Mittens Advent Calender

 This is a little late so i apologize. This is my version of a mittens advent calender i made. I have been wanting to make my own just didn't have any good ideas until now. But i think she still might need some improvements.

 I made my mittens out of green, black and white felt, to keep my house theme.
First i started by cutting my sheet of felt in half, Then i folded each one in half and started to cut mittens, this way i would get 2 identical mittens cut at one time. Then i hot glued around the inside of the mitten edge sandwiching the 2 identical mittens together to form miniature mittens that have an opening to place candies in. You could make these mittens as large as you want and use anything you'd like to fill them. I also cut small ribbon and hot glued each one into the corner of each mitten.

 For my Numbers i used plain white craft glue that has a fine squeeze tip on the bottle to draw the numbers on each mitten. I did this because i couldn't find foam numbers to buy and i didn't feel like cutting them all out.

 Then while the glue was still wet i used green glitter to cover the glue. I used the same glitter on each mitten but you can use whatever colour your heart desires.

 Make sure to lay them out to dry completely. I also hot glued a button on the 25th day for Christmas.

Then i simply tied each mitten down this section of ribbon to create one long chain. I also made sure to leave enough space after every seven mittens, to symbolize a week. You don't have to do this i just hot other ideas in mind for my mittens.

 At first i thought i would hang it across my mirror

 Or swag it down my banister before i put my garland up.

 But then i remembered i had these blank canvases in my craft room just sitting there. Its Perfect. So i simply cut the strand of ribbon to fit around the canvas and hot glued it there.

And There you go my simple and cute mittens advent calender. I also used a little dab of hot glue to keep each mitten facing forward. But you don't have too especially if you want to turn one over when another day is done. I didn't place any candies in mine because we bought Kane the chocolate advent calender from walmart, to keep the tradition going because Craig and i both got them growing up.
