Item # 132110457P149
Beginner Under 1 Hour

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

  • Sweater (tightly woven, not thick cable knit)
  • Aleene's Fabric Fusion adhesive
  • Scissors
  • Marker
  • Rhinestones or other embellishments, optional

DIRECTIONS:

  1. For best results, please read all instructions before beginning project. Refer to photo for color and design placement.

  2. Turn the sweater inside out. Even out the bottom of the sweater and lay flat.
  3. Place your hand at the base, fingers spread apart slightly. Use a marker to trace a mitten shape around your hand with plenty of extra space.
  4. Cut it out. The front and back of the sweater should remain together.
  5. Flip over the mitten, trace on the sweater and repeat to make a matching pair of no-sew mittens. Flipping them is important if the front and back of your sweater are different.
  6. With right sides together, add a line of glue all the way around the mitten to glue the front and back pieces together. DO NOT glue the bottom because this is where your hand will enter. Let dry 2-4 hours.
  7. Carefully turn the mittens right side out. They should appear symmetrical.
  8. Add embellishments if desired! Use the Fabric Fusion adhesive to glue on rhinestones, pompoms or other supplies to customize the mittens.
