to grade school buffalo, should I ignore elegant, and just go with wire?

I would go with wire. I think you will save some time and some grief.
Be sure to post a picture when you are done. It sounds like a great project
