Trace your child’s hand to make this felt handprint mitten ornament. Years from now, when you hang this little mitten on the Christmas tree, you’ll reminisce about how small your child once was.
You’ll also love our Baby Sock Keepsake Ornament.
Another easy and inexpensive Christmas craft for toddlers!
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 each of the hooligans made a felt hand print mitten ornament today.
See all of our handprint crafts here.
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 decorated their felt mittens with cotton balls, foam craft pieces and craft jewels.
Simple, quick and cute! The perfect craft for a busy time of year!

I made felt mitten oraments several years ago. We made two mittens and used yarn to string together (also the hanger) to make a pair of mittens.
