Open SCAL 3, add 5 Circles, cut from Sticky Back Canvas.

Open eCraft Software add tag, cut from Sticky Back Canvas; import Cuff cut from Sticky Back Canvas (not shown)

With material right sides together, stitch mittens using sewing machine; trim ends and any bulky edges

Turn right side out, and stuff; seal with a piece of 3L Adhesive

I created a 5 Petal Flower using the cut circles (watch for a future video) and adhered to the mitten with Pop Up Glue Dots, added a button to the center. The sentiment is stamped in Black Archival on the Sticky Back Canvas Tag, and adhered under the button. To hang, punch holes in cuff and insert wire. Tie Twine in button holes; adhere in place with Pop Up Glue Dots.
