Instructions

    • 1

      Draw or trace a mitten shape on a piece of construction paper. A way to make the ornament more personal is to trace each family members hand with fingers together.

    • 2

      Cut out four mitten shapes for each ornament and make sure they are the same size. Position two mittens together and punch a hole on the bottom.

    • 3

      Place each set of mittens on your workspace with the thumbs pointing together. Color or draw designs using crayons and markers. For a special touch, write family members names and the year on each of the mittens. Embellish with stickers or glitter glue.

    • 4

      Glue two of the mittens together leaving the bottom open. Stuff each one with scrunched up tissue paper, cotton balls or stuffing material and glue closed.

    • 5

      Take a piece of ribbon or string about 1 foot long and tie the two mittens together.

    • 6

      Hang your ornament on the tree or give to a loved one.
