Directions:
- Either draw your own mitten or download, print, cut and trace the template I created. You will need to pick one color of construction paper for the main mitten and then one for the mitten band. The link to the template is in the supply list above.
- Trace and cut out as many mittens as you would like to be on your banner. You will need one band per mitten.
- Use the glue stick to glue each band to a mitten. Have fun mixing and matching colors.
- Use the hole punch to punch two holes in the band of the mitten, one at each end.
- Use the metallic markers and glitter glue to decorate your mittens. Once you are done decorating let them dry.
- Once they are dry string them on yarn and hang up your mitten banner!
