How to Make Glove Monsters

1. Supplies:
   • gloves
   • batting
   • sewing machine with a roller foot or walking foot attached
   • needle/thread
   • buttons, felt, etc for embellishing
2. Turn the glove inside out and sew a U-shape from the top of the thumb hole to the other side of the glove leaving a 1″ hole at the top. I used my sewing machine with a roller foot, but you could also hand stitch if you’re allergic to sewing machines. 😉
3. Turn the glove right side out.
4. Tuck the cuff inside.
5. Stuff with batting, making sure to get batting to the end of each of the 4 fingers. It takes only a couple handfuls of batting.
6. Hand stitch the 1″ hole shut.
7. Cut facial features out of felt and hand stitch felt, buttons, etc in place. {Do not use button embellishments for kids under 3 years old, if they came loose, they could present a choking hazard.}

We found that the 2 shorter fingers {pinky and pointer} make fabulous “monster arms” and if you pull the 2 middle fingers a little bit, they make great “monster legs”!
