How to Make Your Own Rustic No-Sew Mitten Ornaments
Who doesn’t love to add to their ornament collection? I sure do! It’s the best way to get a variety without breaking the bank.
Supplies
- 1/4 yard fabric of choice
- Microfiber cloth (or material similar to a fuzzy, “fur”)
- Fabric scissors
- Twine
- Small bells
- Paintbrush
- Brown chalk paint (if no chalk paint, acrylic mixed with baking powder)
- Polyfill
- High heat hot glue gun
- Industrial grade hot glue sticks
- Printer for the PDF pattern
- Chalk
Instructions
1. Print and cut out the PDF pattern here. Fold the fabric and using chalk, trace the pattern onto the fabric. Once traced, using fabric scissors cut the mittens shapes (will be needed two from the fold).
2. Next, using a high heat, hot glue gun, and industrial-grade glue sticks (to ensure a strong hold of fabric) glue all along the edge of the mitten shape leaving the top open to stuff with polyfill (about 1/4 “seam” allowance).
3. Fill mitten with a small amount of polyfill to help give it shape. After, cut off a small piece of twine for the loop of the ornament and hot glue it inside the mitten on one side. Once polyfill and twine are within the mitten, hot glue the opening closed.
4. Loop the twine into the open end of the mitten. Then hot glue the seam shut.
5. Using the edge of the microfiber cloth, cut off approximately 5” x 1.5” piece of cloth for the “fur” of the mitten. Starting at the back, hot glue one side down wrapping it around the front, and meeting back up.
6. Lastly, using the twine string rusty style bells through the twine and around the mitten to give it a rustic farmhouse look finishing it off with a bow.
NOTE: If you can’t find miniature rusty bells, you can use bells from the dollar tree and paint them with a chalky brown paint. If you can’t find chalk paint, you can add a bit of baking soda to some brown acrylic paint to give it a textured, matte appearance.
And voila! You’ve got a cute little rustic no-sew mitten ornament!
