How to Make Ninja Mittens

POSTED BY Sara Franklin, 17 July 2007

Tired of your old, ugly mittens? We've got a pretty creative way to whip up some awesome ninja mittens out of a long sleeve T-shirt and a little extra fabric. For more information, watch the video!

 

 

 

 

First, cut off the sleeves of a long-sleeve T-shirt.

Now, cut along the seams and lay the sleeves out flat.

Find a good length for your mittens, and cut off the extra fabric.

 

Now, cut another piece of fabric about the size of the width of the sleeves, and cut a few strips.

 
 

 Pin the strips to the sleeves, and sew them on!

Next, have a friend wrap the sleeve (inside out) around your arm and pin it together; then sew.

 
 
 

Cut off the extra fabric after sewing.

Turn the mittens inside out again, and your almost finished!

Carefully, snip out a thumb hole. 

 Thats it! Now you have a sweet pair of ninja mittens to defend your city streets with...or just look cool in!
