Over the weekend I hosted a crafternoon at the Oakland Asian Library Branch. For the event I made a mitten template for washi tape greeting cards. It turned out to be a good craft for all ages. Children as little as 3 were able to make their own card (with a little help from their parents). So today I’m sharing the template with all of you. But instead of cards, I’m making gift tags with the template.
Supplies:
Mitten template printed on card stock – click here for PDF
Washi tape in various prints/colors
Scissors
Hole Punch
Baker’s twine or string
Mini pom-poms
Glue Dots
1. Begin to cover mitten with washi tape. It doesn’t matter if you go out of the lines.
2. Cover the whole mitten with tape. I added a contrasting print at the bottom as a decorative cuff.
3. With scissors, cut out the mitten.
4. Punch a small hole at the center bottom of the mitten and add thread the baker’s twine trough it. Place a glue dot on the hole and string and cover with a mini pom-pom. Buttons also work well.
Play around with different prints to make a variety of mitten gift tags.
Such a cute idea, Jessica, and I loved your sweater tags too.
