Cotton Ball Mitten Craft - Instructions:
STEP 1: Print the mitten template.
To begin making the mitten craft, you need to print out the mitten template. Scroll down below and download it! Once you have your mitten outline, cut out each mitten shape carefully using scissors and then grab the rest of your supplies.
STEP 2: Trace the mitten outlines.
Grab the coloured cardstock you've chosen to work with and start tracing the mitten outline onto it using a pencil. Do this step twice.
STEP 3: Decorating your mitten shape
Using your hole puncher, make a hole on the top corner of the thumbs and then start decorating your mitten shape!
Invite the little ones to use their favourite decorations like sequins. Use white markers to add some frosty details. Encourage the kids to be creative; the sky's the limit!
STEP 4: Add cotton balls to the mitten craft.
Once you have finished decorating your mitten craft, take the cotton balls and glue them along the wrist section of each mitten.
STEP 5: Add yarn to your mitten craft.
Using scissors, cut a piece of yarn and bring each end of the yarn strand through both holes you made on the mittens.
Have fun trying out different colour combinations and experimenting with different ways of decorating your mitten outline.
