the 12 days of mitten: day 11

We have found many uses for the mittens:

decorating tables, embarrassing guests,

giving pseudo personal gift cards,

getting children high on sugar,

how about decorating the Christmas tree?

Well, not really tree!
We always get a live tree, so no luck for the photo shoot in mid-November!
But the mittens can also be used to decorate stair ways,
and a wreath! (like I did last year on this wreath.)

Over the years, we have put our mittens

on our tree, just to decorate it,

or to hide a little surprise just like you would in a stocking.

Because there is no limitation to color or personalization,

(after all it does not need to have a snow flake on it),

you can make them for every family member including pets.

We have some older ones with bones (cut piece of felt),

with a bear (charm), just let your imagination

and supply decide the direction.

These mittens made perfect decorations for Christmas tree

for family with young children and/or pets,

there are after all made of felt and unbreakable!

Go ahead,

make a mitten!
