Christmas Lacing

We thought it would be fun to try lacing some Christmas mittens. Unfortunately we had broken the hole punch while building our catapults…oops. I used a pencil to poke holes in these one, and then used a star-shape to punch the holes for my toddler. The larger holes actually turned out to be easier for him to do the lacing.

There are lots of other options – stockings, snowflakes, snowmen…

I would say, though, that the sturdier the paper is, the better. This was cheap construciton paper, and it ripped through the holes a few times. I think that cardstock would be a better option.

I live in Hamilton, Ontario, and love my city. I'm a Netflixer, choral music geek, bookworm, inventor of recipes (I take Artistic Licence on EVERYTHING that I make), wife of one, mother of two, and owner of a neurotic Schnauzer. I respect people who respect others. I love good food that's well done, but my favourite lunch is KD & hotdogs. With ketchup. I'm addicted to Clearance Shopping. I will ALWAYS get the product that I want at the price that I want, eventually.
