Have you ever been pushing three kids through a store trying desperately to get the stuff you need and get the heck out of there as fast as humanly possible when suddenly you spot the perfect deal and your entire afternoon just comes together? Well, that happened to me. True story. Over two pairs of black kid gloves and a sheet of white felt – all for under $2.
MONSTER GLOVES!
Materials Needed:
- gloves of any color
- 1 sheet of felt, also of any color
- needle and thread
Cut 10 small triangles in the shape of claws. Simply sew a few stitches to attach each claw to each finger, and voila! Monster gloves!
Nothing fancy, but man are my boys (scratch that, boy, Oliver decided that he hates monster gloves) enjoying them!
Wearing monster gloves will probably impart some extra courage onto your little guy or gal- maybe enough to approach some scary ghosts!
P.s.- We had enough felt left over for two hanging ghosts!
I am now on my way to convince a very princessy and frilly five year old that she needs monster gloves, just so I can make these.
Nice! Very intimidating claws on those monster gloves. I love that Oliver decided they just weren’t for him- that’s the beauty of having a few kids around, there’s always someone who’s game 🙂
Cool idea! I once made Wolverine claws for Julian out of plastic & duct tape because the store bought version was ridiculous and expensive. Homemade stuff is the best.
I’m picturing Oliver expressing distaste over the monster gloves, and it’s totally making me laugh.
Goodness, that is such a cute idea! Your little monster looks so happy in those gloves 🙂 Perfect for Halloween.
