It's a glove, it's a mitten, IT'S A GLITTEN!

Step 2 Making the pattern

 A pattern if something you use a guide to cut your material.  It's helpful when your are cutting anything other than rectangles (which can be measured easily, and are straight lines)

For this pattern, I just used standard paper, you can use newsprint, construction paper, whatever, as long as the pieces are bigger than your hand.


1. trace your hand on the paper. Go from your wrist to somewhere between your first and second knuckle, this will be pattern #1

2. Cut out pattern #1 and place it on a fresh sheet/area

3. Put your hand back down on the pattern and trace a "mitten" shape around your fingers, from the space between your first and second knuckle, this will be pattern #2

4. Cut out pattern #2

5. Put #1 on a new sheet and trace it with about 1/2" extra (you'll need the extra for seams)

6. Flip #1 over and trace, so you make your pattern into a beautiful butterfly. (you can also trace, and then fold in half and cut, like cutting valentine hearts, so that each half is even.)

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with pattern #2
