This is for you Laurel ...

My friend Laurel asked me to show a closer look at these cute mitten frames that I have hanging in my kitchen. I will admit, I did not make these, but looking at how simple they are, I'm sure they would be very easy to duplicate! (This might be something fun to try with your kids on a wintry day!!)

You would need a decent length of string or ribbon (to hang between a doorway you'd need about 3-5 feet). You can cut out your shapes from anything ... mittens, snowmen, gingerbread men, stars ... if you have some large cookie cutters they would make a wonderful template for tracing. Cut your shapes from cardstock or construction paper ... or even patterned paper would be pretty.

Cut out some small pictures of your loved ones, if you have a circle shaped punch (like for scrapbooking) it would make it even easier to cut out the faces. Attach pictures to your shapes with tape or glue.

You can find the mini clothespins at most craft or scrapbooking stores. Then just put it all together and hang it up! SO CUTE!


And a special thank you to my Mom who gave me this in my stocking last Christmas! She's in the mitten on the left right above. :)
