To make a mouse costume, start with a hooded gray sweatshirt and sweatpants.  Make ears out of gray and pink felt, then sew or pin onto the hood.  Take a gray tube sock and fill with newspaper or fiberfill to make a tail.  Paint on a pink nose with a little lipstick and draw whiskers on with a little black eyeliner.
