DIY Kids Play Oven Mitt

July 24, 2012

Sunday morning I woke up with the urge to clean and get organized. About a year ago, I transformed our under-the-stairs closet into a clubhouse for the boys, and now it was overflowing with mis-matched toy parts, game pieces and more. Our family room and dining room were also cluttered with toys and games. I spent most of the morning creating a bag for goodwill, a large box of toys for storage and then decided to switch some toys from upstairs to downstairs and downstairs to upstairs. The kitchen play set was one toy we brought downstairs and it is amazing how much creative play took place just by introducing a forgotten toy. It was great to see them cook and “buy” food with the shopping cart. Then in the midst of it all, I realized they NEEDED an oven mitt. Right away. So as usual, I stopped everything I was doing and got into craft mode. Fortunately this project is super simple.

I cut out a mitt shape from two pieces of red felt. It measures approx. 5.5″w x 7″h. Then using size 3 crochet thread and a tapestry needle, I made a blanket stitch around the edges, leaving the bottom open. Here is a great video tutorial on how to make a blanket stitch:

I left a long tail at the end to make a loop for hanging it. And thats it! An easy play oven mitt!

Ok now back to cleaning… Here is our freshly organized clubhouse!

Toys are put away and organized in clear labeled bins
 A hanging sports bag holds all the balls, rackets, indoor golf clubs, etc.
PS – sorry for the lousy pictures. My computer crashed on me and is getting repaired, so I couldn’t take photos with my nice camera or adjust the lighting in photoshop 🙁

      That’s such a creative DIY idea! I really like hands-on projects like this — it reminds me of how creative Magic Brawl APK players get when customizing their game setups.

    Thank you, I’ve recently been searching for information about this subject for ages and yours is the greatest I have discovered so far. But, what about the conclusion? Are you sure about the source?
    very few websites that happen to be comprehensive below, from our point of view are undoubtedly well worth checking out.

    مجلس ترحيم يک رويداد يا مراسمي است که در آن به ياد يک فرد فوت‌کرده گرامي‌داشت مي‌شود. اين مراسم معمولاً با هدف افشاي احساسات عزا و تسليت به خانواده و دوستان فوت‌کرده برگزار مي‌شود. مراسم مجلس ترحيم در فرهنگ‌ها و مذاهب مختلف به صورت‌ها و روش‌هاي متفاوتي برگزار مي‌شود. اين مراسم مي‌تواند شامل عناصر مختلفي مانند خواندن اشعار، تلاوت قرآن، خطبه‌ها، دعاها و سخنراني‌هايي درباره زندگي و کارنامه فوت‌کرده باشد. اجاره مداح و اکو بهشت زهرا در برخي فرهنگ‌ها، مجلس ترحيم به عنوان مرحله‌اي از مراسم تدفين و خداحافظي با فوت‌کرده نيز ممکن است مطرح شود. به طور کلي، اين مراسم به افرادي که از دست رفته‌اند، افتخار مي‌کند و فرصتي براي خانواده، دوستان و آشنايان فوت‌کرده فراهم مي‌کند تا احساسات خود را با يادآوري و ترحيم او به اشتراک بگذارند.
