No-Sew Farmhouse Mittens Ornament
Glue together these cute farmhouse mitten ornaments that look vintage. A no-sew craft, it's easy to make brand new jingle bells look rustic with our easy craft hack!
Materials
- 1/4 yard fabric
- Free Mitten Pattern
- Microfiber cloth (or material similar to a fuzzy fur; I used a car cleaning cloth)
- Twine
- Small bells
- Paint brush
- Brown chalk paint (if no chalk paint, acrylic mixed with baking powder)
- Polyfill
- Hot glue gun and glue
- Chalk or pen
Instructions
- Fold the fabric. Using chalk (or a pen), trace the mittern pattern onto the fabric. Cut out the mittens shapes. *Note, you do not need to place the pattern on the folded part. You just need two separate mitten cut outs.
- Using a hot glue gun, glue along the edge of the mitten shape leaving the top open to stuff with polyfill (about 1/4 “seam” allowance).
- Fill the mitten with a small amount of stuffing to help give it shape.
- Cut a small piece of twine for the loop of the ornament and hot glue it inside the mitten on one side. Hot glue the opening closed.
- Using the edge of the micro fiber 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.
- Cut twine and string rusty bells (see tip below) through the twine and around the mitten (below the cuff) to give it a rustic farmhouse look. Complete with a bow glued on.
**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 worn, matte appearance.
Notes
- I used a car cleaning cloth for a fuzzy mitten cuff with a hemmed edge already. I just cut the cloth and had the rough seam glued against the mitten.
