Brrrr! When temperatures drop and you’re wondering how to occupy your time indoors, take a look around your home for these common items and spend an afternoon making these cozy-moment crafts.


Mitten Garland

Gather outgrown or unwanted gloves or mittens in your home to make this cozy craft!

Items Needed

  • Twine
  • Mittens
  • Clothes pins

Steps

  1. Hang a strand or two of thick twine around a fireplace or entryway.
  2. Attach mittens or gloves to the twine using clothes pins.

Chocolate Candy Cane Dippers

Use leftover holiday candy to make these sweet treats.

Items Needed

  • Candy canes
  • Chocolate chips or bars
  • Mini marshmallows or sprinkles
  • Parchment paper

Steps

  1. Melt chocolate in the microwave using 30-second intervals. Stir chocolate in-between each interval until smooth.
  2. Dip the long end of the candy cane into the chocolate multiple times until well coated.
  3. On the last dip, add sprinkles or attach mini-marshmallows to the chocolate side of the candy cane.
  4. Place the finished chocolate-covered candy cane on parchment paper to dry.

During chilly winter evenings, grab a blanket, sit on the couch and enjoy a cozy moment with a loved one. As you admire your mitten garland and sip on a warm mug of hot chocolate, don’t forget to include the chocolate candy-cane dipper!
