Step-by-Step
1.Step 1
Fold felt in half so you can cut two of the large Nested Mittens. NOTE: Make sure the right sides are facing each other

2.Step 2
With a sewing machine, sew both mittens around edge, leave top open.

3.Step 3
Thread your needle with a color of thread of your choice. Start at the top (inside), and pull toward the outside edge.

4.Step 4
Insert needle back into felt about 1/4 from the beginning.

6.Step 5
Count down two sewing machine stitches, and repeat the same stitch as before.

Step 9

Apply Glossy accents to the front of your mitten. Hint: The Stampin Up! paper is the back of their Stampin' Dimensionals. I use it because its slick, and glitter doesnt stick to it.

Step 10

Smooth Glossy Accents out over the mitten with a piece of scrap paper. Add glitter and tap off excess.

Step 11

Make a loop with the same thread you used for the stitching, and tie a knot.

Step 12

Gather up the fragment pieces, and tie a knot toward the top. With needle and thread sew them on the mittens. Do the same for the loop above.

15.

Step 13

Add more Glossy Accents where the threads were cut so they do not fray.

Step 14

For this sample a feather boa was airbrushed with the Tea Rose Copic Marker. It was attached to the mitten with Glossy Accents.

17.

When dry, the flower, bow, and heart stick pins were added to finish the ornament.
