It wouldn’t be Christmas without a pair of DIY Hanging Christmas Mittens to go along with our stockings! With vintage Santa scrapbook paper, some greenery and berries, and a “Merry” hangtag, this is one budget friendly Christmas craft you are definitely gonna want to make!
Would you believe me if I told you that these DIY Hanging Mittens are simply CARDBOARD?!
Yup! One of our favorite things to craft with in my VIP subscription group, The CRafterparty, is good ‘ole cardboard!
I even have a T-shirt that says “Cardboard Queen” in my shop!
Not only did we make these DIY Mittens, but we made a Stocking too!

When you make things out of cardboard, you most likely will need a template, unless you are good at hand drawing things (I am NOT). In The CRafterparty, I always provide a printable paper template with anything that we make out of cardboard, just like this mitten template you see below.
We made both Cardboard Christmas Mittens identical, except one of them has a vintage gold Christmas ornament hanging from the cuff……
And one has a Kraft paper “Merry” hangtag.
We made a grungy furry cuff to give it an antiqued vintage-y vibe to go along with the Vintage Santa scrapbook paper, and stuck some greenery and berries out of the top of each mitten cuff.
Of course we had to add a cute messy fabric bow with excelsior to each hanging mitten!
How cute does it look with that Dollar Tree Half Wood Snowman we made last year for our Countdown to Craftmas?!
As always…be inspired to make it your own and if you need a little help, come join us in The CRafterparty!
