Tips to Make a Winter Mitten Wall Hanging
- First, grab the free mitten cut files here. That will allow you to cut out the mittens while you’re putting together the wood backing. If you don’t want to use a cutting machine, that’s no problem – just print out the design and cut it out by hand. It’s not an overly complex design, so cutting with scissors wouldn’t take too long or be too much of a hassle.
- Then, you can make your own gift tag or you can use the one included in the above linked mitten cut file set. It’s a simple enough shape, so even if you just wanted to use a piece of card stock cut down and then hand-lettered, that would be fun, too!
- I thought this would make a GREAT door hanger, but I have a million door hangers, so while I was thinking about where to hang it, I leaned it against the side of the fireplace and BAM! It has a new home and it’s amazing. Definitely a great place for it to sit.

Instructions
- Cut Wood to (2) 3/16” x 4” to 24” length (or desired) and (1) 3/16” x 1” to 8 ¼” length (or desired length) twice.
- Stain along the grain of the wood with a sponge brush in a well ventilated area, then wipe the wood when the color is as dark as desired. Allow the stain to dry completely.
- Download the cut files then upload them into Design Space.
- In layers panel, select just the mitten, then select "flatten" and hit "make it" button.
- Select "continue" located at the bottom right of the screen, then, send to the printer and print on the card stock paper.
- Place the printed card stock onto the cutting mat then load the mat into the cutting machine and adjust material setting to card stock and hit “go”. Repeat until you have 2 mittens and a Christmas tag cut.
- Assemble the sign by placing both base pieces of wood side-by-side on a flat surface with only a small space between the two pieces.
- Place the two smaller pieces of wood about 3 1/4-inches from the top or bottom of the base pieces, respectively and glue to base, edge to edge.
- Shape the two Christmas stems into a "V" shape and glue the two stems to the top horizontal wood piece.
- Stack the two mittens on top of each other, with the majority of the second one showing behind the top one, then glue them together this way. Allow the glue to dry completely.
- Glue the stacked gloves into the center of the sign, squarely between the Christmas stems.
- Cut the string to length needed to hang the tag near the top of the mitten and tie the string together after looped through the tag.
- Glue the top of the string slightly under the Christmas stems, leaving the tag dangling over the top of the mittens. Then it's time to display your new sign!
