There are plenty of handprint Christmas crafts floating around Pinterest these days, and I wanted to put a bit of a different spin on ours, so we made these felt hand print mitten ornaments today.

Instead of an actual handprint, the Hooligans started by tracing the outline of their closed hand on a piece of cardboard.  

We then glued a piece of felt to the back of that tracing, and I cut out their outlined hands.  Voila:  a mitten that represents the size of your child’s hand.

The Hooligans then glued some stretched out cotton balls to the cuff of their mittens, and decorated them with foam craft pieces and craft jewels.

Simple, quick and cute!  The perfect craft for a busy time of year!
