Hi Scribblers,

I love making crafts and my mind is always buzzing with new ideas but being just a few days after the holidays…I was having a hard time coming up with ideas! I was looking out the window admiring the sunny day and how warmed it seemed to be (it’s a chilling 20 degrees here today!!), when I  thought- aha! a sun catcher! So, to combine warmth with winter, I made this Mitten Sun Catcher!

To make this craft, you will need:

To start, draw a mitten shape on a piece of construction paper. It will need to be large enough so that you can cut out the inside as well.

Cut out the mitten shape and lay flat onto a piece of contact paper.

Cut up colorful piece of tissue paper. I made little pieces about an inch long.

Sprinkle the tissue paper pieces into the center cut out area of the mitten.

When you have finished placing all the tissue paper pieces, add a few extra to fill in any empty spaces and carefully flatten out any pieces that may have curled up.
Place another piece of contact paper over the finished mitten.

Cut out the mitten from the contact paper, trimming just outside the edge of the construction paper.

Punch a hole into the mitten cuff, string a ribbon loop onto it, hang up and enjoy!
