Make-It-Over Monday
It was a little chilly recently so I grabbed one of my heavier jackets and reached into the pockets to find only one glove. What would you make out of a lonely, single glove?

You could add googly eyes on the back of the hand as well as maybe a piece of red pipe cleaner for a mouth and wear the glove on your hand as a spider puppet.
Hmmm … sew the fingers together and sew the wrist closed (flat) and make an interesting hot pad? Or embroider/stick bees/ladybugs on the fingertips and put a small flowerpot on it. If you made little felt or whatever insects, stick some on the flowerpot, too.
Two things come to mind when I see it (maybe will try making one or both)… but what comes to mind is first.. I would use moving eyes and felt pieces and create little faces on each finger to make mini hand puppets. the second idea that I popped into my head was to use a mug and glue one side of the glove to the mug in the position of like it was holding the mug.. so that when it dries, you can still put your in it. That way when the contents are somewhat hot.. you can have your hand insulated… or if it is cold
Sherri, I’m so glad you’re back in the groove! I like googley eyes for a glove like this
Darn, Carren got one of my ideas 1st
How about an oven mitt? Glue textured rubber or silicon dots to the fingertips for gripping and insulation and a larger piece on the palm for the same purpose.
I think they would be cute if you stuff the whole glove and on the fingers put googly eyes, small brown pompoms for the noses and long or short pieces of black, brown or white for the ears. Gather it up at the wrist and stitch closed, then put it in a small round basket to look like a basket full of puppies.
