| Mr and Mrs Mitten Free Craft Project ~ Compliments of Craft At Home |
Material:
2 mittens [I used infant size]
2 wood balls to fit mitten size [I used 1-1/4 inch]
Polyfil or other stuffing material
Fabric scraps
2 pompoms
4 small buttons
2 large buttons
Ribbon or decorative trim
Doll hair
Hot glue gun and sticks
Pencils for face detail
Rice [optional]
How to:
Mr Mitten as you can see in the photo is standing very straight, while Mrs. Mitten is a little lop-sided. This is
because Mr. Mitten has about half of his mitten filled with rice. If you plan to hang these ornaments, don't use
rice, but if you want them to stand on their own, fill about 1/2 of the bottom of the mitten with rice, then fill
the remainder of the mitten with a polyfil, making sure to stuff the thumb of the mittens. Stuff the mittens
firmly.
Glue your wooden ball to the top opening of the mitten and hold in place until completely secure. Cut a small
piece of fabric to use as a scarf for each mitten and a square of fabric that is large enough to wrap around
the wood ball for Mr. Mitten's hat. His hat is attached by gluing along the edge and attaching to the wood
ball, then up the seam of the square to create a funnel. A piece of ribbon is then tied around the top of the
funnel to make his hat.
For Mrs. Mitten, attach a few strands of doll hair to the top center of her head, add a band of ribbon across
from left to right and attach a pompom at each end of the ribbon to create ear muffs. I used a dark blue shoe
lace for the band of her ear muffs and for the band added to Mr. Mittens hat.
Glue buttons to the belly of each mitten, Glue a large button to the bottom of each mitten. This helps them to
stand on their own. Draw a face using a black pencil for the eyes and mouth and red pencil to colour the
cheeks. Tie your fabric scrap around the neck for a scarf and be sure to tie the ends in the area where your
mitten is missing an arm. This will disguise the fact that an arm is missing.
Refer to the photo often for extra help.
