Aleene's Upcycle Idea: Turn Your Sweater into No-Sew Mittens

Upcycle Idea: No-Sew Mittens DIY

Winter weather is in full swing, and we still have a ways to go before the chill lets up. Mittens are a MUST if you're heading out into the cold; no one likes freezing fingertips, especially when you have stuff to do! Before you splurge on a pricey new pair, get out that old sweater you've been thinking of tossing (thanks to moth holes - ugh - or normal wear and tear) and spend a little time having some fun with this upcycle idea! This tutorial from Club Crafted shows you how to upcycle your sweater into a cute pair of no-sew mittens using Aleene's® Fabric Fusion®. Winter weather beware, you've got a toasty new set of mittens to chase away the chills!

What you need:

- Aleene's® Fabric Fusion

- Sweater (tighly woven, not cable knit)

- Scissors

- Marker

- Rhinestones or other embellishments if desired

Aleene's Upcycle Idea: Turn Your Sweater into No-Sew Mittens

Turn your sweater inside out and lay flat on your work surface, smoothing out any wrinkles. Use a marker to trace a mitten shape around your hand.

With right sides together, squeeze a thin line of glue around the edge of each bottom piece, leaving only the bottom edges without glue. Let dry completely before flipping mittens right side out.
