I made these little cuties for Lily's sixth birthday party.  I got the original idea from Martha Stewart.   

I iced the bodies blue and used yellow icing to make a bead of icing down the center.  I broke off the bottom of the pretzels and them stuck them in the icing.  I then added another bead of yellow icing to try to hide the bottom of the pretzels and make sure they had enough icing to stick.  I used M&M's to make the eyes.  I think mini-M&M's would have worked better.  

The kids loved them and I think they turned out cute.  My dearest little love Megan took these pictures.
