What You Need
- Felt in any color
- Pattern (see below)
- Felt marker
- Scissors
- Glue
- Curl Hair clips (with spring) * see below for picture
- Stickers, glitter, glitter paint, ribbon, etc.
- Wax paper
How To Make It
- Print out the Mitten Bookmark pattern.
- Cut out the patterns.
- Use the marker to trace around the patterns 2 times on the felt.
- Cut out all 4 pieces. It will take 4 pieces of felt to make one bookmark. Important:
Be sure to lay all mitten pieces with the thumb part facing the same way!
- Lay the mittens out in front of you. Take the 2 mittens that have the tops
removed and lay them out as the 2nd and 3rd mitten. This step is done so the
2nd and 3rd mitten pieces will fit inside the hair clip and let the mitten
pieces on the top and bottom line up.
- Lay the 1st and 2nd mitten pieces on wax paper.
- Spread glue on the mitten piece them so that the thumbs will match up.
- Lay the hair clip on top of the 1st mitten piece. (The top of the hair
clip (spring part) goes at the top of the mitten where you would put in your
hand.)
- Open up the clip and hold it open.
- Lay the second mitten piece, already glued, on top of the hair clip. Make
sure the mitten edges are even.
- Repeat steps 6 to 10 for the 3rd and 4th sides. Makes sure that the second
set of mittens are facing the same way as the first set of mitten.
- Place wax paper in the middle of the hair clip so that the two glued pieces
of felt do not stick together.
- Let dry overnight.
- Let the child decorate their mitten with stickers, glue & glitter,
tiny ribbon bows, etc. Remember this bookmark goes inside a book so don't
add anything dimensional.
- Help the child wrap it up and give it as a gift!
