Winter Mitten Craft Instructions

The first step to creating this fun winter craft is to download and print the Winter Mitten Template.

I highly recommend using cardstock paper if you intend on doing steps 4 & 5. Or a good quality mixed media paper if you intend to use paint or watercolor.

Step 2: Decorate Your Winter Mitten Templates

Have fun decorating your mitten outline however you’d like. Scroll down for some fun decorating ideas and techniques you and your kids can try.

Step 3: Cut Mitten Templates

Once you’re done decorating your Winter Mittens Template, go ahead and cut them out.

Step 4: Hole Punch & Attach String (optional)

Now that your mittens are cut out, you can hole-punch, or puncture a small hole with a pen, at the corners. Then tie a short string at each mitten to join them together.

Step 5: Hang Winter Mittens Garland

If you made a few mittens you can use them to decorate for the holidays with a garland. Simply hang each set of mittens on a string, and voila, you have a Winter Mittens Garland to showcase!

Different Ways to Decorate Mitten Template Craft

My kids and I printed several mitten templates to explore with several decoration ideas to suit your needs.

You can decorate with craft materials you likely already have at home, like paint, stickers, pencils, and cotton balls. It’s totally up to you and your child how you choose to decorate.

Some options are even more suited to toddlers and their developmental skills, while others might be more exciting for big kiddos. Just have fun with it!

Craft Methods and Techniques to Try

Paint
Crayon wax resist with watercolor
Flat tissue paper
Tissue paper balls

We always like to level up our crafting experience with paint or watercolor. It’s a great way to turn a coloring sheet into something more.

With a white crayon and watercolor, you can even create some wax-resist art.

The full tutorial on Watercolor Resist Technique can be found here.

Tissue paper is also a great crafting material you can use flat or balled up. Check out my tissue paper chick tutorial.

Embellishments to Try
