Jingle Bell Mitt

How to Make Music Crafts with Kids

By , About.com Guide

Instructions for making jingle bell mitts to play music.

Materials Needed:

  • Felt
  • 1/2 to 1 Inch Size Jingle Bells
  • Glue
  • Needle and Thread

Instructions:
Cut out 4 slightly over-sized mitten shapes out of felt. Attach 2 of the felt pieces together with glue, or sew them together, leaving the bottom open for the hand to fit in. Repeat with the other 2 pieces of felt. Sew 4 Jingle Bells along the finger edge of each mitt. Slip the mitts on and clap your hands together to make music!
