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.
