Mitten Clips

Mitten Clips

These mittens won't warm chilled hands, but they will generate good cheer when clipped to gift tags. Cut a mitten shape from cardboard, and trace it onto a piece of felt. Cut along the lines, and glue the felt to the cardboard with clear-drying white craft glue. Adorn the felt side of the mitten with bits of felt in complementary colors -- dots made with a hole punch, a monogram, felt trim edged with decorative shears, or a Christmas tree cut out with a decorative craft punch. Glue a standard wooden clothespin to cardboard, then glue a magnet to the back of the clothespin. After the gifts have been opened, use your mittens to display greeting cards on the refrigerator.

LOL, I use wave clips for book marks, they don’t sell them any more.

The clothes pins I use to seal bags of cereal, chips, cookies or anything else I need a tight close on.

A few years ago, a smaller version of this went around to use on the hair clip we used to make pin curls......but the clothes pin idea I like better, more holding power.
