10 Ways to Spice Up Snow Gear

By Marie |

To me, January means winter! It’s cold, often white (or gray), I get the bug to hit the slopes, and we start to wear lots of layers of clothing. Snow hats and gloves are among those layers. And even though it may not be snowing where I live, it’s still fun to play around and wear winter hats and gloves as the temperature has dropped.

So to make things a little more exciting for the kids, I’ve found 10 tutorials to help give their snow hats and mittens a little extra kick, adding a few embellishments. I especially love the Mohawk Beanie tutorial, pictured above by This Mama Makes Stuff!

Read on to see what fun hats, gloves, and finger puppets you can make:
