It's getting chilly here, which means it's time for hat & mittens! This is a super simple way to give new or old winter wear a little makeover...drab to fab! The cost? I spent $1 on fabric, and used less than 1/4 yard, so 25 cents! Add in a glue stick, and about 4 inches of heat 'n bond, and we're talking a grand total of about 75 cents. Love it.
And trying to figure out which mittens go to what girl? Problem solved.
Drab to Fab Hat & Mittens
Hat: I made six rolled fabric flowers (click HERE for the tutorial)--three for each hat. I made two of them a little larger, with one smaller. The only thing I did differently was the way I folded the material in the beginning. Instead of taking my strip of fabric and rolling it up into a tube, I folded in in half, then ironed it flat. I did this because I wanted the frayed edges of the material to show on the flowers. Ironing it down makes a huge difference!
Mittens: I followed the directions on the heat 'n bond package to apply the "k" and "e" to each mitten. So easy, and SO darling!

Kierste,
I'm so featuring these, thanks for sharing!!
So cute!
Absolutely adorable ... I love the monogrammed mittens! May have to copy that idea.
These are adorable, just wish I had some kiddies to make some for! Do you think it would be silly to wear them myself?!! I think the hat would work for kids or adults!
Thanks Kierste!

This is such a smart idea. It's a great way to make sure you get the right gloves back from school.
